Nice deck!

 

[PG01]

Nice deck!

Thats what she said......lol

Sorry couldnt help myself

Thank you, pretty big 14x28 but pia to maintain....Its beat, sun hits it all day long, the p.t. wood is shot, i was slacking the last couple of years with cleaning/staining and some of the boards are bad....real bad.....would love do a composite type but between the sun beating it and the $ for me to replace the boards plus id have to do railings cuz it would look halfassed and with no time or money at the moment, itll have to wait another year....maybe next spring...

Yep, why do today what you put off till tomorrow or later yet . Beuatiful weather here in NC today!!!

I Hate them Honey doo projects!!

I know what you mean about upkeep on the deck.

Built mine 4 years ago, put a pool in 11 feet from the back of the house, built the deck the full width of the house (26') halfway around it. The pool is a 21' above ground, the deck wraps halfway around both sides, and I have a walkway down the side of the house that is 24'x6'. That's where we make the "buffet line", as I made a 16' long counter out of 3 pieces of decking. I also made a bench up against the fence, also 16' long. And then there's the basketball rim and backboard I built in, overhangs into the pool about 2', but at 9' high......

Then last year, my wife was in NJ with my daughter at a dance competition, and I was walking through Lowes.... and they had a huge stack of cull lumber (ends split/warped/twisted). I bought over $1000 worth of 2x8's and decking for under $250, built another deck about 3/4 of the way around the opposite side, about 8' at the narrowest, by 21' long.

All told, it's almost 750 sq ft. I need to pressure wash it all, and stain it this year.

Hopefully by next year, I can build the outdoor kitchen under the covered patio I am doing off the side of the pool. And off the patio, a nice firepit.


Yes, I am an idiot.
More projects to come too. The neighbors already have a bocce court in their backyard, I need to do something to top them..................... maybe an outdoor bowling alley?
