We have a covered / screened in deck...

...with fan / lighting / speakers, and a step-down to a patio with additional seating and fire pit (a portion of the deck is uncovered, and that's where I keep the grill and smoker). Aside from days like today, we eat dinner on the screened in deck nearly every chance we get.

Any recommendations on outdoor deck renovations? -- EDGEMAN 07/14/2016 09:36AM

Has anybody tried those "re-new" paints on an old deck? ** -- Hokie in CT 07/14/2016 1:44PM

Most I've heard is they suck. Short lifespan ** -- 48zip 07/14/2016 1:50PM

I had thought about it, but I just want to replace the boards. ** -- EDGEMAN 07/14/2016 2:59PM

That's your best bet, IMHO. And when it comes to sealers -- 48zip 07/14/2016 3:15PM

Just cover it as shown in the picture. -- Hokie in CT 07/14/2016 1:43PM

Just flip the boards over- prob nice on the bottom ** -- bigbadbird 07/14/2016 11:10AM

I saw a metal roof carport on a deck that had been screened -- bigbadbird 07/14/2016 11:07AM

You are in my EXACT situation. I've been waiting and waiting to do somethin -- psychobilly 07/14/2016 10:41AM

I started a deck renovation project back in April... -- IB4TECH 07/14/2016 12:29PM

What composite boards/system did you go with, Trex? -- EDGEMAN 07/14/2016 4:02PM

I went with Lowes best grade, forget what they call it... -- IB4TECH 07/14/2016 10:00PM

A couple of thoughts without seeing the actual space... -- VTBB 07/14/2016 10:01AM

Agryd. A patio can look just as nice and will be loads easier to maintain. ** -- vtbones 07/14/2016 10:15AM

We did a 2 level patio w/ fire pit/water fountain. We still use the deck. -- 48zip 07/14/2016 10:13AM

You can see the patio step here -- 48zip 07/14/2016 10:19AM

Are you just hot-dogging? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/14/2016 10:21AM

Well.....sh. I guess. ** -- 48zip 07/14/2016 1:05PM

Had no idea you were in the wedding business. Cool. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/14/2016 10:15AM

Not really. Just a decent size deck/patio that overlooks a lake. -- 48zip 07/14/2016 10:20AM

Mine is elevated but not screened in -- turkeywinghokie 07/14/2016 09:58AM

If you expand -- PUAhokie 07/14/2016 09:52AM

Probably beyond the scope of this renovation... -- EDGEMAN 07/14/2016 09:54AM

Trex transitions for the board, railings. Black aluminum balusters. -- VTHogmollies 07/14/2016 10:03AM

If you go two levels, a curved step looks good and isn't difficult. -- 48zip 07/14/2016 09:47AM

Don't build it in your basement and then have it be too big to take outside ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/14/2016 09:47AM

How much time do you spend on it? do you live in a cold weather state? ** -- HokiePHX 07/14/2016 09:42AM

757 baby! -- EDGEMAN 07/14/2016 09:47AM
