Six wood-tone colors—classic gray, cedar, redwood and walnut, and two rich, tropical colors, adobe and Koa—make a lasting impression that doesn’t require painting or staining.
Choosing your style is easy, thanks to Latitudes Intrepid reversible boards. One side has a wood-grain surface, while the 
other reveals a smooth, brushed surface. Our Capricorn tropical ultra low maintenance deck boards provide a smooth, wood-grain surface on both sides.

Composite decking such as Latitudes Intrepid™ composite decking (5/4X6) is intended for use on residential applications like decks, porches and residential docks. If the bridge you are are building is
just a walk way with no motorized traffic, Latitudes
® wood plastic composite decking is a great choice. Make sure all the structural elements of the foot bridge are designed properly to support the decking with 12-inch or 16-inch on-center joist spacing as specified in the
Latitudes installation instructions.
For heavy or commercial traffic, consider using Latitudes
Marine composite decking as it is thicker and is designed for wider joist spans up to 24 inches on center. Latitudes Marine decking is perfect for boardwalk decking and marina dock planks. Latitudes Marine composite decking also comes with a
10-year commercial warranty.
If you're thinking about having a new dock built or are about to replace an existing dock, then consider two popular types of decking material—natural lumber decking and composite lumber decking. Each type of dock / deck building material has it's own unique benefits, and each has passed the test of time in unforgiving elements.
Natural Lumber Decking
Pressure-treated wood decking is a great option for a tighter budget. The classic look of wood gives a more rustic feel, and can be stained or painted to match virtually any color scheme. Pressure-treated decking can be notched for installation of hidden deck fasteners for a clean, fastener-free appearance.
Tropical hardwood has a highly desired exotic look and is very durable. Hardwood species like Ipe have been known to last over twenty years. Tropical decking like Abaco can span greater distances to accommodate wide 24" on center joist spacing. Some hardwood decking comes pre-grooved for use with a hidden fastener system.
Composite Lumber Decking
Composite decking is manufactured from wood fiber and 
plastic to form a plank that requires less maintenance and typically has a longer lifespan than natural wood decking. Composite lumber is similar in cost to tropical hardwood and has many of the same benefits. Like tropical hardwood, Latitudes Marine composite decking allows for long 24" on-center joist spans. Latitudes Marine also incorporates a profiled edge specifically designed for docks, boardwalks and walkways. Additional benefits of composite lumber decking is that it's barefoot friendly, slip-resistant and comes in a variety of colors that never need to be sealed or stained.
