I like it. Too bad you couldn't convince them to upgrade to a better material.

The labor is the labor with wood so whether you cut pine or cedar, it doesn't affect the labor costs at all.

Good thing you took a pic now. In a year, that wood is going to look like hell if they don't stay on top of it.

LOL ur telling me, i tried to convince them into better but they are a young couple and really dont give a crap, in fact i think they would destroy a AZEK deck lol, they party like every week that deck had 30 people on it and i wasn't even finished and i couldn't use 2x10's because it was covering the basement windows and doors so 2x8's used, people was jumping up and down i almost fainted lol

How did you attach the ledger to the brick?

That kind of handrail detail might work with ipe, but I would not have done it like that using TP. But what the heck, it's a getto deck.

I don't see anything wrong with it! Not everyone can afford the extra cost of composite. At least you done your best with what you had to work with. Good job.

Nice deck. I like the detail for the edging around the edge. Good workmanship.

Did you use 32 or 36" pickets? FYI, you are supposed to have at least 36" between horizontals, and a max of 4" from top of deck to top of bottom stringer. Otherwise, my compliments!

For those of you not familiar with Toronto, P.T decks are very popular. About 70 % of my decks are PT. One out of 10 is composite and the rest are cedar.
The PT fades, but will last forever.
Last month I replaced a deck I built 26 years ago. The new owners wanted a bigger one, but were fascinated to see a picture of their deck when brand new. It was actually in pretty good shape.
