Have you always dreamed of building your own deck? While building a deck is a fairly large and complicated construction project, it is possible to do-it-yourself. You will need several tools including (hammer, tape measure, level, cordless drill & saw) and a desire to invest a little sweat equity. Here are my tips and recomendations for those interested in building a deck onto their home.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Check with City or County ordinances for set-back requirements.<\/li>\n
  2. Based on your design, determine the size of footings and the size of joists to carry the weight so the deck doesn’t settle.<\/li>\n
  3. Install proper flashing where deck attaches to the house, to prevent the deck from rotting the wall.<\/li>\n
  4. Use correct fastener spacing when attaching framing members and decking as per building code.<\/li>\n
  5. Stairs if needed must be installed according to the building code for safety of the user.<\/li>\n
  6. Hand rails & railings should be installed at proper locations & heights for safety.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once your deck is complete, sit back and enjoy the rest of the summer!<\/p>\n
