 How to Build a Wood Deck

Step 1: Plan Your Deck

Define the deck’s location, size, and purpose. Obtain the necessary permits before starting.

Step 2: Prepare the Site

Clear the area, level the ground, and mark the deck layout with stakes and string.

Step 3: Build the Frame

Set the posts in concrete for stability, then install beams and joists according to your design.

Step 4: Install Decking Boards

Lay boards perpendicular to the joists and secure them with corrosion-resistant screws.

Step 5: Add Railings and Finishing Touches

Railings enhance safety, while stain or sealant protects your deck from weather damage.

Pro Tip: Hire a professional for framing and structural work to ensure durability and code compliance.
