I've been researching building a deck (there's a post just down from this one), and the more I look into the effects of the new kind of PT lumber, the less I like the idea of using Hot-Dipped galvanized fasteners, hangers, etc., in the structure, no matter what the recommendations are. This means using stainless steel, which is much more expensive.
So, I started thinking about maybe just buying stainless steel nails, then using more old-fashioned construction methods instead of using stainless steel fittings. It's probably more work, but time isn't money when you do it yourself.
Any thoughts on this?
