With an expected average retail price in the low $2-per-lineal-foot range, Trailhead decking offers affordability, easy maintenance and a rugged appearance. Trailhead comes in Ridgeline (gray), Pathway (brown) and Canyon (red-brown) — three lightly streaked colors with natural, flat-grain embossing. The 7/8-inch-by-5.5-inch Trailhead boards are available in 12-,16- and 20-ft. solid and grooved-edge profiles. The boards are made with a shallow scalloped profile with four lobes. Competitive advantages include a highly compressed core, a durable, scratch-resistant polyethylene cap on three sides through the grooved edge, a 16-inch-on-center joist span, and compatibility with the Deckorators Pro Plug fastening system. Unique to Deckorators, the 25-year removal-and-replacement warranty covers the labor costs to remove and replace the product if it fails due to a manufacturing issue. Visit www.Deckorators.com/2021
