Don’t Be a Deck
May 5th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
Ok, that title doesn’t really make any sense, I just thought it was funny and couldn’t come up with anything creative. I’m working on sprucing up our upstairs deck on as small a budget as possible (stay tuned for finished pics, this stupid rain storm has really put me behind schedule). So in trying to stay low budget, I was in Ikea the other day picking up some outdoor accessories and I came across their decking (pictured above).
This comes into play because our deck is in desperate need of refinishing, but we rent so I don’t want to invest the money or time. So I’m thinking of using the Platta decking to cover up the wrecked wood. They also had another smaller decking option with plastic snaps on the bottom, which might work better because I’m not completely sure how the Platta decking will stay in place. Unfortunately, they don’t have this other style online but you can check it out in the store.
I didn’t know Ikea had decking so I thought I’d let you guys know. The quality seems decent in person and of course the price is right. Anyway, stay tuned. Hopefully this rain will stop and I’ll be able to finish my project new decking and all!
