After 17 years, we are finally figuring on putting the deck on the back of our house this year. Currently we are contemplating using TimberTech , which is a wood-fiber-and-plastic composite. IIRC SOP is to install this material as decking over a regular treated lumber frame. One of their alleged benefits we are after is the ability to water-proof (and bug-proof) the top deck of a two-story structure.

The owner of the local lumber yard carrying the stuff is one of the neighbors that we actually get along with (lumber yard owners seem less upset by logging) and we will have to go next door and check out the Timber Tech deck on his house - it's been up a few years now.

Their "Docksider" planks are designed for 24" center-to-center supports.
