Interlocking decking tiles. They look great and have lasted through our first rain with them. However they took me a good 2 hours to do my small balcony. You should definitely have your husband put these together.
My wrists and fingers were killing me after doing a few of these. You really need that male weight to push into them to snap them together. They are actually quite difficult to snap together, but again I am only 100 lbs so maybe if a 190lb+ man did it, it would be a lot easier and faster.
It's a cheap easy way to create a deck! Just snap and go! NO TOOLS REQUIRED! You can also cut these to customize. you can get them from Amazon or you can go to Ikea they have them.
