...and never sag.
At one end of her 60 x 12 foot deck this customer wanted a screened porch...
...at the other she wanted a gazebo roof with a little cupola on top ( not shown ).

This customer was happy with stair access to front and back of her mountain hideaway. Joe did a complete make over of this house, by the way, roof, windows, doors, siding, gutters, interior framing, sheet rock, flooring, new half bath, kitchen remodel, whole house re-wiring, plumbing upgrade, and stone work for back patio and interior chimney. He didn't take pictures, though, or if he did, he can't find them.
A simple but elegant redwood deck from Joe's earlier days in California.
A fancy fence for urban privacy...
...very nice if you have small children.
Another redwood fence...
...only in California!
And another...
...but redwood weathers, you know, and turns grey. The sun turns all wood grey! Whatever wood Joe's fences are made of, they will stand straight long after they're old and grey!
If you buy a piece of a farm and build your home way back in the pasture on a hill, you might want a gate at the road where your drive will be.
