Fun Deck
Here is a project from earlier this year I thought I would share with you all. Its a cold,rainy day so I thought I might as well spend some time on CT. What do you think ? Any suggestions?

Re: Fun Deck
We use Azek 95% of the time, but on this one we used Timbertech XLM for the main decking and Azek for the Ivory border.

Re: Fun Deck
There are handsome decks and pretty decks. I would say most (90%) are in the handsome category. Yours is very pretty. Nicely done.

Re: Fun Deck
Mac, this is some great craftmanship including the design. You are for sure qualified as a top deck builder.
The deck calls for some great pictures. I would send some low resolution pictures to Timbertech (make sure you put a watermark or logo in the picture for right now) and ask if they are interested. I'm sure they are.If you do shoot than come out either early morning or late evening otherwise you will have to much contrast. Shoot in RAW if possible and dress up the table with a glass of wine, some plates etc. Use a tripod or something stable and use a higher aperture to keep everything as sharp as much as possible.

Re: Fun DeckQuote:
I do have a suggestion. Send your best picture of the finished job to Tiger Claw. monicam@deckfastener.com They post deck of the month on their website but more importantly they pay one builder $1000 bucks for deck of the year. Beautiful job. |

Re: Fun Deck
I by no means am a DT guru but I thought you guys might want to see my design before it was built. When I designed this I didnt know how to show the pergola.

Re: Fun Deck
Here is a sample of a deck with a pergola. If you need a few let me know. As you know I have a complete assortiment of windows and doors with the magic glass, I created a while back.(not seen in your design) I can e-mail them if you need them.
