We once lived in Big Bear Lake and had a redwood-stained deck that meandered as a set of platforms through the pines.
During the warm summer months, we would dine outdoors and savor the quiet setting.
The only problem with those decks and the harsh winters that buried them in snow is that we had to have them refinished every couple of years. It was no easy task.
Today, we would use a product like Trex that doesn’t rot and doesn’t require bi-annual refinishing. When browsing for deck ideas, I ran across this Trex photo and couldn’t resist sharing. It reminded me of summer dinners and laughter with friends in the mountains.
Equally enticing is that Trex is a green solution, in that it manufactures its product from recycyled wood and plastic that requires cleaning, but not the staining and refinishing we endured with our wood decks.
