How to Build a Deck
Are you thinking about building a deck for your home? When building a deck, it is helpful to understand the fundamental peices used in standard construction. Below are the common components when constructing a deck:
- Footing: Most decks start by attaching concrete footing and post anchors. These footers hold the posts. The depth of the feet is determined by the building standards in your area and based on a variety of factors such as depth of snowfall.
- Post: The deck’s posts hold the support beams above the ground while attached to the foot. Posts are essential to ensure airflow below the deck and access to the under-deck area.
- Beams: The beams provide necessary structural support while retaining deck framing. These are usually 2 x 8 “or 2 x 10”, which are made of wood.
- Joist: Joists support creating a fully running structure of the deck board. The joists move vertically, so it is better to use pressure-treated framing even during hardwood decking, as water does not sit on them and does not rot.
- Deck boards: Deck boards serve as visible floors for walking. You need to bring your wood to the place where it will be installed and fix it for about a week; otherwise, the edges of the board may cup or bark.
- Drainage system: When water flows between the deck slots, you must make sure that water is coming from the deck and moving away from the house; otherwise, your deck contractor will probably offer a drainage system.
- Hidden fasteners: The advantage of hidden fasteners is that it does not have any screw heads that point to the surface and cause defects. If you do not use a concealed fastener system, your contractor may use little caps of the composite or wooden cap to hide the screw heads.
- Railing: here is no need to fill in the code for deck railings if your deck is close to the ground, but most contractors prefer to use railings as an architectural element and provide a sense of security even if they are not required.
- Stairs: Given a higher budget, stairs can be built around the wrap twice as much as casual seats. If there is a building under the deck, it is advisable to take a few more feet out and run the stairs longer so that they do not take up so much visible space.
When building a deck, each part must be made correctly; otherwise, you risk the deck construction to fail. Since a deck is a large purchase, and not made to only last for a little while, the deck must be made of good quality material.
