Sometimes it works although the faster water is drained from the surface, the higher is the rate of success. Using the surface for a sundeck floor
will shorten the life of the roofing material but, what the heck. Anything for a good tan and a place to drink mass quantities of ice cold beer.
So often I've seen people build a sundeck but, rarely use them. Seems the stairs are always an afterthought and end up being too steep or in a bad
place.

OK....No 2x12x20 at the HD in Ensenada. Asked if it would ever happen and I got one of those thousand yard stares and a maybe.
Here's some available stock and prices. This is all good looking Doug Fir:
2x4x8...........35 Ps.
x10..........44
x12...........52
x16...........70
2x6x16...........109
x20...........137
2x10x14..........197
2x12x10...........155
They have most other lengths but I didn't do a complete inventory. I think the above prices are good and, again, Doug Fir is best.
Pacifico....You could stack two 2x6s on edge and skin them with half inch OSB, shear nail and you would have what you're looking for. Sounds like a
lot of work but, it does the job.

THANK YOU DENNIS! Dern is going to love that you posted all those prices. Now we can estimate how much moola to put aside for lumber.
He mentioned the sandwich deal re making beams if he had to. That's probably how it's going to end up unless you guys find something at Los Olivos.
Maybe by "wensday" 4Baja will remember the answers to my questions

i've seen lumber shipped from san diego lots of times
you NEED to use a broker in advance because the lumber needs a fumigation certificate and other stuff

Thanks Dennis! I owe ya a cold Pacifico!!! I was thinking of making a quick trip to Ensenada to go see if they can order 2x12x20's and see what they
have in person. I would think they could order in almost anything that is found in the states as long as it is paid for in advance. As far as brokers
go - does anyone know any brokers they would recommend?

Paulina, I definitely will let you know once I make the trip down - hopefully soon. How many do you need? Also, out of curiosity, are you in Camp
Gecko?

We need 8 of them.
No, we're not in Gecko, but we could see it from our old deck.
Thanks again,

Hi all,
For sure we would give a high recommendation to Los Olivos as well! We got all our vigas and tounge in groove boards there. VERY helpful and cheaper
than Home Despot probably because they do all their own milling as well. They can do any size beam you want.
