My Mum just got new composite decking done. It's a small area - less than 18x12 foot (she just has this small space at the back, no garden as such). It was expensive to get done, but she was told it would be maintenance free. However, what she is really disappointed about is that whenever it rains, large amounts of water gather on it and she is left looking out the window at these pools of water in several spots.
I would really appreciate it if others with composite decking could let me know if this happens their decking too, especially re deeper pools accumulating in random spots? Does it tend to dry out by itself, even in Winter, and how long does that take? Or is it a case of needing to mop it up regularly? Finally, does algae/green stuff tend to build up over time, and is that easily cleaned?
Many thanks for your time.
