I have worked with Trex decking and consider that a viable option.
There are two articles in this month's Fine Homebuilding magazine on decks,
one on framing and one on synthetic decking materials. They had one last
month on porches. I've yet to read the decks articles but I know that Trex
and other plastic woods are not structural. Whatever is used for joists
either must be, ugh, treated wood or will rot if not built well above
ground and protected from rain and snow.
