Home Owners: Porch and Patio

very cool, now I need a house.

They are aluminum tubes powdercoated black. Lowes and Home Depot sell them for about the same price ~$20 for a box of 10, but different brands. Lowes carries Dekorators ballusters and Home Depot has Stiles, which is a brand I have never heard of. You can either drill holes for the ballusters to fit into or they have bags of the plastic “mounts” that you just screw into place and the tube slides over it. I drilled the holes because i wanted the railings be 36" from the decking.

holy sh*t thats is a really nice job. :bigclap:

nice work, having built a few decks w/ my dad in pervious houses I know how much effort is involved but how rewarding it can be :slight_smile:

I can’t wait to throw up on this deck

wow… nice job

lol, you had your chance. i ended up knocking a candle over that nite and getting wax every where :frowning:

Nice. Really nice.

looks real good man :tup:

all of these deck posts make me want to build a deck but we already have a nice three season room in the back… would be stupid to take that out as it is like 4 years old :frowning:

I like your choice for the fence/railing, totally sets it off :tup: :tup:

Nice job dude; can I ask how much the Deck/materials cost you?

The railings are really nice, great work

:tup:

Thanks.

Total Cost was around $1300-1350, but i saved around $170 with coupons. So the actual total was closer to $1200.

I used a TON of coupons. I made copies of all the coupons I had for Lowes that were just print outs. Then used them at both Lowes and Home Depot. I went back and forth to both places a lot. Lowes and HD have pretty similar pricing so it didn’t matter where i went. The color of each places PT lumber was different though.

I actually went to both places before buying anything and got all the prices for everything I needed. Then based on the different size decks I had drawn up I made a rough estimate of the cost.

~edit: the smaller section is roughly 8’x9’ and the bigger section is 10’x12’.

info on the lights

looks nice

amazon is the only place i have seen these things besides the one night that woot had them.

I’m hoping that they will be included in the next woot off so i can buy more.

:tup:

Jay when did you turn into such a DIY home nerd?
Wanna do some shit at my house for extra cash? I’m lazy.

Looks nice! It’s nice to see you have a mini dozer around the house for removing concrete.

X…

HA, i just come up with ideas and design the shit. My father eats this stuff up.
