Trex decking

I've heard all sorts of things on this forum regarding decking materilas for rooftops, but from what I understand, wooden roof decks can only cover 20-33% of the roof.

If I used Trex, is this considered non-flammable? Could I got wall to wall? Is Trex signaficantly heavier than Ipe, for instance?

deck for courtyard

our coop has a big concrete courtyard that I would like to fill in with Trex decking. I was planning on just laying down some strips of the Trex as the undercarriage. But to avoid having the deck rise up too high and get interfere with door swings, etc.. I am thinking of just laying the undercarriage strips flat-side down. This would mean there would be about an inch of space under the deck. Is this okay in terms of ventilation?
