Cons:

2. Potential for Heat Retention: Like many composite decking materials, these boards might retain heat, which can make them warm to the touch on extremely hot days.
3. Weight: Composite decking boards are generally heavier than traditional wood, which might require additional considerations during installation or if modifications are needed later.
4. Limited Natural Feel: While Trex Transcend mimics the appearance of wood, some purists believe that there's no substitute for the actual feel of natural timber.
