Wood Decks Under $25k
First Place
Casey Fence and Deck
Partner: Advantage Lumber
This client had an old, dilapidated wood deck, was adamant about not going composite, and requested Real Ipe. In order to get full length boards and not have a plethora of unsightly butt joints, we created this herringbone basketweave board pattern and dressed it up with a curved front. She wanted the white rails for that contrasting POP, and we used black round balusters to open up the view of the woods out back. the 6×6 rail post sleeves added a nice compliment as did the steel surface mount rail posts and IPE cocktail rail. framed on Critically treated framing set at 12 inches on center to create a substructure that would last as long as the decking.
Wood Decks $26k-$50k
Second Place
Casey Fence and Deck
Partner: Advantage Lumber
This client had a real IPE deck on his previous home but was not pleased with the builder. once he found out we use UC4B .23 Critically treated framing lumber with 2×10 joists set at 12 inches on center, he was immediately comfortable. Then we suggested the black aluminum rails to go with the neighborhood mandated tan fascia, post and beam wrap. to eliminate unsightly butt joints, we created a 2-board center divider. We opted for the oversized, 16-inch fascia to hide the future under deck drain system.
