2. All plastic and not a combination of organic materials like wood fiber and plastic.
3. Protected against deterioration from sunlight.
   
4. Manufactured from 100% recycled HDPE.

  A long life is not all plastic lumber offers. After your deck is installed, there are no additional tasks to take care of. You don’t have to apply sealer or paint ever again. The only maintenance MAXiTUF requires to look it’s best is an occasional “hose down”.

In case your barbecue left a puddle of grease on your plastic lumber deck - no problem - just use some soap and water to rinse off the grease and your deck looks as good as before. Try this with  wood or wood plastic composites . In fact, there are not many chemicals that could stain or hurt Resco’s plastic lumber.

 

Even bleach, paint thinner, diesel, gasoline and battery acid will not succeed in spoiling the beauty of plastic lumber making it especially useful for plastic decks and docks. And all the little critters that do so well in destroying products containing  wood will leave your MAXiTUF deck alone in frustration. Carpenter ants, termites, marine borers, algae and fungi are not a concern with plastic lumber because it’s designed to protect your investment. This fairly new decking material is splinter free and also free of dangerous chemicals. A fact you will appreciate especially if you have little ones to worry about. 

“We’ve replaced the whaler boards around our concrete floats with  Resco’s MAXiTUF. After 4 years they still look brand new.” Milo Hanson, Port of Gold Beach, Oregon

You see MAXiTUF plastic lumber is not only used for residential decking but also benefits commercial and industrial applications. Milo Hanson, having years of experience in marina construction and maintenance, knows precisely how to get the biggest bang for the buck. Milo’s first project was to replace the whaler boards on existing finger docks. These whaler boards give the boat a surface to rub against and in addition ties the two segments of the finger dock together. Quite some time after the dock was finished he made the following observations:

•  The bolt holes through the whalers were still the original size. (Enlargement of bolt holes is a common problem encountered with wood.). MAXiTUF has a much greater compressive strength, resisting the “wobbling” effect.
•  The whalers didn’t change a bit in appearance.
•  The fellow occupying the slip next to the new finger dock was inquiring when his side would be upgraded.

 
We demonstrated to Milo and the Port of Gold Beach that plastic lumber not only increased the satisfaction of their customers but also dramatically reduced their maintenance cost, and this for many years to come. Since Milo discovered plastic lumber he has used it for many of his projects.

 

Ever notice how noisy a wooden deck can be? MAXITUF plastic lumber, while very comfortable to walk on reduces the noise of footsteps to a minimum. This fact will be appreciated by anyone who sleeps at your marina. If you choose MAXiTUF in a soft, light gray, you'll discover that:

•   Glare is effectively controlled (thats why we dont recommend white).
•   Visibility and safety at night is increased. Especially in rainy nights, when wood appears to be almost black and barely reflects any light at all.
