Our Deck Projects
My wife and I decided to go with wood
decking instead of using pavers or concrete slabs for our "Outdoor
Living Area". We felt the wood was easier to work with, could be
done in sections and I have some experience with woodworking.
Many of my friends have
volunteered materials, time, sweat, blood and resources to help us
accomplish our goal of creating a place to get away from the stress of
the day and relax. My wife loves the sun so the first deck we
built is 16' x 14" and has no cover. Now I like the sun, but enough is
enough :)
The access deck was
build after we installed our pool, it gave us a safe place to enter
and exit the pool. It also would serve as the splash deck for the pool
surround deck that we add to it at a later date.
The next project was
to fill in the grass area between my original deck and the pool,
joining the sections together gave us plenty of extra area to work
with. This also opened up the flow of the existing deck, removing a
closed in feeling we got from the main deck.
