I am putting eon on my deck. It is a beautiful product but it isn't like wood. It has a fairly extensive learning curve. It requires clamps, unless you want some pretty big gaps between the planks and it has quite a range of expansion/contraction with heat and cold. It's more difficult to work with than care-tech, but that company went out of business. It also requires substantial sub-structure and bracing. This is not for the novide.
