Jordan
Deck
The current deck has
reached it's life cycle being 20 some years old and it's
time for a new and bigger deck. The current existing size of
this deck is 14' x 16'. On this project, I'll be lowering
the deck to ground level thus eliminating the need for a
railing as requested by the customer. I'll also be increasing
the size of the deck to 15' x 21'. I've also design the deck
to have a diagonal pattern. And with a decking piece
running down the middle [front to back], this eliminates any "butt joints"
thus giving the deck a clean crisp look.
A signature
feature to all the decks I build, is installing perimeter ribbon along
the edges. This eliminates the view of all end cuts and
gives the the deck the "picture framed appearance."
