Usually cedar, with a pressure treated frame, and cedar decking. Have never really liked the composite decking, it gets too hot in the summer and you can’t really fix any damage to the boards, just have to replace them and then they don’t match up with color and fade.
It helps having healthy budgets to deal with.
The one above was for a friend of mine, a little less budget, all pressure treated frame and decking. It is the last time I will install the glass panels on the second floor. There was no machine access to get them up there, next time it’s the glass guys problem.

Yeah I've always made cold food stay cold, cooling hot people and warming cold people, so that stuff is not stuff I know.

Only thing I know about that stuff is to call the guy!

Thanks, If I recall correctly was around 22 with the glass and vinyl floor for the upper deck. The big curveball was the city demanding a new wider fire escape. That was 15 extra once in place

Looks good.

Just watch for the hornets and paper wasps to start making nests all over the place now with all that fresh building material.

So's........... because we're at the giant truck stop of nothing..........we made an emergency truck sandwich, and has placed a can of soup that eats like a meal in front of the bunk heater.

Cool Design and usage of different Materials in a small Area

Other than the Composite Material requiring different Gapping based on the ambient Temp, always enjoyed working with it. Love the smell of Cedar as Ur cutting it!!

Thanks, yours as well. I wasn't a fan of the non metallic paint at first but I was just after the bones. The cop blue has grown on me though.
