I re-did my 10'x16' deck with composite. So now I have this mound of 5/4"x6", 2"x6", and a few 2"x4" to evolve into something useful. I will go digging thru my magazine collection for ideas.
Then there is the matter of what to do with 71 square ballusters, 41" long.....
I am off to a good start: I removed all nails, sorted the lumber, and covered the piles. |

Tom,
You probably already tohought of this, but I'll say it anyway.... Did you go over the reclaimed wood with a metal detector?

Adirondack chairs for the new deck i sone option. Or you could build some planters. If nothing else, cut the boards into pieces to make bird houses and find a local Cub Scout Pack and donate it to them for projects. We have all kinds of projects for our kids to work on and pre-cut bird houses are a good way to get them interested in woodworking.
Of course, you could make a picnic table with the leftovers as well. Outdoor table and chairs for the new deck, sandbox for kids or even a dog house. Lots of options, depending on the shape it's in. | |

You could make some planters/flower boxes. | |

I did an Adirondack Chair and Ottoman for the LOML's garden spot with material left over from our deck. Also did a series of planters for her herb garden and our mailbox area. | |

I don't know if I would recommend CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenate) pressure treated lumber for anytype of vegatable or herb garden. We had some raised vegatable plant beds made of 6x6 CCA, when we moved in. I ripped them out shortly afterwards. Call me parnoide if you like, but I figure why take a chance? You can google "CCA teated lumber" and get lots of information about it.
