[Shop-talk] carpenter bees eating my shop

[David C.]

My front deck is made with Timber Tech fake lumber.  It's six or seven 
years old, no problems at all.  The stuff comes in 2X sizes decking and 
1x sizes for trim, fascias, etc.  I don't think you can paint it, though 
since it's mostly plastic.
