What'll one like this one set me back? Just ballpark it for now, I gotta find my own seaside cliff in KY first.

I'm guessing it'll be at least five hundred dollars?

I bet that place is wicked during a storm.

Yeah, it's amazing. But the thing that jumps out at me is that the deck boards on the largest deck are curved. I didn't know that was an option. Extremely impracticable. I wonder if it's shopped.

Edit: Nope. Not shopped. Just a special order. Wonder what the markup is.

At least. Even if you skimp on materials you're looking at at least 600 bucks.

Which is to say: whoever can afford to have a deck like that on ocean property like that can afford to get it fixed when a nor'easter rolls around. It's probably just a fair weather vacation home anyway.

That fire pit makes me nervous. I'm afraid it will spark or a log will fall and the whole structure go up in smoke. I'd be trapped at the bottom of the cliff!!!

Meh. I want a ventricular railway down to my private cove.
Although I spose the different decking levels would give my Grand-Nephews somewhere to play.

**NOTE**
Best to link that image to Trex ®, the manufacturer from where it came.
Thats a VERY popular image of theirs which they use in much of their advertising.
I've used that image myself and had to jump through a ton of hoops just to get the authorization.
IIRC, that's one of the most expensive composite decks ever built. I know it was the most expensive by Trex®.

I guess I'm a wood snob. I abhor composite decks.

I saw that post, dawg, on my phone over the weekend. I laughed heartily.
