I built a 16' x 31' deck in Central Florida in late 2006 with premium 1-1/4" x 6" deck wood, 4x4 posts sunk in concrete, 2x6 pt beams 24" on center for right around $1900.00. I did all the work myself in about 5 days, start to finish. This deck is raised about 16" off the ground and is 2-tiered.

Decks all depend on materials, on which the cost can vary wildly, and whether you can do the work yourself. Double the material cost if you plan on having a contractor do the work. Also check for code and permitting requirements.

I did a lot of research before beginning my project!

Hope this helps!
