ipe-framed-dividedThis Customer has a 21 x 16 foot deck. She did not want a dreary large deck. Instead she wanted something more interesting. As show below, she took 8 foot boards with a perpendicular board down the center.
Deck: Note the perpendicular divider board and framing integrating the seams into a design. This works for all size decks.
