Everline Composite Decks · The no-wood deck company · Clayfield & Norwood Terrace · Since 2012
We sold our last board of wood in 2012. It was a load-bearing decision.
Everline builds composite and nothing else — capped boards on twelve-inch centres, hidden clips, picture-frame borders, and a 25-year fade-and-stain warranty we have read to the last clause. No wood line on the quote means no wood arguments in year four.

One material, mastered
Composite is not a side of our business — it is the whole business. The gapping, the joist centres, the picture-frame mitres: every detail of the install is the one the manufacturer’s warranty assumes, because it is the only install we know how to do.
The warranty, read aloud
Twenty-five years against fade and stain, transferable to your buyer, and we hand you the clause map at walkthrough — what is covered, what voids it, and the two-page care card that is shorter than a recipe.
No wood upsell
There is no cedar option to steer you toward and no treated-pine margin to protect. When we say composite is the right board for your yard, it is the only sentence our invoice knows how to write.

The same boards, the tenth summer
Photographed a season or more after handover — long enough for a stained wood deck nearby to have gone silver, grey or green. These have not.
How the build goes
The no-wood sequence
Shorter than a wood build by two whole rituals — no acclimation stack to babysit and no stain calendar to argue about. Four movements, the same every time.
The site visit
Tape, slope and the shade map — because the one honest composite question is heat, and the answer is board colour. You leave with samples to leave in the sun and a budget band in writing.
The drawing & the number
A scaled plan with your furniture on it, the board line chosen from the samples you sun-tested, and one fixed price. Footings, frame, clips, rail — all in, nothing “to allow.”
Frame & boards
Footings below frost, twelve-inch centres, blocking at every rail post, then clips — never face screws — and a mitred border so the yard never sees a cut end.
The clause-map walkthrough
Fasteners checked, warranty folder handed over with the clause map inside, care card on top. Then we leave, and the deck asks nothing of you for a decade except the hose.
We owned the wood deck this one replaced and spent four weekends a year apologizing to it. The Everline boards are on year six, the hose is the entire relationship, and the colour is the colour we picked — which is the part the neighbours still cannot believe.
They left three samples in our south-facing yard for a week and told us to check them at two in the afternoon — the darker boards were griddles and they said so. The lighter line we chose is cool underfoot at the hour we actually use it. A company that talks heat before colour is a company you believe about warranties.
The clause map was the strangest and best part of the handover: the warranty with the parts that matter highlighted and the parts that void it underlined. Ten minutes of reading that has made me the neighbourhood’s composite oracle.
Composite, asked straight
The material questions
The four questions every wood-deck owner asks before switching — answered by a shop that has no other board to sell you.
Doesn’t composite get hot in the sun?
The dark uncapped boards do — griddle-class by two in the afternoon, and we will not sell them for a south-facing yard. The lighter capped and polymer lines shed the day’s heat by early evening. That is why the site visit ends with samples left in your sun and an instruction to check them barefoot.
Why composite only — isn’t wood cheaper?
Day one, by a few dollars a foot; decade one, no. Wood asks the price back in stain, boards and weekends, and composite asks for a hose. A builder selling both has reasons to blur that arithmetic; we have exactly one product and no reason to.
What happens if a board scratches or stains?
The capped lines shrug off the red wine and the grill grease that end wood decks’ best years, and a scratch kit in your board’s colour ships with the folder. A damaged board swaps out with a pull-tool in minutes — one board, not one afternoon.
Why twelve-inch joist centres on composite?
Because the warranty says so — composite spans shorter than wood of the same thickness, and a frame built at sixteen inches is the number-one claim we see denied. We build to the span chart, which costs a few more joists and buys a warranty that actually pays.
