About the Good Life Collection

The Weekender Collection offers solid, more uniform colours for a traditional stained-deck look, while the Escapes Collection adds multi-tonal variation for a richer, more wood-inspired finish. Good Life boards feature a durable composite core, a protective cap on three sides, and are made with 96% recycled material. The scalloped board design helps keep the line more accessible within the Fiberon decking range.

Fiberon Good Life vs Wood

Fiberon Good Life is often considered by homeowners comparing pressure-treated lumber with a composite option that is priced closer to wood. Wood may have a lower upfront cost in some projects, but Good Life is designed to reduce recurring sanding, staining and painting. Actual lifetime cost depends on lumber species, labour, deck design and long-term maintenance.

Illustrative comparison only; actual costs vary by material, labour and maintenance.

Once we take into account the long term cost, and the maintenance required for all these different types of decking, we can see that composite decking comes out on top. Not only is the long-term cost lower than wood decking, but it is also just less work, meaning you get to spend less time worrying about your deck, and more time enjoying it.

Always verify the latest manufacturer instructions before installation.

A: Use grooved-edge boards for the main deck surface where hidden fasteners are required. For picture framing, stair treads and other surface-fastened areas, use square-edge boards.

Review Fiberon Decking Installation Tips

Boards should be installed at minimum ~1.5″ above the ground, and debris should be cleared for ventilation.
If you install without clips, keep a 3/16″-1/4″ spacing between the boards to allow water to flow off your deck.
Boards should be installed on joists no further than 16′ apart.
- On diagonals and stair treads, joists should be 12′ apart.
Camo Edge or Camo EdgeX clips are recommended by the manufacturer.
- Trex Universal Fasteners and ConceaLoc Clips have been tested to work.
Edge boards should be installed using screws and plugs, or starter clips.
- If using screws, it is highly recommended you use 2 screws per joist.
Install Risers and Fascia using HeadCote Fascia Screws, 2-3 screws are recommended per joist.
- Nails are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Use Joist Tape whenever possible. This will prolong the life of your deck frame, and deck boards.
