Deck: need ideas/help

Looks like the stuff from lowes would be under $800 for the top material for a 10x20. What kind of framing wood do you guys recommend?

There's a deck supply store over in commerce city. West of Quebec on 74th(???). They sell to the public and help design if you need it. Good prices, my buddy who built decks for awhile bought from there.

Framing needs to be treated and don't forget your permit[rules][sheepshagger]

Looks really nice. How far about did you do your supports/frame. I have head the composite flexes do I need to space them closer

Permit...ha! I'll give me a permit.

I know some people like composites. Look at the trex class action lawsuit. Plus it gets HOT in the sun. I put it in the same class a vinyl siding. If you go looking around, there are some semi exotics that only need oiling every few years. Wood just looks pretty too.

I agree, but honestly when it comes to upkeep I am pretty lazy and don't want to buy stain/sealant and deal with wood. I'm stuck on composite, now it's just a matter of which one and how to frame it.

Haha! Awesome news, Adams county doesn't require a permit for decks 30" of less above ground level. So I'm good to go
