Small Shed Deck

This deck is sort of strange, but it was small and helped us "prove out" that we could build decks using the DeckBlock construction method.

The ultimate plan for this deck is to provide a walkway around the ponds to get to the dog run, as well as to implement a nifty thing we saw on a pond tour...

We plan to extend the roof of the shed with a "false" corrugated tin roof, with a water pump taking pond water up over the top of the shed and allowing it to "rain" down over the corrugated tin roof. Then, when you're walking along the shed, you'll be "under the eaves" while rain is pouring down.

At least, that's the plan.


A view of the shed, and the "hard liner" pond, before the deck work began.

Another view, after we've started clearing stuff to begin work.

Here we are with our first deck block row, and support beam, in place. We tackled this small 4x12 deck first.

All three beams are in place now.

A different angle view.

We've nailed on the deck top boards now!

Our first deck, finished.


Stained, ready to enjoy!
