Outdoor Living

Incredible symmetry and geometry! I absolutely love this. Great job!!

-- Chip, Massachusetts

That is a gorgeous deck. You added lots of amenities and extras to it that make it a nice outdoor living area. And, if your girlfriend liked it, that is all that counts.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

This is absolutely beautiful decks of exclusively cozy design!
Great work!

Very nice and welcome to Lumberjocks!

-- A hammer dangling from a wall will bang and sound like work when the wind blows the right way.

Great job. Nice lines. Must be time for a spa party!!

-- Doug, New Mexico.......the only stupid question is one that is never asked!........don't fix it, if it ain't broke!

One of the nices decks I’ve ever seen!

Great job. I want one!

That thing is huge! Are those satellite photos?

Great work and good balance of open space and gathering areas.

Great job and really nice lines. Very impressive! Love the hot tub being sunk and flush with the deck. We are doing something similar in our yard, however were digging a hole first then making a troft so to speak and lowering the tub into the ground leaving about 18 inches above ground then putting ledge stone around it. One question on the pergola on over the hot tub is that normal spacing or is that what she wanted. I would have thought there would be more slats closer together…. Again Awsome work….....

-- Ken, "Everyday above ground is a good day!"

The spacing on the pergola slats was based on the idea that we didn’t want to completely obstruct the view of the sky because we like to see the stars… and it was all the lumber I had when I built it.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments.

Wow beautiful deck.I love it.

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

very cool deck

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I do believe that is the nicest deck I have ever seen. To say well done is an understatement. Did you design this yourself? Irregardless, wonderful work and of course welcome to LJ.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Nice work… My favorite home designs include lots of angles… great work on adding the privacy for the hot tub, seating, etc…
This is one of the nicest decks I have seen… looking forward to seeing what else you are capable of…

Awesome looking deck! Nice job.

-- Tim, Myrtle Beach, DrTim@ONeillChiro.com- Guys DO like shopping, as long as it's for tools! :)

You should be proud…

Hi, I am Rob’s wife and I am begging him to build this off the back of our house! It is absolutely gorgeous. We have french doors that open to absolutely nothing at present and this would just fit the bill. Really, really NICE!!

-- rob

very nice…i could see myself sipping a cold one on that deck a lot!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

This is probably the best design and build I’ve seen for a deck. Totally awesome.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

Very impressive! Would love to have something like that in my back yard…........

-- Dean

Thanks again for all the nice comments!

wow, what a deck! What’s not to like?? Impressive design.

after looking again at those pics, it looks like your g’friends neighbors need to hire you to do their deck!

Very nice work! I really like the way you did the benches. I see the bar and I gotta be honest….. I only live right around the corner, so I’m kinda hurt that you haven’t had me over for a ginger ale.

-- Cheers and God Bless
