The main deck materials were re-purposed from a deck that used to be on Brother's house. At the start of his home remodeling project, we cut the 12' x 14' deck up into six sections and stacked them on the trailer and trucked them out to the ranch. Where they sat for about six months.
This weekend we rebuilt the deck by joining them back together and adding support posts on deck blocks as needed due to the elevation change in front of the cabin, which slopes down a few feet. The results are pretty great -- the deck adds an extra 168 square feet of outdoor living space up and out of the dirt. It will also be the footprint for a deck cover that we will build next to finally get some much-needed shade out there.
