About Us

Hi! I am Ryan Nickel – a Red Seal carpenter, the owner and operator of E3 Construction and this website. Both of which allow me to do three things that I love, building things, spending time outdoors and sharing what I have learned with others. I hope to share what I have learned from years of wearing a tool belt and am still learning every summer as I have the privilege of building decks. Along with sharing what I learned of the things that can further enhance your outdoor oasis, making your deck, your happy place with the right accessories.
