My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Hi all - Back in March, a local gent built this lovely deck with TT. I had wanted to share some photos, since there are so few out there. It's been up for about 2 months now and I'm glad that I went with this material. Excuse the dirt; it's a little dirty, since my dogs were running across it with dirty paws!
Wow, what a beautiful deck!! I am just about to order the TT Earthwood in walnut. Have you had any issues with scratches with the dogs? Thank you for posting your pictures.
The dogs rough-house on the deck. There are scratches here and there , but nothing that really sticks out (no deep gouges). With that said, in my research, I figured ALL composites would scratch, so why not get the composite that really appealed to me the most.
Actually, the worse part of this deck is that it shows dirt! In the yard, I had a tree removed, plus with the deck being built, there was a lot of mud in the yard. This was tracked on the deck by the dogs. With the dark walnut, it shows. Probably with the teak, it wouldn't even be noticeable. I choose the walnut over the teak though because of the fade factor. Even knowing what I know now, I'd still go with the TT Walnut.
BTW, I've gotten quite a few queries when folks first see it, if it's real wood. Then they bend over and get a closer look. :-)
Oh and it's really, really nice to walk out and not have to worry about splinters!
One thing you might want to install some metal clips on the joists/beam conection its a small thing but it really helps in a high wind far as the uplift goes. J.
