Yeah , I'ts been a 2 yr rebuild. 25yrs ago I built it using Cedar wood for all the decking, band boards and railing system. Thought it would last forever......Wrong.... It's on the north side of my house and only gets sun about 4 hrs a day, So.. It rotted away eventually. 6 levels of deck, probably around 1500 sq ft of decking. So.. I got some young bucks to help tear down all the old railing system an pull all the deck boards and twist nails . The super structure was fine as I really over built it. So I went with #1 pressure treated on the surface instead of composite, because I would have had to add joists for that. I did use a Vinyl Rail system this time tho. I'll be DEAD before it needs another rebuild, I think.:rofl:
