Multifamily housing accounted for 16 percent of total residential composite and plastic lumber demand in 2008. The overall size of the multifamily composite and plastic lumber market is limited by a number of factors, including lower levels of new construction and a relatively small housing stock in comparison to single-family homes. Additionally, multifamily housing demand is restrained by the relatively low incidence of decks and fences in these types of residences. However, many build- ers and property owners will install such amenities as decks, outdoor living spaces, childrens’ play areas, and porches and patios in an attempt to attract tenants. These structures will often be built out of composite or plastic lumber to reduce long-term maintenance and repair costs.
