I have used the remnants for a number of other small projects. They work great for bird feeders.

I have a Trex deck that is about 11 years old. It will go away next year. Good luck with yours. We also were of the no maintenance opinion when we built it. Its a three level deck and beautiful from a distance. The first thing we learned is that they grow mildew like crazy, The slightly rough surface is ideal for things like pollen to adhere to and that feeds the mildew. So unless its changed a lot, be prepared to use a brush and a clorox/TSP mis at least once a year.
