Coolest Backyard Deck Contest

Thank you to each and everyone of my visitors who have made Ideas-For-Deck-Designs.com one of the top deck building information sites on the net.

And to show my sincere gratitude, I thought why not offer up $500 to the person who has built the coolest deck over the past year?

So this is it - the first annual contest.

Have Fun And May The Coolest Deck Win!

Upload your picture and tell us the challenges you faced, the hurdles you over came, any cool tips or products you used and why you love your deck so much.

Contest Runs From July 5th to September 2nd.

We'll announce the winner on September 3rd and the lucky person will have an extra $500 to go spend on whatever like. And don't forget, you must upload a picture to play.
