I'll try and remember to get some close up shots of the decking next time I'm up there.

That deck came out very nice, Brant. It looks like the material we used for Kennedy.

The outside deck we have at Kennedy Meadows, Andy built with Evergrain Decking. They have a website at www.evergrain.com. It comes in 4 colors. He built it last spring and it looks good after it's first winter up there. The temps there vary from about 4*F, in the winter to 98*F, in the summer. The decking is also made of recycled materials with plastic and wood products. As I recall we bought it because of the availablilty of the railing products in the same material. Here are some pictures of it to give you an idea how it looks.

That last pic looks like a perfect ad for a vacation resort!

That's exactly what it is! Our little weekend getaway.

You know what's funny? The only reason he put in the deck was because he got the hot tub for free. Decking is expensive! Plus we had to buy a special heater for propane that would work fast up there.

No major plans for the weekend, Sat & Sun will be for some minor chores, and if the weather is nice wash the cars and hopefully get a nice drive in. I'd also like to get out and do some shooting (photos, not guns ).

Monday is a family picnic/party at my sis-in-law for my nephew's HS graduation.
