I have a high point on my property that overlooks a small canyon (they call it a draw here in WY) and if you get up about 6-10 feet higher you can see all the way down into the canyon. I've been musing about building a deck there with a ladder to climb up to a platform that's just big
enough to put an air
mattress and sleeping bag on it and sleep under the stars on nights when it's not freezing or overcast or a full moon. Since lumber prices have gone down a bit, I was thinking about using 4x4x12's. My question is:
should they be tilted inward like the legs on an oil derrick or straight up and down?
