How to use
PRO Legacy (default, mid-tier hardwood-streak composite, 30-yr structural). Compare against PRO Reserve (premium multi-tonal cap) and EDGE Prime+ (value entry, Lowe's stocked). For AZEK PVC instead, use the AZEK Deck Calculator.
Four colors built around the streaked-hardwood aesthetic — Mocha (warm dark brown), Tigerwood (signature amber-brown with deep streaking that mimics genuine Tigerwood IPE), Espresso (near-black, gets HOT in sun), Ashwood (cool weathered gray). Tigerwood is the visual highlight — it's the most realistic tropical-hardwood-look composite on the market.
Length × width in feet. Pattern: parallel (7% waste, 1.0× labor), picture-frame (12%, 1.18×), diagonal 45° (15%, 1.12×). Calculator quantizes board count using TimberTech's stocked 12/16/20 ft.
CONCEALoc hidden-clip is the default — 90 clips/box, $85/box, ~50 sqft coverage at 16″ joist on-center. Cortex (color-matched plug system, 50/pack, $38/pack) is the face-screw alternative.
Premier Aluminum ($175/lf, slimmest sightline), Reserve Composite ($90/lf, color-matched), or Builder Composite ($55/lf, value tier).
AZEK Drink Rail ($45/lf top-mount shelf) and TimberTech Lighting (post-cap + riser LED kit + 100W transformer + low-voltage wiring) are toggles.

Material guide
TimberTech Legacy is a capped composite board. Composite lands in the sweet spot for most homeowners — wash-only upkeep at a mid-range upfront. See where it beats pressure-treated wood and where premium PVC pulls ahead, then recalculate on any line above.
How we calculate
The TimberTech PRO Legacy Calculator is the composite-mid-tier deep-cut for homeowners who want the streaked-tropical-hardwood look without the IPE price tag. Legacy is TimberTech's mid-tier capped composite — 30-yr structural + 30-yr fade & stain warranty, dramatic wood-grain cap with prominent streaking. The signature color is Tigerwood (rich amber-brown with deep streaks that mimic genuine tropical Tigerwood lumber); the line also includes Mocha (warm dark brown), Espresso (near-black), and Ashwood (cool gray). At $4.80/lf retail, Legacy is roughly $0.70/lf cheaper than PRO Reserve and $0.70/lf more than EDGE Prime+. This calc covers the full TimberTech composite tier — Legacy as the focus plus Reserve and EDGE Prime+ for side-by-side comparison. CONCEALoc box count, optional accessories, 3-line composite auto-compare. 2026-Q1 retail.
Verify against the published source: 2021 International Residential Code (ICC).
Per-LF retail prices reflect 2026-Q1 TimberTech composite pricing at Lowe's Pro + TimberTech AZEK Pro dealer channel. CONCEALoc + Cortex specs from TimberTech install manuals. 30-yr structural + 30-yr fade & stain warranty per TimberTech PRO Legacy published terms.
Rows = ceil(width × 12 ÷ (5.5 + 0.125)). Waste % is pattern-driven.
Each CONCEALoc box ships 90 clips and covers ~50 sqft at 16″ joist on-center.
TimberTech PRO Legacy in Tigerwood color costs roughly half what genuine IPE hardwood costs installed. Both deliver the streaked-tropical aesthetic; Legacy adds 30-yr warranty + no annual oiling. Run the IPE Deck Cost Calculator for the parallel estimate.
Composite installs are 25% slower than face-screwed PT. Pattern + shape multipliers compound.
Within the TimberTech composite tier, Reserve is the premium, Legacy is the hardwood-streak mid, EDGE Prime+ is the value entry. All carry 30-yr structural except EDGE Prime+ (25-yr).

Legacy is TimberTech's mid-tier capped composite ($4.80/lf retail), focused on the streaked-tropical-hardwood aesthetic. Reserve is the premium-tier composite ($5.50/lf), focused on the multi-tonal natural-variation aesthetic. Both carry the same 30-yr structural + 30-yr fade & stain warranty. The visual difference: Legacy's Tigerwood color is the most realistic tropical-hardwood mimic on the market (deep amber-brown streaking), while Reserve's Antique Leather + Pecan are warm uniform multi-tonals. Pick Legacy when you want the IPE-look at half the IPE price; pick Reserve when you want a uniform premium look.
It's the closest mass-produced composite mimic available. The Legacy Tigerwood cap is grain-printed with deep amber and dark-brown streaks running parallel to the board length, which is the visual signature of genuine Tigerwood (Goncalo Alves) tropical hardwood. Side-by-side at 10 ft you can tell the difference; at 30 ft you usually can't. The trade-off: real Tigerwood lumber needs annual Penofin oil to keep its color; composite Tigerwood holds its color for 25+ years under the 30-yr fade & stain warranty.
$42-72 per square foot installed depending on color + pattern + complexity. A 16×20 (320 sqft) Legacy deck in Tigerwood with Reserve Composite railing and 4 stairs lands around $20,500 nationally; the same deck with Premier Aluminum railing and Drink Rail lands around $28,500. Multiply by ~0.92× South or ~1.28× West Coast.
If you want the Tigerwood-look color, yes — EDGE Prime+ doesn't carry a comparable streaked-tropical color (its palette is solid mid-tones). The materials premium is about $0.70/lf (Legacy $4.80 vs EDGE Prime+ $4.10), which on a 320 sqft deck is roughly $225 in materials. Legacy also has a 5-year-longer structural warranty (30-yr vs EDGE's 25-yr). For the value-tier solid-color look, EDGE is fine; for the hardwood look, step up to Legacy.
TimberTech's hidden-fastener clip system. Each box has 90 clips and covers ~50 sqft at 16″ joist on-center. Box price is $85; loose clips $1.15 each. The clip nests into the board's edge groove and screws into the joist, leaving a clean screw-free surface.
Yes — Legacy in Tigerwood is the closest mass-produced composite to genuine IPE hardwood. Cost is roughly half of installed IPE ($42-72/sqft vs $85-115/sqft for IPE). Maintenance is 1/10th the work — no annual oiling required. Warranty is 30 years vs IPE's 0-year mfg warranty (IPE lasts 30-40 years naturally but no warranty). The trade-off: Legacy is still composite (not real hardwood), so on close inspection a designer will tell the difference.
TimberTech PRO Legacy carries a 30-year limited residential structural warranty AND a 30-year limited residential fade & stain warranty. Transferable to a future homeowner one-time at no charge. Register at timbertech.com/warranty within 30 days of install. Matches Reserve's warranty terms.
Three channels: Lowe's stocks core Legacy colors including Tigerwood; Lowe's Pro Desk does full Legacy palette special-order; TimberTech AZEK Pro Dealers (timbertech.com/find-a-pro) carry complete palette + Premier Aluminum railing.
Yes — Espresso is Legacy's darkest color (heat rating 1), measures 165-175°F surface in 90°F full sun. Uncomfortable barefoot. For dark deck looks in hot climates, switch to Trex Transcend Lineage Carmel (heat-mitigation cap, runs 35°F cooler) or AZEK Vintage Dark Hickory (PVC with CoolColor tech).
Once you set length × width + pattern + fastener + stairs, the calculator prices the exact same deck across all 3 TimberTech composite lines (Reserve, Legacy, EDGE Prime+) using each line's per-LF retail. Side-by-side total range + per-sqft. AZEK PVC is in a separate calc (AZEK Deck Calculator).
