Our old deck was falling apart, so I decided to undertake building a new one myself and build it stronger and with a more complex floor pattern because of the money I would save by hiring an outside contractor. The most difficult part was getting the beams set and concreted in level.The other challenge was getting the herringbone pattern laid out and running correctly. I did that because I wanted a pattern rather than the standard 45 or straight decking.I build it out of #1 and #2 pressure treated pine and stained it a cedar color.
Time to Build: 101-300 Hours
Difficulty: Difficult
"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!" -
