The Humans built a deck. The deck is a flat surface capable of supporting my weight, it is similar to a floor, but it was constructed outdoors, and it is elevated from the ground. As an extension of the outdoor living area the space is used daily for dining, lounging, and working. The Humans dug thru piles of wood over at True Norther Cedar in Superior, Wisconsin to obtain perfect planks of Northern White Cedar. Recently, our good friend Zack started up a mill in Wisconsin: Fox Walk Log & Timber. Local support peoples. Beyond linseed oil, they left it left untreated so it may naturally weather to a beautiful silver gray. Build a deck HERE.

Testing placement for the footings.

Digging and initial framing.

Screwed.

Built and supported like a tank.

True North Cedar Inc. Good people, good wood.

The Humans went with hidden fasteners for barefoot bliss.

Verifying the last plank goes on perfect.

Lounging test one = approved.

Herb relaxing.

Yes, the Humans enjoy the deck as well. They left the sidewalk side of the planks untrimmed from the mill, which gives all the linear aspects an organic contrast.
