Overview

Trex Enhance Basics 1×6 composite decking
Trex Enhance Basics 1×6 is a composite deck board from Trex Company. It gives you a clean, painted-wood look with much less work. The board is 5.5 inches wide, so it fits most standard deck layouts.

Lightweight board for easier installs
Trex makes this board with a scalloped core. Because of that, it weighs less than many other composite boards. As a result, crews can carry it faster and reduce strain on site. It also cuts and installs with common tools, so the job stays simple.

Low upkeep for busy outdoor spaces
Trex Enhance Basics has a tough outer layer that helps fight stains, fading, and mildew. Therefore, you spend less time sanding, sealing, or repainting. Most cleanups only need soap, water, and a soft brush.

Color options
You can match many home styles with four core colors. In addition, these shades work well with both light and dark rails.

Available colors

  • Clam Shell
  • Beach Dune
  • Saddle
  • Tide Pool

Recycled materials and warranty
Trex makes Enhance Basics using 95% recycled materials. That includes reclaimed wood fiber and recycled plastic. Also, Trex backs the board with a 25-year limited residential warranty, which adds peace of mind for long-term use.

Best uses
Trex Enhance Basics 1×6 works well for home decks, patios, and everyday outdoor areas. It is a solid choice when you want a good-looking deck at a lower cost, while still getting strong performance and easy care.

Had a great experience with the sales rep. He was very knowledgeable and honest. We ended up buying some thermally modified ayous panels for an outdoor media wall. So far so good. It looks great and hopefully will last for decades… Thank you!! Everyone has told us how much they really like the cladding used for our media wall and we appreciate your help with our project.

Best prices and quality I found after looking at a few different places for lumber for my deck project. Customer service was excellent and they helped me with my selections, staff was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend Beyond Lumber and they will be my go to place for future projects.

Roy and his team are hard to beat. These guys are great, I’m a deck builder myself and their customer services is on point. Thanks for all your help team!

We had an excellent experience with Beyond Lumber. Their team was knowledgeable, professional, and guided us through every step of choosing the right materials. The quality of the IPE and other hardwoods was outstanding—everything arrived on time and exactly as promised. Beyond Lumber truly cares about customer service and delivers top-notch products. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for premium decking and outdoor materials

I started buying IPE from Brazilian Lumber over one year ago before the vendor opened the California location (i.e. where I am located). There were some issues related to the lumber (IPE), BUT the vendor made sure that all was taken care of and that I was happy. I mentioned “the issues” not to say that they product is bad, but rather to stressed out that the vendor provides superb service. No matter what you do, the problems may happen. Important is how such situations are handled. I was working with Luis, great guy to work with. I recommend this vendor.

I upgraded my backyard with Ipe deck tiles for my patio. It was definitely an investment, but it’s turned out to be worth every penny. The tiles were easy to install and the finished product is not only beautiful, but also incredibly durable and functional. I would highly recommend Ipe deck tiles to anyone looking to create a beautiful and long-lasting outdoor space.
