Homeowners Can Take Their Decks From Dream to Done With the Updated Trex Deck Design Tool & Online Deck Planner

Comprehensive, User-Friendly Software Expands Ability to Visualize and Curate a Deck Design

WINCHESTER, Va., May 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Always on the cutting edge of outdoor living, Trex Company [NYSE:TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, has upgraded its interactive deck design tool to allow homeowners to plan every detail of their outdoor space, all from the convenience of a laptop.

The revamped Trex Deck Design Tool & Online Deck Planner is the brand’s most comprehensive digital planning software to date and is engineered to make the deck planning journey efficient and all-inclusive. In addition to offering 3D renderings using realistic Trex product imagery and collections, the software can help users with budgeting, drafting blueprints for permitting and even generates a shopping list of materials, making it ideal for DIYers as well as those working with professional contractors.

“Today’s homeowners have grown up surrounded by design inspiration from watching programs on HGTV and scrolling through project images and videos on Instagram. They are more design-savvy than ever and want the option to completely customize their outdoor living spaces,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex. “Our goal is to provide them with the resources and support they need to bring their personalized visions to life.”

Free to use and compatible with most web browsers, the Trex Deck Design Tool expands on other Trex resources, such as the Trex AR Deck Visualizer and Deck Starter, to help walk users confidently through the deck design process. The updated technology provides advanced design options for personalization, including new features such as:

• Versatile Deck Shapes – Say goodbye to limiting your deck to a simple square or rectangular layout! With Trex’s updated software, users can explore L-shapes and T-shapes, create bump-outs and cut corners, while also integrating existing structures like walls and housing.
• Virtual Sides – This key upgrade allows for the addition of structural elements such as walls, stairs and railing for added dimension and a more seamless, realistic design.
• High-level Dimension Control – Programmed for high-level accuracy and precision, the software affords users finite control over dimensions and sizing. Projects can also be measured by section – such as the main deck vs. alternate levels, as well as bump-outs and cut corners – allowing homeowners to obtain more accurate expectations of costs and material needs as they design.
