Summertime is fence, gate and deck season. When presented the opportunity to enjoy the late summer weather on the shoulder of Mt. Scott with views of Mt. St. Helens, I jumped at it.
I made sure not to jump on the deck though, for fear of falling through in some places. What looked like neglected boards turned out to be rotten supports and poor design.
Fortunately, the fixes were straightforward and the structure was happy to receive new tight knot cedar 2 x 6's. A LOT of lumber as it turns out.
We built the railing out of Cedar as well. It was all sealed up with oil to help it last the wet and cold months.
Now the clients are out on the deck whenever they get the chance.
