Nothing screams warm weather like sitting out on the deck. If you’ve been stuck inside, looking at gray skies and swirling snowstorms, you are chomping at the bit to set out the patio furniture, reflower your planters and chill out in the warm sun on the deck.
I remember when I called my dad and said I wanted to change my deck railings. They were old and needed to be taken down. He said, ok what were you thinking? I replied. Well, I was thinking about chicken wire. Then there was silence on the other end of the phone. In this tutorial, I am going to show how to build custom railings using unconventional materials.

Our deck is 30 years old but we can't afford to tear it down and start from scratch. Any ideas would be welcome.
We tried to clean the bushes but the paint, which is quite thick when you apply it, dried and now we can't even chew the paint off. Does anyone have an idea of how to clean these bushes..I hate the thought of throwing them away...Thanks, Marlene
I have a 10'x20' wooden deck behind my house and I want to put up sort of a lean-to type cover for blocking the sun and rain. It needs to be self standing box type frame made of pvc and I want the the edge nearest the house to be a few inches taller for rain run off. I also want to have a rain gutter to catch rain for the garden. It also has to be sturdy and secured to the deck. I have a basic idea of what I want, but any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. Mike
Our deck was installed summer of 2017 using pre-treated lumber. So it is dry and ready to be sealed. I know it has to be power washed and pre-treated before sealing. Looking for the best advice for the sealing/ staining process.
