1st Wood Deck In Years
This is the first wood deck we have done in a couple of years. Cedar for the decking with blind screwing redwood posts, 2x4's with deckorators balusters and cedar top cap. Came out looking cool. I would love to do some more like it.

Re: 1st Wood Deck In Years
Welcome back to the good side Robert. Next time use Ipe, and you might never go back to composites.

Re: 1st Wood Deck In Years
Curiously, Ipe here, is cheaper then all of the popular composites. Installation costs of the ipe, probably bring it on par with the composites, but given a choice, 95% of my customers choose the ipe.

Re: 1st Wood Deck In Years
Ain't it great to smell wood
when the saw is running? Looking good, but better watch out.... Marty will think you're two timing on him.

Re: 1st Wood Deck In Years
That looks like most decks here in Austin, cedar & deckorators.
No wood smells as good as fresh cut cedar. |
