2. Composite lumber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_lumber

   Working with composite lumber is similar to working with wood. However, composite lumber has the added benefit of being less likely to split or delaminate. Some composite lumber is also engineered to be lighter weight for easier handling. Composite lumber is also more stain, scratch, and mold resistant, and is therefore supposed to have a ...
