New construction

Hi


Here are some photos showing the progression of the construction of my deck.<O:p</O:p

This is following a request in another forum group (timber) where I was looking for some advice on how best to clean up the timber on my new deck before treating.<O:p

I hope I don’t appear too smug but I am pleased with the results todate.<O:p</O:p

I hadn’t planned to write any blurb to explain the photos. Hopefully they speak for themselves. I would be happy to answer any questions if others are contemplating a similar construction. There are a few things I would change but it’s not worth going into the detail unless required.

Hope you enjoy.


Regards
<O:p

I can include more detail but I don't want to overload the tread with too much unless it's warranted.

Hi John,

Looks great!! What sort of timber and finish did you use?

Thanks Anthony

Timber is "Borneo Iron wood" thats what the timber yard sold it as. I don't know what else it might be called. Was a real bugger to put down as every hole (2500 of them) had to be pre drilled and countersunk before screwing. It's very dense, heavy wood, cuts a very pale color but soon goes a redish shade. I assume that its the iron oxidising.

I finnished with Intergrain Dimension 4 then DWD. this took forever and is very temperature and moisture sensitive prior to application.

regards

John
