I'll plan everything based on the material I can get. RE: help with deck/patio design - mound - 04-03-2021 Simplified the 6' ends RE: help with deck/patio design - mound - 05-20-2021 Thanks for all the tips! The deck (err, "patio" technically) is done. Framed out as described in the earlier SketchUp drawings, with the simplified blocking at the short ends. RE: help with deck/patio design - Snipe Hunter - 05-21-2021 Turned out great Everything vinyl? RE: help with deck/patio design - MT Woodworker - 05-21-2021 Looks very nice. I like the contrast in colors RE: help with deck/patio design - mound - 05-21-2021 Thanks! The trim boards are PVC, the decking is "Duralife" brand composite, it uses a new and very cool/easy "Step clip" hidden fastener system a friend recommended to me: https://duralifedecking.com/composite-decking/fasteners/step-clip/ |
