[QUOTE=Vermilion Villager;2317096]We have a CYV in Marsh Bend. We have an 8'x16 concrete slab off the lania. We want to extend the area to the back concrete wall, and at the same time raise it to the floor level of the lania.
If Lowes and Home Depot carry it, SOMEBODY installs it. My concern would be the possibility of it turning into a varmint hotel (snakes, possums, bobcats, etc.). I know in Michigan, these critters love the safety that a small confined space life that attracts. |

I would also go with pavers and avoid matching issues by not trying to match. Create intentional contrast even if only a 1-2' board then go back to concrete color if you want. Cheaper to do, easier to repair/replace pavers if you drop grease, break, etc. FWIW, Trex is great up north where a deck can be snow covered for months since it doesn't rot, doesn't need to be painted, etc. But snakes and critters under it are to be expected!

Trex
I will 2nd that Trex getes very hot. A PVC deck will not get hot so I would suggest that if you go forward with decking. Don't know if it is available around here or not.

Do you have the name of the concrete contractor? The ground deck will be 14x20 when finished. Based on what you paid for concrete I would estimate the cost for this would be around $4000-$5000. The plan is to span the existing concrete pad and also raise the deck so we can walk out our lanai right on to the deck instead of stepping down. You could do it this in concrete but it would involve pouring a 6 inch slab on top of a 6 inch slab and then extending that out to the finished size and either raising the area beyond the original pad with dirt or… As you can see it could get very expensive real quick. |
