Deck

 
DECK
 
We have decided to build a large deck out the back of our house. It will span over the alfresco area and approx. 1 metre past the side of the house, approx. 1 metre past the back of the house and along the back of the house to the end of the laundry door. We have decided to use Ecodeck boards for our decking. Although the initial cost of the boards is more expensive that treated pine or even merbu it requires a lot less maintenance over its life time which will be good.

Today we hired a post hole digger and dug holes for all the posts (I cant remember the correct name) for the deck, we then had to cement them into the ground, stupidly we didn't have a cement mixer and did it by hand, 46 X 20kg bags of cement! It was a huge day.

Today a builder came out and help to start us off with the frame for the deck & to get it all level, the rest of the day was spent building the frame.
