#Small Deck Framing

Don’t rip your PVC deck boards like this! Just don’t! Little details go a long way. Knowing your materials and your tools will level up your craftsmanship. #deckbuilder

I keep getting this comment and wanted to settle the debate once and for all. Let’s hear it below! No gtape doesn’t cause rot.#gtape #deckbuilder #decks #decking #miterfold

Think a screw is just a screw? Think again. When we started this refurb, we immediately noticed the hardware. This deck was built around a saltwater pool using the wrong type of fasteners. Over time, corrosion set in and began compromising the structure. Using the wrong hardware doesn’t just cause rust, it can shorten the life of the entire deck. Trust a company that builds it right the first time #valhalladeckandpatio #deckbuilding #deckbuilder #decklife #deck

Warped deck boards slow everything down. Built a board straightener to pull boards tight and keep gaps clean while fastening. #carpentry #decks #deckbuilder #constructiontips #kawarthalakes

Doing things a little differently on this one. Since this is a ground-level deck and the build’s being done solo, the joist hangers are going in early to make the rest of the process easier. Anything that simplifies the work and saves time is a win. And of course, no structure is complete without giving it a quick balance test to make sure everything feels solid underfoot. 😄 Build On. @justinandjessdesigns #buildtuff #tuffblock #DIYCommunity #deck #deckbuild #decking #lowes #homedepot #deckframe #deckandpatio #deckdesign #professionaldeckbuilders #deckframing

“If your house can’t dry, it’s going to die!” Here’s our deck ledger-to-house detail. We use @deck2wall to create proper drainage and airflow so our decks last a lifetime. This is how it works—and how we install it. First saw these used by @risingerbuild on The Build Show. They can be installed with Simpson SDWS screws or carriage bolts—here we went with the SDWS option. Superior product. Roughly 90% of the deck failures we see happen at this connection, which is why getting this detail right is critical. (Sorry for the muffled audio in spots—windy day on site!) #passionforcraft #builder #carpenter #deck #buildscience
