Deck wall? In the old days they would call them Spite Fences. ;)

@Fob: What kind of wood did you use for the privacy wall?

They still do.  At least, we still do.  It's cheaper than the brown, but not by a whole lot.  A few hundred dollars when building an entire fence or deck, so most people just go for the brown treated because it looks nicer.

Still looks good. I need to make a smaller version to cover up the AC unit in the back yard. I think I will go with cedar since it's a smaller job.

Actually now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen the green stuff for a bit at any of the big stores.

About 3 years ago , I was rebuilding the fence and I could only get the brown colour ,
I checked at Rona, Home Depot and Home Hardware
They said it was special order to get green

Huh...wonder if it was some sort of environmental thing or just went out of style.

I'm surprised the neighbours didn't put a wall to block their view.   :rofl2:

This.  I'm doing a rear deck now and will likely use the brown as I did with the front deck last year.

Nice work Fob!  :thumbup: I built one similar to that at my last house for privacy.  It was only two sections long like yours.
