Anyone have experience with composite decking?

Duane sorry yes the clear does not contain an UV protection so it would turn grey. A stain is the only way to prevent the gray look. Personally I would do a clear sealer and just pressure wash every year. Are you going to install this deck?

Yes-I'm going tondo the install. I've listed the existing materials up for grabs on craigslist for someone to get it for free as long as they disassemble it and haul it off. I've already gotten 6-7 responses in less than 2 hours.

I'm thinking if the cedar's gonna fade no matter what and it'll come to staining
It to avoid the gray, I might as well get treated and stain it.
