Just looking for peoples recommendations on building a new deck around a salt water swimming pool. We back onto bushland and are rated BAL-29 and it is termite city down there. I am looking for recommendations re advantages/disadvantages of using hard wood frame or galvanized steel frame. As far as the termites are concerned I am swaying towards the steel but have concerns about the exposure to salt water especially screwing through the decking into the frame, removing the galvanized coating. Anyone out there with first hand experience of this?
Thanks
