Instead, the product is made from thermoset polymers and recycled fly ash from the electric power generation industry. Ideal for decks and fencing, the low-maintenance and fire-resistant product will not rot, support mold or mildew, absorb water, or significantly expand or contract. Cost: $2.50 to $3.40 per linear foot. LifeTime Lumber. 760-603-9100. www.lifetimelumber.com
