I don’t like the idea of maintenance. So a plastic deck is right up my alley. After almost 2 years, it’s finally finished. The first year was spent fighting with the town to get a variance, since we live on a corner. The second year was spent building it. It sure looked a lot smaller on paper than it does in real life! https://www.jpsdomain.org/photos/deck/deck_pics/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.jpsdomain.org/photos/deck/deck_pics/index.html Drilling post holes Post hole & concrete Post holes around the Hot Tub Frame (beams) & 6x6 posts https://www.jpsdomain.org/photos/deck/deck_plans/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.jpsdomain.org/photos/deck/deck_plans/index.html Specifications Total Area 616.25 SQ Ft Live Load (Deck & Stairs) = 60 PSF Footer Depth = 36" Beam Size 2-2x10 Deck Beams Internal Joist Size 2x10 Joist Spacing 12" OC Post Size 4x4 Post Setting On top of footers Decking 1x6 T&G (extruded plastic) Decking Spacing Zero Rail Section Size 4.5’ to 5.5’ varies Rail Cap 1x6 (extruded plastic) Rail Spindles 2x2 (extruded plastic) chamfered Deck Screws Stainless Fascia Size 1/2x8 Hot Tub Access Panel 7'6" x 2'6" to left of tub (tub is actually 7'6" x 7'6") Hot Tub Footer Detached from deck, on gravel & PT 4x4 pad Drawings from 3D Deck
