Two years in the making, the 24 x24 deck @ Tz residence is near completion. Just stereo speakers on the outer posts, and the doors in cabinet beneath the italian tiled bar need to be added.
The new composite decking materials add time to deck projects. Each opaque stained pressure treat board had to be painted neatly and separate from decking. This adds tons of time because you usually just sloppily broadcast stain onto the decking and substructures. The composite decking is approx. 2x the price of pressure treat decking and requires special (expensive) screws. With 16 concrete piers and over construction, she’s solid as Gibraltar. Lori’s herb garden to be added to ground in front of deck stairs. Vegetable garden (picture: late Fall) in the background.
