Wooden deck, feedback from experiences

This subject is just going to relate my 3 constructions of wooden terraces (3rd in progress), you never know it can always be used.

The first was in 2005 with the means on board and the minimum expenditure of course.


The original place

The 4 construction planks with 2 wells lost at the bottom of the slope which have always played their role well

Summary placement of boards with joists

I used cement slabs which were on site without worrying about buying others.

Summary covering with wooden slabs (end of series in large areas)

The only "trick" of the system was to make a "frame" so that the just laid wooden slabs (neither screwed nor nailed) did not move and they did not move


A saturator pass

After that this small terrace of ten square meters will never be maintained either above or below.



It will still take 8 years to no longer be (partially) functional.

Frankly 8 years compared to the little investment of time, material and maintenance it is given.

And when I say 8 ... actually I built the next one in 2015.
But from the age of 8 she started to move on the right side (back to the house)




This is where there were no cement slabs that the boards that rested ... on other boards rotten.

If I wanted it was enough to change the boards / joists (they were also a little too thin, but I had been too lazy to disburse more) and to buy back some cement slabs (to no longer have this problem of "rapid decay" "And that started all over again because the planks were good and the wooden slabs too.

All this to say that it is not necessarily necessary to dig the nénette to make a wooden terrace

The second in the same place.

There I followed the "normal" route a little more, especially because I wanted to change the tiles with blades.

I put geo, which was not the case the 1st time

Stabilizing slabs, adjustable studs, joists (I did not put tarred tape on the joists) and screwing (no stainless steel screws)

For planks of building materials (so I assume class 2)

The result looked good.

It has been slightly better maintained: stain, saturator.

But we moved after 2 years so I took it apart and I got the boards to redo a garden shed floor.
