[QUOTE=jayoldschool;8297162]If it's going to sit outside, go with synthetic. Works great, looks good, zero maintenance. Mine sits out there 365. Summer sun, rain, Canadian winter. No cover. Looks like the day I installed it years ago. It works, too, no issues.

This is TREX facia board.

jay I see you had to rip a center piece for the bed. Also you worked the edges to make room for the strips. I had asked Trex about sawing into their deck boards & they said that was a don't do it.
When you sawed into your fascia boards did you get into a foam center?
How did you handle any prep of the sawn areas?
The Trex site is pretty vague about construction & how to handle of their products
Thanks
