Planning deck..any lessons learned to share

[linen]

would it be too much to ask if you to get a picture of that area from below

I second this...very interesting.

I'll try that tomorrow... I forget exactly how it was framed up to the edge, but remember I thought it looked pretty good. They did mickey some wood pieces around the front edge between the support rails to attach the face trim to. The only thing was he used some type of nail on that, but it definitely needed to be screwed in.

I have a 'more to love' type of figure... and it seems to be very solid under foot, and other parts.

Well... the rains of Irene have already started here in the Philadelphia area so there will be no pictures today. Sorry.

I built a deck around my 28 ft doughboy and connected to my existing deck. The material on the addition is composite. I was told that chlorinated pool water would degrade pressure treated wood a little faster. they also commented that splinters would be a problem. I had a post of my deck early summer. I have some pics. PM me your email address and I can send pics if you like.

Irene is almost here so I cannot take updated pics.
