Project Ideas
Business
Designer Sample Packs for Clients
As a small contractor or deck designer, assemble curated sample packs (several 1-ft boards in different colors/finishes and mounting examples) to bring to client meetings. Include a mini swatch booklet, installation notes about hidden fasteners, and a simple maintenance card leveraging the 25-year warranty. Charge a refundable sample fee or include packs as part of a paid consultation to improve conversion rates.
Micro-Products Line (Coasters, Trays, Signage)
Launch a small product line of outdoor-friendly goods made from composite samples: coasters, small plant risers, address plaques, or welcome signs. Emphasize durability, low maintenance, and faux-wood aesthetics. These items require minimal material, can be sold online or at farmer's markets, and make strong gift items for customers who need outdoor-rated decor.
Branded Marketing Samples & Trade Show Giveaways
Turn the sample into a marketing piece: engrave or apply a branded label and a QR code linking to your portfolio or scheduling page, then distribute at trade shows, open houses, or supplier events. The tactile sample demonstrates product feel and durability better than a brochure and can be a memorable leave-behind that drives leads.
Hands-On Workshops & DIY Classes
Host paid workshops teaching homeowners to make small projects (planter boxes, benches, wall art) using composite samples. Provide tools, safety instruction, and materials. Workshops create a revenue stream, expose attendees to composite decking benefits (leading to larger installs), and let you upsell full-size materials or installation services.

Mini Balcony Planter Boxes
Use the 1 ft composite boards to build small, weatherproof planter boxes sized to fit railings or narrow balconies. The boards' UltraShield coating resists moisture and staining, so the boxes stay attractive year-round. Use the grooved edges and hidden-fastener approach to join panels for clean seams, line the interior with a pond liner, and add drainage holes. Ideal for herbs, succulents, or seasonal flowers—compact, lightweight, and durable.
Geometric Wall Art Panel
Cut the sample into different widths and angles to create a modern geometric wall panel in Hawaiian Charcoal. The realistic wood look and tough outer shell give a refined, maintenance-free finish. Mount the pieces on a lightweight backing board with concealed clips or the hidden fastener grooves for a floating effect. Weather-resistant so it can also be displayed on covered porches or patios.
Outdoor Serving Tray / Tiled Inlay
Make a small, durable serving tray or centerpiece by using the board as the base and inlaying accent strips (leftover grooved pieces or contrasting composite) to form a decorative pattern. Add metal or composite handles and a sealed underside to prevent water intrusion. The UltraShield surface is easy to clean after outdoor use and resists scratches from dishes and utensils.
Tiered Plant Stand / Step Accent
Stack multiple sample boards as shelves to build a compact tiered plant stand or a single-step accent for porches. Use the grooved edges to hide fasteners between tiers for a seamless look. The composite material stands up to sun and rain, so plants and pots can be displayed outside without rapid wear.
