I am sure the reason Wildwood Crest chose soft pine for boardwal

Stone Harbor - I am sure the reason Wildwood Crest chose soft pine for boardwalk was cost factor. A 2x6 soft pine plank runs about $1.50 a foot. Composite Trex or equivalent runs $7.50 a foot. Also composite needs a 12” space as opposed to a 16” for wood. Wood has a memory composite doesn’t.
