My 4 year "new" deck is dangerously falling aprart. What most homeowners don't know:
Lumber Warranty= is very misleading-if you are lucky, they will only replace product-no labor to remove/re-install/or hauling away
Local Home Improvement stores= do not provided needed information
PCV rating on end tags=not all treated lumber is the same=above ground use may not be suitable for ground level decks with no ground contact
How to inspect your deck=a little black in your decking could lead to dangerous soft and spongy wood in just a few months
