Project Information

This was my first big project for our new house. I had a couple of deck building books and the use of the internet to get me through it. It took me much longer than expected, but I learned a lot and picked up a lot of new skills.

I designed it to have an eating area and then an area to have a fire pit. With it being so low to the ground I was able to do the bench planters as well around the fire pit. I had to stop a lot and think and redesign as I ran into problems. I think the lattice was by far my least favorite part… I still need to stain it this spring as well.

Although it isn't fine wood working I was proud of this as my first design and large scale project. I hope my engineering holds up as well!

Thanks for looking

Looks like you did a good job from the looks of your photos. I see you have a gas grill up there on the deck. I had a Weber Gas grill on my deck and it was way too close to my vinyl siding and melted some of the siding.It didn't take much heat to do that!!
I have those same speaker! Looks like you have everyting you need!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing!
