AMPLE PARTY SPACE! Treated wood decks are both affordable and attractive, and this particular deck is HUGE (about 500 square feet)! As far as cost, a general rule-of-thumb is around $10 per square foot for a wood deck, but it can vary with additional features (hand rails, larger steps, skirting, unique architectural features, etc). Because of the rules involved with this particular site (Hickory Acres Campground – Edgerton, Ohio) we were not able to dig below grade to bury the support posts. Instead, we used concrete post support piers set up on a gravel base, and it worked quite well. The only issue with this type of deck installation is that the support posts may heave and/or settle over time, requiring minor adjustments each spring. All in all, this is a great looking deck!
