Homeowners Can Take Their Decks from Dream to Done with Updated Trex® Design Tool and Online Deck Planner

WINCHESTER, Va., May 17, 2023 – Always on the cutting edge of outdoor living, Trex Company [NYSE:TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of timber-alternative decking and railing, and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, has upgraded its interactive deck design tool to allow homeowners to plan every detail of their outdoor space, all from the convenience of a laptop.

The revamped Trex^® Deck Design Tool & Online Deck Planner is the brand’s most comprehensive digital planning software to date and is engineered to make the deck planning journey efficient and all-inclusive. In addition to offering 3D renderings using realistic Trex product imagery and collections, the software can help users with budgeting, drafting blueprints for permitting and even generates a shopping list of materials, making it ideal for DIYers as well as those working with professional contractors.

“Today’s homeowners have grown up surrounded by design inspiration from watching programmes on HGTV and scrolling through project images and videos on Instagram. They are more design-savvy than ever and want the option to completely customise their outdoor living spaces,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex. “Our goal is to provide them with the resources and support they need to bring their personalised visions to life.”

The Trex Deck Design Tool allows users to handpick every element of their new deck and compare materials and colours from across the Trex decking portfolio, including the brand’s latest introduction, Trex Transcend® Lineage™. Once they are satisfied with their design, the programme automatically generates a materials list and cost estimate, along with a printable rendering for sharing with family, friends and potential contractors.

“Planning a deck from start to finish is no small task, but our updated Deck Design Tool makes things easier,” noted Adkins. “Our proprietary software was built from the ground up based on more than 30 years of experience as the world’s leading decking brand. The upgraded features and user-friendly interface will make anyone feel like a professional designer. And the shopping list makes it easy to work with your local lumberyard or stockist to order the materials you’ll need bring your dream to reality.”

For those short on time or who prefer to go with a proven design, Trex also offers a library of pre-designed deck plans. Homeowners also can find deck planning checklists, how-to installation videos, material calculators and more on the Trex website. To explore these resources or learn more about Trex, visit Trex.com.
