I’m going to attempt to rebuild the deck on the second floor of our house. It looks like it was previously done with pressure treated 2x6. Assuming that the underlying supports are good, what would you recommend for the deck flooring? As for the railing cap, I’m probably just going to tear off the two by sixes and replace with either 2x6 pressure treated or cedar.
The 4 x 4 rail posts appear to be solid.
For the deck flooring I am leaning towards either pressure treated 5/4 deck boards or cedar. The main reason being that I have to haul that wood up to the second floor! Wood gets heavy when you’re carrying it up two floors!
