For your 480 sq ft deck around the pool, I'd call this a pro job. Ipe is dense, pre-drilling every screw takes time, and the pool surround needs precise drainage. Budget about $9,600 installed at $20/sf. If you want to keep it DIY, the planter boxes and lounge platform on page 7 are a great weekend project. What if I want to bring it under $45k? Swap the barrel sauna for a smaller infrared cabin ($2,800) and use cedar decking instead of ipe ($12/sf). New total: $43,900. Want me to update the shopping list?
