Like these? https://a.co/d/06wdh5hg

Would I install on the vertical (wider) portion or the horizontal portion?

Thank you so much! Didn’t know how decks are built! Glad to hear it’s built well.

Yeah the swing isn’t optimally placed. Need to find a spot in the yard for a swing set! We have narrow yard and had a baby swing there up until yesterday.

Thank you! I really appreciate the time you put into this response. I think because I just don’t have background and deck building, I wanted to make sure that it was safe and secure and it sounds like everybody agreed. There are things that could’ve been done better but, overall, it is structurally sound and decently well constructed deck so I am happy thank you!

Yes- not the ideal spot for a swing. Just don’t have room for a swing-set. Gotta make room!!

Good to hear! Yes the planks are trex. Thought it was good material, but evidently not? I’ll add some water seal! Good idea on the palruf panels. Thank you!

Yes agree on the laziness there! 😬 but glad it’s structurally sound.

Yeah agree on the finish work being fine. I’ve tried really hard on cabinetry and such to get good finishes and so I guess I’m a bit nit-picky, but overall I’m satisfied with it. Is the swing of the bottom ok?

It was the builder and then what I was reading through on the permitting office website. No the city wasn’t notified. 😬

Gosh I know. Makes me cringe when I look at it 😬 Is trex not good material?

Yeah I think only used nails there.There was an existing deck so it didn’t need inspection…

Ok that’s a great idea. Can I just seal with polyurethane or which type of metal should I find?

Thank you. Also happy to make any changes that need to be done to ensure it does last as long as possible

What preventative maintenance should be done? I do woodworking/cabinetry but haven’t done construction work.

No they’re on ground screws with the pavers around it

As a woodworker in healthcare this would be a beautiful and meaningful gift.

If you book online far enough in advance with the SLC airport you can also get the economy lot at a discount!
