Fastening system was Headcote 2 1/4" brown trim head screws.

The deck that we replaced was 2x6 redwood over 3/4" redwood sleepers. The sleepers and some of the deck were rotted out. At least one water leak from nails penetrating the roof.

We replaced the deck with 4/4 ipe, over 2x4 PT D.F. sleepers. We torched on another layer to the roof, on a day that was around 105 degrees. I cut the sleepers and layed them on the roof and the next day, they couldn't be moved.

Great looking deck, clean and tight!
I like the look of the stain/sealer. I tell my clients if you want your deck to have a consistent look go with one of the upline composite products otherwise you will have color and grain variations.

Anyone want hazard a guess on material costs for 2 of these doors? They are approx. 8' wide x 7' high. All redwood. Frame is 3x6, inlay is 1x6 T&G. Window openings are 3x3's with redwood 1/4 round.

After that, guess what the hardware cost. 18' of double track, rollers, 4 recessed handles, lock and floor guide.

A grand?

VERY nice work.

I think i'd make everyone take their shoes off before stepping on that deck. :laughing:

...and I wouldn't allow them to hold anything in their hands (IE: beer bottle) that could potentially fall and dent/scratch that gorgeous decking.

:no:
