Jonkm an With Father's Day coming up and the hot weather settling in, the timing is perfect to help dad build a new deck! It couldn't be easier than with the help of Leisure Lumber, a division of Just Decks Ltd. "We've taken the existing deck mar­ ket and improved upon it in three areas," explains Just Decks president, Doug Holmstead. "Our designs are much more elaborate and sophisticated than your typical 12'x l2 ' deck, the space is designed to be much more functional and practical, and the materials are supe­ rior." Leisure Lumber was created three years ago in response to the demand of superior design and materials, which became quite evident as business increased at Just Decks. "We wanted to offer the same con­ cept as Just Decks but for homeowners who would rather do the work them­ selves," Holmstead says, "while main­ taining the reputation we've built at Just Decks." The strategy to offer high end mate­ rials and service keeps the company busy to capacity. It is no surprise that customers are choosing to use higher quality materials and designs for their decks, an investment that will increase the value and pleasure of their home. Like Just Decks, Leisure Lumber offers a design service. Customers need only bring in measurements and details to get a customized deck plan prepared for them. "We do the designing on a 3D com­ puter," Holmstead explains, "so the cus­ tomer can see how it will look. This way we can create a design to match exactly what the customer wants." Once the design has been drawn up, a material list, cut list and footings and beams layout are also provided. Besides offering superior materials, designs and service, Leisure Lumber has a surplus of experience to share with customers. 'The main thing is we have more product knowledge because the people here have actually been building decks for years," says Holmstead. 'This is our primary business-- we deal only with decks. It's like a store that consists only of a deck department. We stand behind our inventory because it's what we use. It's not just available because it's on the market." Staff enthusiasti­ cally share tips, tricks, methods and insights that will help make the building process simpler. It's also a perfect resource for contractors. Leisure Lumber carries quality cedar lumber, which, according to Holmstead, is pre­ dictable and controllable. The quality is consistent. They also carry furnishings, acces­ sories and hardware-- for building a deck or enjoying it. A new item available at Leisure Lumber that appeals to those with an increasingly busy lifestyle and less leisure time, is the vinyl deck. This alternative building product is mainte­ nance-free, easy to install and stays beautiful for years. Vinyl decks come in a 2"x6" deck board configuration which can be used in place of traditional 2"x6" deck planks. It's simple to put together, with concealed screws, and comes in white, gray, beige or sand. It can be built in combination with some woodwork and also comes with a 20 year guaran­ tee. Just Decks also has the perfect Father's Day gift-- Muskoka Chairs. Made of cedar (or hockey sticks!), they add a comfortable finishing touch to any backyard or deck. If you're thinking about building a deck, or dad is, drop by Leisure Lumber for more information. They are located at 730 Griffiths Rd. (off Fairview, halfway between Walkers and Appleby Lines), or call 847-8233.
