Trex Deck	Deck	Deck
Deck	Patio	Porch

The old deck had so many problems that the homeowners were afraid to walk on it. It sagged in the middle due. The deck was added on to by the previous owner. This created a sag in the center. There were no footings for the support posts. The railing posts had rotted. It was clear that the time to bring out the chainsaw had come. The deck was completely removed.

The new deck is constructed of ACQ pressure treated lumber for the frame. Two 2x10 beams support the structure and are anchored into six 12x36" piers. All visible surfaces of the deck are constructed of Trex "Accents". A two toned effect was created using Saddle and Woodland Brown. Since the neighboring deck was so close, a partial lattice screen was installed. This allows the homeowner to use climbing plants that will create additional privacy.
