Balcony makeover

This old balcony had seen it's time. Redwood is a beautiful decking material, but without periodic refinishing, it will eventually become ugly, rotten, and termite-ridden.

Replacing the decking with Trex Brasilia gave the balcony a great new look. Plus, Trex never needs to be sanded or painted and has a 25-year warranty against rotting, splitting, cracking, and basically everything else wrong with wood.

The decking was installed with hidden fasteners that anchor the boards down from the side rather than from above.
