Eva-Last bamboo-infused decking — engineered to outlast.

Yes. Eva-Last's bamboo-polymer composite core is engineered for extreme thermal cycling — it handles −40 °C prairie winters and +35 °C summers without the cracking or checking that splits pressure-treated wood. All three tiers (Infinity IS, Apex PLUS, Pioneer) carry dimensional stability ratings verified across multiple freeze-thaw cycles. The 4-sided capping means moisture can't penetrate the board end, which is the primary cause of winter damage in lower-grade composites.

Infinity IS is the Canadian-market version of Eva-Last's Infinity line, featuring an I-beam scalloped board profile and hidden-fastening installation. TUDS stocks Infinity IS, not the older flat-bottom Infinity profile. The 'IS' designation is important: always specify Infinity IS when ordering to ensure you receive the correct board profile and clip compatibility. TUDS staff can confirm stocked SKUs at either location.

Eva-Last is stocked at both TUDS locations — Saskatoon (320 68th Street East) and Regina (141 4th Avenue East). In-stock orders can typically be picked up same-day or next-day for walk-in customers. Delivery to jobsites in the Saskatoon or Regina area is usually available within 1–3 business days depending on order size and schedule. Call us at 306-249-3325 (Saskatoon) or 306-522-3325 (Regina) for confirmed availability and lead times.

Eva-Last doesn't carry the same level of North American marketing spend as Trex, which is the largest composite decking brand by volume. That lower marketing overhead translates to lower board cost without a corresponding reduction in product quality or warranty terms. Eva-Last Apex PLUS, for example, carries a 50-year residential fade and structural warranty — the same warranty category as Trex's top tiers — but typically lands 10–15% lower per linear foot at TUDS Saskatchewan pricing.

Eva-Last offers two warranty tiers for Canadian residential customers: 30 years for Infinity IS (fade and structural), and 50 years for both Apex PLUS and Pioneer (fade and structural). Warranties require installation per the current Eva-Last installation guide, maintenance per the cleaning and care guide, and purchase through an authorized dealer like TUDS. PDF warranty documents are available on this page in the Resources section.

All three Eva-Last tiers use hidden clip fastening — no face-screwing. HULK S-Series clips are the recommended fastener for Infinity IS and Apex PLUS; chain-collated clips are also compatible with Apex PLUS for faster installation on large decks. Pioneer also uses hidden clip fixing. TUDS stocks Eva-Last-compatible HULK fasteners alongside the decking boards — ask us to add them to your material estimate.

Yes. All TUDS-stocked Eva-Last colours are available as physical samples at both showrooms — Saskatoon (306-249-3325) and Regina (306-522-3325). We recommend viewing samples outdoors in natural light before committing, especially for grey and brown tones that can read differently under store lighting. If you want a colour not currently stocked, we can usually source order-to-project quantities — call or email to confirm lead time.

Eva-Last Apex PLUS supports a maximum joist spacing of 500 mm (approximately 19.5 inches) on-centre for standard decking installation. This is wider than many competing composites, which can reduce framing cost on large deck projects. Infinity IS has a tighter spacing requirement — verify with the current installation guide or ask a TUDS advisor. Always confirm joist spacing with the relevant product installation guide before framing.

Yes. All Eva-Last composite decking boards — Infinity IS, Apex PLUS, and Pioneer — are PFAS-free. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are not used in the manufacturing of any Eva-Last tier. This is confirmed in Eva-Last's technical data sheets, which are linked in the Resources section of this page.

All three are reputable composite decking manufacturers with products suitable for Saskatchewan's climate range. The meaningful differences are in core material (Eva-Last uses bamboo-polymer; Trex uses PE film + sawdust; Fiberon uses PVC or PE composites), cap thickness, and pricing. For outright price per linear foot at equivalent warranty levels, Eva-Last Apex PLUS typically comes in lower than Trex Transcend or Fiberon Pro Series at TUDS's Saskatchewan pricing. For a side-by-side estimate on the same deck design, use our estimator or call either showroom.

Yes. Eva-Last boards can be used for stair treads and risers. Specific installation requirements apply — end-cuts must be sealed with an appropriate end-cut paint (TUDS stocks Axxent End-Cut in matching shades), and stair tread overhangs must comply with the current installation guide. Contact TUDS for stair-specific material estimates, as tread quantity calculations differ from flat-deck area calculations.

The Ultimate Deck Shop (TUDS) is a Canadian-owned specialty decking retailer with showrooms in Saskatoon and Regina. We stock Eva-Last as an authorized Platinum Partner — that means we hold inventory, trained installation staff, and direct manufacturer relationships for warranty service. Big-box stores carry limited composite SKUs and rarely have staff who can answer technical questions about joist spacing, clip types, or thermal expansion. TUDS advisors help you build the right material list the first time, which typically costs less than correcting a big-box order mid-project.
