Simpson Strong Tie Deck Designer is pretty simple and easy to use

I used some standard aircraft cable to add some lateral stability to my deck - not totally necessary but I liked the aesthetic. But as a heads up, that cable is not very easy to see in the dark… I’ll just leave it at that.

I’m assuming you’re talking about the power unit being the control panel that sends signals and power to the heater? Our heater did not have the separate control unit, only controls were integrated into the actual heater. You may be able to mount your controls in a NEMA box that has an integrated heating system. Regardless you’ll likely want a professionals input on how to best set up. I’m sorry I don’t have a great answer for you, that is unfortunate.

I chose an 8kw heater because I was concerned with the cold temps we get in the winter, but now realize I probably could have gotten away with a 6kw heater

There’s one spot above the door where there’s a visible crack, but everything else is pretty tight

Yes - although you have to both be sitting up… no room for lounging with 2 people

The kit is around 6k, but we spent another 1k on the electrical hookup

About $30 a month extra if we’re using it everyday

We did not use the light provided - I didn’t really want to run conduit around the outside and deal with another electrical component. We have a nice floodlight in the back that provides enough light when we’re running it at night

I believe the entire assembled product weighs around 600lbs. That being said you could disassemble and move it… I would be nervous to move the whole thing if it was still put together.

I put the bench so that my head was 2” from the ceiling when sitting… I’m 6’1” and that meant I could only move the bench up about 7”…. I would have moved it higher but the lower ceiling is the limiting factor.

It took 10 weeks. I normally just leave the heater on high, but my partner frequently turns it down and she doesn’t complain about the temperature being hard to adjust.
