Who Says Deck Building Isn't An Art?

Many people make the mistake of thinking that building decks isn't an art. It is. Just look at the picture above. It takes great planning, precision, and VISION to create a deck of such beauty. Think of it this way; the wood is your paint, the tools are like brushes, the environment is the canvas, and the builder is the artist. The only difference is that while art is generally admired from afar, you can both admire and LIVE on a hardwood deck.

This San Rafael deck builder really look the challenge of building off a slope to a whole new level. According to the builder, "The deck is built using max. 22’-0” boards, so no butt joints exist in the field, giving the deck more continuity of wood, separated by angled transition pieces." While this sounds technical (and it is), you can't argue the result is pure art.
