We are doing a deck and we spec'ed the boards to run out from the house,
rather than perpendicular like a regular deck. *This was setup as they
have a pool in the backyard and we wanted to deck to flow towards the
water area, and we would us less finish surface baords, utiling single 16'
runs.
The Homeowner is not sure he wants them this way, claiming all decks he
has seen usually run parellel to the house. *This is the way I usually see
them done as well.
Is there any reason why we can't do it the way we are doing it? *We are
already to the surface decking part of the deck and can't turn back now,
but we want to reassure the homeowner it is ok to do it this way? *The
deck is very well supported, in fact, we used 10" bords instead of the
normal 8" boards for support.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Is there any reason you cant do it the way you want, sure it will
probably be butt crack ugly and HO says no, do you get it mr hack. You
want it to flow to to pool area, you mean waters flow? You cant turn
back now you say, your loss might be larger than a few boards, it
would be if it was my house.
