composite decking

[Pashenry]

ipe's good stuff but expensive, and not easy to work with

True. Its worth it in certain situations.

If it's a forever home then it lasts a lifetime.

I have a concrete deck that came with my house.

We been supplying posts and shit for them lately, a company here designs and builds the steel panels...pretty pricey stuff but I don't believe the galvanized panels last forever.
If you have lots of money though, stone can look good

Lots of money? Yeah, right. I do like the lack of maintenance of the concrete patio. I like the geometry of the wood (whatever the fuck) deck.

I can get the 5/4 wood delivered. Definitely the easiest and cheapest solution.

I do love me some cheap and easy.

Hi Pete!

I replaced the rotten ones. Do not really need another project at this point but like to have a plan.

Here we have to lay stone over drain able surface, this means it not maintainance free, as weeds grow between the slabs, but it's still very lovely.

We put a stone terrace down in the herb garden two years ago and the original floor from the kitchen, which for complicated reasons is not going back, is hopefully going to be a terrace in the back garden. Again, not maintainance free, but nice looking.

We have some concrete slab path areas, laid before we got here. Very, very ugly. Probably stuck with them in a lot of places. They predate the 'free draining' requirement'

Concrete is maintenance free but does settle and crack. Real wood is my preference as I like to go barefoot on the deck. I am a lazy man and could do without painting and the likes.

Still planning!
