Bed wood alternative

[Southpa]

I'm considering using this material for rebuilding the deck in my truck.

Its too bad there aren't any custom sizes, its all lumber grade dimensions, so some custom fitting will be needed. Colors come in tan, green and grey. UV protected and does not rot, split, chip etc.etc. no finishing required...hard to scratch and easy to clean!

Cross bars will need to be redrilled, probably easiest to do that as I move along. I will have to rout the "wood" for the expansion joints and skid strips, no problemo there, did I say this stuff acts just like wood!?? Will not MELT!
And lastly, I will need to order extra skid strips and hardware. Dimensions are 1"X6" (actually 3/4" X 5-1/2") and comes in 8 ft and 12 ft lengths. The extruding factory is right here in town and I was told I can get it from a couple local lumber retailers for about 2 bucks a foot.

OK, so I figure it could very well cost me roughly the same as buying a whole new kit w/ the stainless and varnished oak. The tan color matches my paint (hugger orange) nicely and the stuff lasts forever and is low maintenance. I can still help people move and haul their garbage around w/out having to worry about scratching something.
