DECIDEDLY DIY
More homeowners than ever are feeling confident about building their own outdoor living spaces. Lighter weight deck boards such as Trex Enhance, as well as innovative, easy-to-install railing panels, have made creating a dream deck on your own easier than ever.
If you are comfortable using a hammer, a power saw and a drill, you can build your own deck. Or, if you have a deck but it is showing signs of wear, you can easily resur- face it in just one weekend, so long as the substructure is intact.
For those ready to DIY, expert help is never more than a click away. Installation guides, instructional vid- eos and detailed plans are readily available online.
