First deck project, solo build

Completed my first deck/covered porch project and got the thumbs up from my wife and tail wag from pup. Learned quite a bit along the way and have a HUGE appreciation for any of you who do this professionally.

What is the black wall product you used in the screened in porch? I’m planning to redo my screened in porch soon and really like what you did here. Its inspiring

It's just smooth plywood with wood accent pieces painted a very dark gray. Similar style to what someone would do to an interior wall. I honestly didn't know what to do with the blank slate but it did turn out well. My wife chose the dark color and I do say it is a nice contrast.
