We have a product called Geo Deck on our dock and it has been maintenance free for the first three years. This past year we noticed some unusual expansion and buckling of the materials. We are not alone with this problem and the manufacturer will not honor the warranty. Apparently the company has been sold several times and the new owners don't feel that they have any obligation to honor the warranty. The fix for the dock will cost several thousand dollars since it is a large dock. Hopefully you won't have the same problem. If it were me, I would go back with 3/4" marine plywood and carpet.

I have it cleaned down to the glass. After glassing in some longitudinal pt stringers, I am going to cover in a trex like composite decking. I think its the perfect choice too! Cant rot, wears well, machines with woodworking tools, heavy- down low where you need extra weight anyway, and economical. Put it down with stainless deck screws and its a lifetime job. My only dilemma is what color?See the original archive post
