The house itself is red brick.

I hope to preserve the cedar's reddish hue by applying a semi-transparent stain every couple years or so.

The decking colors I like best for this project are:
Azek Morado
Azek Sedona
TT XLM Desert Bronze
TT XLM Sandridge
TT XLM Rustic Bark

Anybody ever seen any of these colors paired with cedar railing? Any recommendations? I'm not trying to match the railing, but I want something complementary. ]]> Design BJB http://www.deckmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=292 pergola with KDAT PT vs cedar http://www.deckmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291&goto=newpost Wed, 11 Aug 2010 22:35:51 GMT Which way would you go?

Looking for a bulkier look. Cedar beams of 6x12 spanning 20'. Rafters of 4x10 spanning 20' spaced 24'oc. 2x2 purlins.

Was exploring the possibility of doubling up 2x KDAT to give appearance of thicker as unable to find any 4x lumber as way to save some money. Beam of (4)2x12, rafters (2)2x10.

Pergola will be 12' off ground. Will be staining.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. ]]> Design 7474 http://www.deckmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291 composite decking for a handicap ramp http://www.deckmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=290&goto=newpost Tue, 10 Aug 2010 23:22:34 GMT I need to know if they is a composite decking company that is certified for Handicap Ramps dapper keywest sunrooms and decking...
