corner boards and facia on our old home when we did some exterior remodeling
some 15 years or so ago, and the stuff has had no degradation at all from what I
can see. Even in the outside shower where it is under continually wet
conditions for a good part of the year. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Trex will not last 'forever' nor, according to Trex, even more than 10
years (I believe that is the length of their warranty - but I may be wrong
about that, as they've worked with their formula over the years).by the US
Army Corps of Engineers for bridges that can accommodate tanks and even
locomotives.</DIV>
