[quote=Anonymous]For reference, I built my Free standing deck 16ft by 24ft deck with overtop pergola for $3000 in materials (Wood, nails, renting auger and paying a handyman to help use the two man auger for post holes. Labor is usually about three times the cost of materials. Composite still needs a wood structure. Because the composite is more flexible it needs more wood for support underneath. Biggest pain was painting the pergola. Make sure all Rain water is flowing away from the home and deck posts to avoid rot. If possible don’t put wood deck posts in the ground. Build on top of concrete tubes.[/quote]
