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.

translucent decking material

7 years ago

we are building a small deck overshadowing downstairs bedrooms and one of my main worries is that those bedrooms are going to be really dark.

I have heard there is a decking material that is translucent and lets light through.

Anyone 1. know what i am talking about . and/or 2 have experience with it?
