We have a few properties that will be taking care of our retirement so not worried about 15-30k. We need the hot tub since we became swingers after hanging with Hulk.
built mine 2 years ago. 2nd story deck, 15 x 13.5 fire away with questions. First tip, don't do Chevron design decking. probably doubled the time of the project and is a bit of a pain
This isn't the house we are going to retire in so we are not going with trex. Thoughts on redwood/pine/treated etc.
At the same time, or one after the other?
Wood? Bah!never really measured, but it's alotta wood
hmm, no regrets i can think of. I know i was focusing a ton on the size and wanting to keep make it bigger. But i live in the city, and the size i have is plenty sufficient. I think there is something to the idea that you can build a deck too big, so bigger isn't always better is what i guess i learned that i wasn't thinking before i built it.
That's what people say when they've never sat on a really big deck. You plop down on a really big deck, you'll never want to sit on a small one again.
Did you use protection?
Good advice here. You want to go with a silicone or water based sealer, never anything oil-based. Those can break down the protection within a matter of minutes, especially if there's any friction involved.
