Composite Decking and local data in Shawnee
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Shawnee sees about 34 days a year at 90°F or above. Lighter colors and heat-mitigating board lines are worth comparing.
About 65 wet days and 103 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 17.4 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
With 74% detached homes, many projects in Shawnee re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
