I built a deck on our last house, about 20' X 40'. Cost depends a lot on what kind of wood you use: treated (cheapest), cedar or redwood (most $). Bought one of those books you find in Lowe's on "how to build a deck." Cost of materials was about $1500. I used treated wood because I planned to stain it afterwards. If I were to do it again I would have used cedar. Took me about 2 weeks over the summer to build. This was back in 1996 so cost of wood probably over $2K now.
