    Check out Tek Dek - this is a pvc faux teak - it comes in strips which
are tongue and groove - they are edge glued together - it is then set in a
flexable epoxy .

   My friend in UK had it installed on the rear deck of his Cruiser - I was
most impressed with it . Good grip both wet and dry . Easy to take care of -
wash it off with a hose . It looked great . I visited the factory where
their entry stoop had a panel at the door - down there 3 yrs with very
little if any ware .. Check out their web site .

   There is another brand Flexi Teak which is made in Norway - it is about
30 % more expensive and the grip strips on the underside are straight not
dovetails as are the Tek Dek .

    I should declare that I am trying to secure the import rights to this
product -- but have not achieved success with the effort as of yet - so
have no financial interest in the product at present . . They had another
supplier in Fla who apparently has dropped the ball ... so currently it is
only available by factory order ... tell them Ken sent you along .

  Check it out
