Some Deck Work / Barrette Deco Panels

Some deck rehab work

using the new Barrette plastic

Deco Panels. These add a unique modern and different look as opposed to using the old

Chamfered balustrade pickets. You can also see more of the pool instead of a closed in look with balustrades.

We picked these up at Lowes, cut 2×2  lumber and inserted into a custom 1/4" wide and 3/4" deep routed channel,similar to inserting

a floating cabinet door panel. The trick to cutting these is to keep your table fence rigid and don't move it between cut setups,just like ripping 2.25 cabinet stiles/rails.

The nice thing is these can be removed for winter storage as they are suspended on a key hook hardware mount (Canadian Tire Hardware).
