Re: what thickness Trex for steps ?

Text of the message:
Thanks for all the advice folks.  I mocked up two stringers 12" apart
with a 16"
piece of 5/4 Trex on top of it.   It seems to be as solid as a rock.
This is pessimistic
of course, because it's less stable with the ends of the boards beyond
the two test
stringers flapping in the breeze, as it were.  I have two inches of
nose hanging off
in front, except another 5/4 piece jammed up against the bottom so
really only
7/8" of nose. I think I'll back off to 5/8" of nose, just to be extra
careful.  I think the
nose has gotta be what Trex is worried about.  One of their reps also
alluded to
the stuff getting kinda soft in the hot sun, so maybe  if I lived in
Phoenix and had
no shade trees, it could be an issue.
I agree with whoever said the warranty probably ain't worth the
trouble, the way
companies "stand behind" their products these days.  What really
matters is what
