There is a growing sentiment that "Deck Are for Dummies", given that
they require so much maintenance and are mostly little used once in
place. Consider whether you really need a pricey 'keep up with the
Joneses' addition or a more prudent reducing the mortgage by that
amount. Times are tough right now, and the recession will be with us
for some time.
Nothing wrong with reading up on the subject, though, to help decide
when the time is right.

Considering the recession and the lack of jobs, NO ONE should be
building anything. No one can not afford it, except the ultra
wealthy, and those people should be giving their money to the poor who
have nothing to eat, (which is half the population in the US). Anyone
building these days is either very greedy, or wants to go so far in
debt that they lose what they already own.

What a load of crap. At the very worst, if you have cash to pay for a deck,
go for it. Do it yourself, even.

To the OP, wait till 2020 to build your deck. by that time we "might"
be out of the recession. Of course that will only happen if we get
rid of both the democrats and republicans, and elect someone who gives
a damn about "We the people".

More crap.
