method
Once
the design has been agreed and an order placed, you are given an idea
of when to expect delivery of your timber and the installation to start.
Although construction methods can vary depending on the terrain the following methods are common for most of our decks.
We support the deck framework using the American post and double beam system, this technique provides equal support for all joists and is commonly used on most elevated decks.
Depending on the size of the
deck day one is usually ground preparation and
frame work day, during this process the ground is removed if necessary
to allow the bulky framework to fit at the correct elevation, once complete
the outer framework of the deck is constructed, followed by the beams
and joists.
Holes
are dug and concrete is poured in to secure the support posts in position.
If the handrail option has been chosen the newel posts are then bolted
to the inner framework and deckboards are the screwed to joists.
Once
built we will surround the perimeter of the deck with facia boards.
