Build a Deck for the Shed

Hey Tim,

This was my weekend project before Easter. Building a deck for my shed next to my waterfalls/pond. It took me about 3 1/2 days to complete it by myself.

It is made out of pressure treated lumber 5/4 deck planks, and the framing is 2x6's. I used 12', 16', and 20' deck planks so I wouldn't have any but seams. It has some crazy angles to it, but you have to do what you have to do to make it work.

Now instead of sitting on a rock to watch my fish , I can sit in a chair.

Thanks for looking.
