Mongo Deck

Living in Colorado it tough on wood decks due to the dry climate. It is especially so for our patio deck since it faces to the South and West and just gets pounded by the sun. I've tried the "really good stain with 6-year warrenty" which lasts all of a year or two ... and then the deck looks like crap again. So after 7 years, we're going to replace it with stamped concrete - I pumped about it! ;-)
Here's the patio deck design for it and hopefully, I won't have to do any concrete cutting after this is done ... ;-)
