This is the first time I see the negative feedback from people who installed composite decking. I just know that it has more pros than cons. I also have composite decking installed in my living room, but apparently the quality of what I purchased is much better than yours. The only thing I know is that the manufacturers made it out of wood and polyurethane, which makes plastic decking so durable and long-lived. I think you should do on of two things: install another floor or to repair it.

How to fix concrete of my house?

Concrete is a fabulous option for patios, sidewalks, and driveways. But, there can also be issues surrounding it. With the passage of time, holes and cracks may develop on the surface. Not to mention the devastating effects climate change or severe weather conditions can have. The good news is that you don't need to replace the whole surface! Cracks, chips, and holes can easily be fixed by a licensed professional. Even better: there are some things you can do, too, to protect your investments and avoid major concrete repairs. Check the attached link.

Painting Pressure treated wood.

First of all it will need to be power washed well or washed & scrubbed then left to dry well at least over night.

Any good quality deck coating should stick fine to a 10 yo wooden deck.

You should probably thin the first coat a little for better penetration, and let dry thoroughly, sanded if needed then add one or two top coats full strength.

Depending on where you are, you should re coat every 2-4 years.

We were given an 87" stainless steel propane patio heater. Our deck ceiling is 96". Will that be enough clearance?

Had a look at the manual on a BFX750 patio heater and the distance required is 50cm above (18") and 60cm to the side (24"). If its the same type with around 13kw or 44,000BTU/h of power then this is the clearance is needed for air and heat.

I bought a second hand 12' x 12' Camel Patio Screen House. It has no instructions and no picture on the box. I can not work out what goes where!

Here are the Setup Instruction images for your Camel Patio Screen House. It is a maze. Get back to me with email / phone if any problems viewing these.

Cracked deck

I bought a second-hand York Inspiration, and it developed the same problem. Upon dismantling the treadmill, I discovered the deck was cracked in two areas. My solution was to put a section of chipboard over the crack on the underside, securing each section with 12 screws. I used 16mm board. I cannot remember the other dimensions of the board, but it needs to fit between the deck support rails lengthwise, and widthwise between the screw holes for the foot rails. It is best to tape the edges of the boards to ensure they don't shed any debris once fitted.

The Inspiration manual contains an exploded diagram to assist with dismantling the treadmill. If you do not have one, it is available as a PDF on the web.

It's fairly straightforward to dismantle the treadmill.

The only part of any difficulty is the foot rails; once the screws for the foot rails are removed they stay put, as they are stuck down with strong double sided tape. Ease them off gradually. Once you have removed them, mark the front of each with a bit of tape, as the screwholes are not symmetric.
