Hunter and I completed this deck last Saturday. It is huge and took quite awhile to individually drill and screw the IPE wood boards. The door in the background is to the great room. The deck extends around the corner to the left with an entry into the master bedroom. Given the 15 foot drop we definitely need railing before the upcoming family reunion.
This picture is from the great room. The IPE wood is very dense (weighs about twice that of a similarly sized redwood board). However the rot and disease resistance of the boards (up to 100 year life) make them worth the time and trouble of handling.
This deck is very very small. We will use it for our grill. It is located off the breakfast room through a sliding glass door. In spite of the cover the rain storm did get us a little wet.
