New deck to cover broken porch tiles

New deck to cover broken porch tiles

The weekend I moved in, something heavy was dropped on the tiles of my front porch, breaking one and leaving a few loose. I decided to build Merbau decking over the top and I could not be happier with the result. Took me 6 hours and cost $250. Not bad for a girl who has never used power tools before!

 

Next project will be to build a cover for the hose and then the gas meter.

Hi @malhan,

 

Thanks for joining in the discussion. I would encourage you to hit the Start a discussion button and share some photos of your concrete slab and details about the kind of deck you would like to build. That way you'll get much more specific and helpful advice from our experienced community members.
