Building a deck for a tub is very much like building any other deck. These benches can be nail-laminated in different lengths using economical garden grades of redwood. The same is true for fences and decks. Because of our concern for the environment and because we have better technology for construction, we can now make better fences and decks with less material. I am going to build a deck.
