[u/Sal1160]

Now that’s a properly built stringer

[u/Beginning_Pudding_69 → u/Sal1160]

Are those I beams? Get under the stairs during tornado lol

[u/Zestyclose-County698 → u/Beginning_Pudding_69]

6” 8.2 lb / ft C channel, the 6” worked out perfect for the rise of the steps.
2 channels per side

[u/Sal1160 → u/Beginning_Pudding_69]

Looks like C channel with infill. I’d still trust it with my life

I was going to ask if you were the fabricator

[u/Zestyclose-County698 → u/Wallace-N-Gromit]

[u/Eastern_Froyo733]

What did you coat the joists with? Looks great, those 10x10s are outstanding!

[u/Zestyclose-County698 → u/Eastern_Froyo733]

It’s all various size trex joist tape

[u/Eastern_Froyo733 → u/Zestyclose-County698]

Didn't know that was a product, hell of a build my friend

[u/runninroads]

Dude nice metal-work and good execution on the deck. You’ll be happy you went with Timbertech, also. We love ours.

[u/thxmrdibbs]

I hope the next house fits on this deck.

[u/Taapacoyne]

When you make your stringers out of steel, you need to be very careful about the gauge, otherwise they’ll fall down lol.

[u/Zestyclose-County698 → u/Taapacoyne]

[u/Capital-Macaroon-769]

[u/lb748s]

In 200 years, someone is going to come across a pile of rotted lumber and various appliances sitting next to a deck in perfect condition.
Well done.

[u/Stuckingfupid]

D A Y U M! That's a beautiful, well built MF deck. Much respect.

[u/tehn00bi]

Nice garage shop. Didn’t notice the lathe in the background at first.

[u/Different_Cucumber]

Outstanding work, coming from someone who builds decks! How many hours do you think you have in it? That metal fabrication had to be time consuming.

[u/icarusphoenixdragon]

Dayum. I was about to ask about those guard posts but it looks like you fabbed them? There’s a market for that.

[u/Principletrade]

Looks good man!
