Concrete and rebar on a deck on the second built built on the roof of an addition would be bit of a challenge.

i think joe favors apt. bldgs which resemble a "suoermax"? perhaps captive tenants are the best tenants? :D ankle bracelets?

Nahh, if BP can pump concrete a mile deep in the ocean surely you oughta be able to overcome such a small obstacle as THAT!:rolleyes:

The composite stuff is the cat's meow here in the desert. You ain't got no UV rays like we got UV rays. Heck, we have to wear moon block let alone sun block!:D

Got a buddy of mine whose composite deck is 15 years old and it still looks good. My neighbor put up a wood (cedar) fence 5 years ago and it is already warping and splitting. My cedar fence is 15 years old and I treat it every other year (about $225 a pop) to keep it in good shape.

So I'd say it's the old, "Pay me now or pay me later" routine.

Maybe Halliburton could do it, for say, 500 million;)

UV is probably pretty close to the same... what Denver lacks in relation to the equator, it makes up for with altitude
