Thought those new composite posts were just overpriced junk
Had a client in Tampa who insisted on them for a whole backyard fence, even after I showed him the price tag. After putting up 200 feet of it last fall, I have to admit the stuff hasn't warped or faded a bit, even with the sun and rain. Anyone else been forced into using a material they hated that actually worked out?

I put in about 150 feet of that vinyl decking for a picky homeowner in Jacksonville, thought it was a total scam. Three years later, it still looks brand new, no staining or cracks. @theawest is right, the upfront sting is nothing compared to the headache of a tear-out and redo. I was wrong to doubt it.

See, that's the thing I've noticed. People get hung up on the initial cost and write it off as a gimmick. I've seen too many cheap materials fail after a couple seasons to ignore something that actually holds up. Sometimes paying more upfront just means you're not paying again later to replace it all.
