I have been renovating our deck this past summer, a project that began in earnest in early June, when I put in an order for Azek Island Oak decking. No problem. Was told 3-4 days, which has been the norm for delivery of a color that is not a stock item. Then the call came that it would be 3-4 weeks... Corona virus blah blah. OK. Then a call in mid/late July that it would be 3-4 months!... It arrived in early September, which is when I realized my original order was a "rough estimate" and I would be short by five boards if I wanted to do the last 18" and my stairs. So we ordered them. Was told my delivery date would be mid November! OK Not happy but will deal with it. I mean the deck is basically done, railings, underside trimmed with vertical 1x6 pvc trimboards, complete with access door... All except the last 18" and the stair treads.
And yesterday I was informed that Azek has announced (earluier than in the past) that the Island Oak decking will be DISCONTINUED for the 2021 season and the last deliveries have been scheduled for no later than November 30. In other words, they are not going to make anymore and I have to find it elsewhere... WTF?
So if your local lumberyard carries Azek, I would appreciate hearing if they have any Island Oak deck boards. I am looking for 2/20' (or 4/10') grooved boards and three 16'square edged boards.
Thank you for asking.
