This was my very first project. It was a deck on my old house. Designed and made everything myself.
Made with cedar.

Looks great and I thought it looked like a cantilever also…you should get some enjoyment out of that space.

Not shown under the deck is 9 post planted 42” into the ground. (code for our area) Let me tell you that was fun digging those holes in the clay we have here in IL. Then a used 2×8 pressure treated boards to forum support beams for the 2×6 joices. The decking is Red Cedar.

I used just a basic lightly tinted sealer. It’s darken over the years. We sold the house 2 years ago and moved into a new house. We still go to parties at our old neighbors house. The deck still looks good from what I can see.
