Took mine out this winter. Be sure you definitely want it- we did our own and we have done a couple of little ones for friends. They are high maintenance and quite expensive to keep in good nick. Just completed a re stain for some one and it was £132 for the stain alone. If its gets heavy use and a tough winter, which you have up your way, you'll need to re do it every year. I have found that the water based stains are not particularly long lasting. Once assembled, I found screws could not be removed if a board needed replacing, making the job more difficult. Joists are almost impossible to treat and ours lasted around 12 years before rotting through.
The groved boards gather crap and need cleaning a lot to keep up appearances, especially if a lot of trees etc near by that drop leaves in autumn.
On the plus side they have a softer feel than patios and look great when, new wouldn't have another one though.
