Trex decks, or composite decks, are advertised for their durability and simplicity when it comes to caring for and maintaining the deck surface, especially compared to traditional wood decks. Trex decks are made of a smooth material that comes in a variety of styles and colors and can be purchased online or in many hardware or home repair stores. While Trex decks are largely considered to be stain resistant, some stains may still occur, such as rust stains when metal items are allowed to remain wet on the deck surface. Removing rust stains from Trex surfaces is relatively simple.
