Here's an update of the deck, with 2 of the 11 privacy panels built, and we added a flower bed around the bottom of the deck, to add the plants and vines we want for privacy.

We have 9 more panels to build....but it gives you an idea of how it will look when its done.

N-i-i-i-i-i-c-e, Penny. I love it!

Here are some updates from the weekend and our deck building.........

Here is the back door, and this will be closed in with a panel....

We added the bars over the weekend, Brad made them, and this is where the new steps will go

Down this side is the last 16 feet of flower bed that we added...

Behind the BBQ and chaise..we are 5 deck boards short to the floor being totally finished...

Two more deck panels to go, down this side...

A close up.....

This looks so nice, Penny. And it should give you a little more privacy from the school behind you too. Going to get an all-over tan?

Looks wonderful, Penny.

Me too, and the best part is that the virginia creeper has grown about 10 inches in a week!!

Penny · « **Reply #44 on:** Jul 25, 2011, 11:49:36 AM »

I also planted some clematis in there too

Dianna · « **Reply #45 on:** Jul 25, 2011, 12:00:14 PM »

It will be even prettier when the plants fill in...

landofoz · « **Reply #46 on:** Jul 25, 2011, 12:03:12 PM »

That looks great, Penny! I'm sure it will be even more beautiful when the clematis and virginia creeper fill in!

I like. Did you buy the panels or did Brad make them?

Tina · « **Reply #48 on:** Jul 25, 2011, 12:40:41 PM »

Brad and Penny are making the panels. I think it is lovely.

Tina's right, we bought the cedar 2x4's for the top and bottom of the panels, and then used 2x6's for the strips, which Brad put through the table saw, and built them that way.
Takes alot of time to rip them through the table saw, but the end result is worth it.

Thanks everyone.
