The prize
The prize is a 10-foot by 10-foot deck built at the winner’s home with basic Trex decking on standard pressure-treated framing, no more than 8 inches off the ground. In plain words: a low, square deck, about the size of a small patio, with boards that never need staining or sealing, on a treated wood frame. The prize does not include stairs, railing, permits, lighting or demolition of any kind. Level Line is not responsible for sprinkler or waste lines or any unknown site conditions. The prize is non-transferable and has no cash value. The winner is responsible for any taxes on the prize.

Building the deck
The deck is built at the winner’s home, at the address on the entry, subject to site conditions: what can be built there depends on the ground, the drainage and how the yard can be reached. Any permit the town or village requires is the winner’s responsibility. If the winner does not own the home, written permission from the property owner is required before work begins. Level Line and the winner agree on a build date after the announcement.
