Decking

Over the last couple of weeks we have been laying the decking for the rear covered deck. We chose tight-knot western red cedar, that came pre-stained in "Dark Walnut" from Lakeside Lumber. The pre-staining saved us loads of time and also does a better job protecting the wood as it was applied to all sides. We are installing it with the Deckmaster hidden fastener system. It involves twice the number of screws, but there are no visible fasteners from the top, and they won't loosen up over time like other systems will when used with wood (as opposed to composites).
