Before and After

The back deck has been deteriorating at an accelerating pace so this springs home improvement project was a complete redo. Despite using treated lumber the wood was split, cracked, and some boards were so rotten it was like walking on a sponge.

Seems like it went pretty fast mostly due to the dry, warm weather we've been having. Decided to go with the latest composite materials to make the new one as maintenance-free as possible. We got the two-tone wood grain Ipe from Fiberon. Came out pretty good...check it out.
