[QUOTE="ratski, post: 1786388, member: 936"] The deck is mainly 2x6s. right now it is all wood. don't have to replace the concrete pad. Figure the base as crossbraces and frame w/ 2x6 planking for the rest. No railings, no siding, 5 steps. As best I can figure, based on the drawings and measurments, is one rectangular area that is 32 x 10 feet (320 sq ft), plus one rectangular area that is 32 x 1 foot (32 square feet) w/ an area w/ some curves that is 14 foot at the apex by 32 at the base for a maximum possible 448 sq feet. That gives me a maximum possible square footage of 800 square feet. The cost estimate this place gave me was over $37,000 for composite material (over $46 a square foot) and over $21, 000 for cedar (over $27 a square foot). I considered both to be a bit extreme, especially considering a small house can be purchased for close to the higher price. Dave [/QUOTE]
