Can I install your wooden deck system over a stamped concrete patio?
Hi Gary,
As long as you have an even surface, yes you can use our deck tile system.
-G. Alves
Hello!
We have an aggregate screened in patio that we loathe. Would your deck tiles work to cover this? Also where do we purchase the tiles at?
Thank you!

Should I use 4 or 6 inch cumaru (about 10ft clearance underneath)?
Use hidden fasteners or top screw?
Live Florida panhandlers. Do not want cupping.
With 10 ft of clearance, you should be fine no matter what you do, but 4 inch boards will resist cupping the best, and I’d suggest using hidden fasteners.
