Installation Checklist
Building code and zoning requirements Check deed restrictions, building codes and/or zoning laws to make sure your deck complies. Check with local utility companies to make sure deck construction will not disturb piping or wiring. Deck function While planning your deck, determine how it will be used. Your climate While planning your deck, consider local weather. Take advantage of good views. Install ledger Install ledger to anchor deck to house. Ledger placement determines the deck floor level, normally 2-4" below floor line. If unsure about attaching a ledger board, consult a professional. Use batterboards and mason's string to mark off deck area and locate footing. Square with string Attach string to ledger and/or batterboards. Batterboards go just outside perimeter corners of the deck. Use the 3-4-5 method to get a 90 degree angle in one corner. Install posts Footing/posthole depth is dictated by local codes. Check with local utility companies to make sure deck construction will not disturb piping or wiring.

Installation Checklist
Post bracing Brace posts as dictated by local codes. Attach beams to posts Determine the desired deck floor height on the posts. Determine height for securing the top of the beam to the post. Attach joists Joists are attached to ledger board with joist hangers or by toenailing. Determine where blocking will go and snap a chalk line, but make sure to stagger pieces for ease of nailing. Lay decking Attach boards "bark side up" to minimize cupping and warping. The deck boards can be trimmed after they are installed. Railings Railings must be firmly attached to the framing members of the deck. Check for local code restrictions on railings. Stairs Check local codes on stair restrictions. Measure the rise and run of the stairs. Multi-level decks When planning a multi-level deck, for aesthetics make one deck larger than the other.

Tips for success: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. When cutting or drilling wood, always wear eye protection to prevent injury from flying wood particles When cutting lumber, a fabric breathing mask will help to avoid ingestion of the dust. Wear gloves as the surface is rough and can cause splinters. For outdoor projects, nails and other hardware should be hot-dipped zinc-coated or equally well-protected material to keep them from rusting. To help prevent splitting, drill pilot holes in each piece of lumber before nailing or screwing. Make sure to treat your deck to prolong its lifespan. Before you apply a finish on your deck, test for moisture by sprinkling the surface of a small area of the deck with water. If the droplets bead up, the wood is still wet. Wood that is dry enough for treatment will quickly soak up the water. Deck finishes come in both water and oil based. While oil-based finishes penetrate deeper into the wood, water-based products are easier to clean up and are more forgiving in damp conditions. When applying finish or cleaner to your deck, protect surrounding vegetation by wetting with a hose and covering with plastic. Invest in a pair of kneepads if you are doing floor jobs or working on a deck. Dispose of scraps in the regular trash or take to a landfill - never burn.

Lowe's does not assume any responsibility for design, engineering, or construction; for the use of installation of materials; or for compliance with any building code or standard of workmanship. Always refer to information on fastener packaging for use with pressure treated lumber. Preferences: Certain assumptions have been made in order to provide an accurate material quote for your Deck Project. Because local codes vary throughout the country, it is imperative that you check with your local municipality for compliance with local building codes. The following building practice assumptions have been made in providing the materials for your project: Footer Depth: Footer Type: Joist Cantilever: Joist Spacing: Spacing Between Deck Planking: Stair Stringers: Deck Live Load: Deck Dead Load: Stairs Live Load: Stairs Dead Load: 30 Post On Concrete 12 inches 12" center to center 1/8 inch 10 inches 40 psf 10 psf 40 psf 10 psf
Be sure to check and verify the design with your architect, engineer and building inspector. Note: It is recommended that joist that meet on top of beams should be spliced with gussets. The gussets should be 2- by wood the same width at the joist and overlap by 6 inches on each side.These gussets should be held in place with 12 16d galvanized nails.
