100% Submersible Marine Composite Decking for Docks 

Water has met its match.

Water has always wreaked havoc on outdoor building materials — splintering docks, warping marinas, and turning boardwalks into a patchwork of rot and decay. Now, Trex offers a way to fight back against this destruction with our 100% submersible, saltwater-safe, built-to-last product.

With Trex composite decking, not only can you rest assured that your dock is durable and will hold up for years to come, but it's also good for the planet. Made with 95% recycled and reclaimed materials, it’s a sustainable choice you can feel good about.

Low-Maintenance Dock, High Visual Appeal

As you build your dock, the last thing you want to think about is the years of constant maintenance ahead. Trex decking is built for relentless performance — so you can spend more time on the water and less time on your dock's upkeep.

Trex decking offers elegant woodgrain textures and on-trend color options that transform your dock from a practical space to an eye-catching focal point of your outdoor design.

Worried about replacing boards that fade and stain from long days of fun in the sun? Trex has you covered with fade- and stain-resistant decking* designed to endure season after season as you get the most use out of your dock.

Another appealing thing about Trex is just how many on-trend color options we offer. Get inspired by images of gorgeous docks and marinas featuring durable Trex decking.

What makes Trex marine-ready?

Every Trex board features a durable capped surface and an uncapped underside engineered for airflow and drainage to help maintain long‑term structural integrity, so moisture, rot, and decay are no match.

Engineered for Performance

Trex's capped composite deck boards are engineered to withstand the rigors of harsh waterfront conditions. Through full submersion, salt exposure, and constant moisture, your dock will continue to perform as well in 10 years as it does on day one.

Long-Term Reliability

Sun, salt, storms, and rising tides — Trex marine decking has the reliability to handle it all and is backed by limited residential warranties** and Trex's trusted brand name.

Smart in the Sun

From backyard decks to dockside spaces, splinter-free Trex decking is designed for durability and everyday enjoyment. With SunComfortable™ Technology* available in select products, Trex decking is engineered to reduce heat absorption and stay cooler than our original boards—so you can enjoy more time outside, even on bright, sunny days.
 


*Trex SunComfortable™ decking stays cooler than our original boards, but like all decking, it will get hot in direct sun, especially darker colors. Care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.

How Trex Marine Decking Stands Up to Real-World Conditions

Not sure if Trex marine decking is tough enough for your home? Our real-world results speak for themselves. Our decking is trusted by builders, homeowners, and large-scale projects around the world, including:
 

  • More than 2 million square feet of Trex decking installations for waterfront projects since 2010
  • An 8.5-mile-long boardwalk in Dubai in the UAE — our largest project to date, which is even visible from space
  • A one-mile-long boardwalk in Everglades National Park, which receives up to 65 inches of rainfall per year
  • 80% of New Jersey’s rebuilt boardwalks, done with Trex after Hurricane Sandy

Our marine decking was selected for these projects to deliver on the promise of Trex's industry-leading quality.

After over 10 years, I can say the boardwalk decking has not only exceeded our expectations, but it actually looks like it was just recently installed!

Extending the Lifespan of Your Dock

If you ask the Mondavi family, they’ll tell you their South Carolina composite dock decking looks as good today as it did on the day it was installed. Built a decade ago, they have survived hurricanes, salt spray, high tides, gale-force winds, and more than a few spilled sodas and Chardonnays.

“It’s been through six hurricanes and never needed a single Trex board replaced.”

- Rob Mondavi
