I am replacing my patio with a deck in the next few weeks and just browsing the website to get some ideas and tips.

Welcome to the Forum, Colleen:
This is only the second time I have seen that name used; I wonder why?
Check with Home Depot and Lowes for books on decks, they have some great ones. I would recommend going with the new plastics and/or composites for a lifetime deck with minimal maintenance.

Glenn,

Thanks for your reply. I will definitely look into Home Depot and Lowes.

Check out Lowes online deck designer. I've played around w/ it and it does a pretty good job. Gives you 3D view, parts list, etc.

You can find some pretty recent and detailed "deck books" at your local library...for free!

Hi all! Decided to do brick pavers which is actually a little cheaper then a nice deck. Chose the color sandalwood in a cobblestone. Hope it looks nice. Wish me luck!

Good luck! I'm sure it will look great. Post pics when it's complete.

I will be sure to post pics as soon as possible.

Up here in our part of the country you are better off with a patio for another reason....well 2 really.

You don't need a building permit and you dont get charged a tax when they do re-evaluations for property tax time.

Patios also do not need much paint...Ha Ha..
