My box wood and strips arrived today.Got home and took it out of the boxes pronto.
Unfortunately the manufacturer shipped the wrong product
Urgh !!!!!.But that's ok ! I only waited 2 months for it...no big deal.
The wood kit is supposed to be no drill so the main carriage bolts are hidden underneath the deck,not to mention it showed up with a large crack in one of the boards ....,and clearly not shipping related.
Oh well,another setback.Getting used to it and even calculate it in to my
"HOPE TO GET IT DONE IN THIS LIFE TIME" time frame.
The good news is the strips look fantastic.They are a hidden fastener system ,so no exposed bolts in these.They are more expensive,but well worth it if you want this clean look.
