Tom Silva helps two homeowners build a two-level deck from start to finish.
SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.
Ask This Old House’s Tom Silva takes you through how to add a deck to your home by helping two homeowners build the deck of their dreams.
After setting string lines and batter boards to mark the locations for the concrete footings, Tom digs 4-foot deep holes for the footings using a power auger.
Next, they set cardboard tubes into the holes and filled them with concrete.
They then frame the deck using pressure treated lumber and galvanized steel hardware. After setting the posts on the footings and attaching the ledger board to the house, Tom installs joist hangers to the ledger and beams to support the ends of the joists furthest from the house.
With all of the framing completed, Tom installed the deck boards and railings using a very dense wood called ipe.
Where to find it?
All of the ipe decking, 4x4 posts, and balusters for this project were provided by Anderson & McQuaid Millwork
Tom used a pneumatic hidden fastening system to secure the decking to the framing. It is manufactured by HidFast Deck Fastening System
The end-grain sealer is manufactured by Anchor Seal (U-C Coatings Corp.)
The plastic biscuit-type fasteners are manufactured by Eb-Ty
The software that Tom used to create the deck plans is Home & Landscape Design Punch! Software
Tom and the homeowners used a Toro Dingo compact skid-steer loader with an 18-inch diameter auger to dig the holes for the footings. It is manufactured by The Toro Company
The Toro Dingo is available for rent at many locations nationwide, including Richey & Clapper, Inc.

Anyone taking on this project themselves should add flashing that goes behind the siding and over you ledger board. The way they showed you here has all of the water from the siding shedding directly on the ledger. You don't want that to be the first board that rots.

Yeah my inspector just noted that on my presale. Wish I would have known originally

@kristopherbuchanan974 22 күн бұрын

I literally came on here to say the same thing about the flashing. American wood council recommends flashing past the joist hangers as well. And the lag bolts attaching the ledger should be 1/2”. I’m not a professional or anything i’ve just been reading haha

@haroldwonder446 Жыл бұрын

With respect and my comment is based on my experience as a business person involved with building decks for residential homes. I found that if one mounts the final, what I call a fascia board to finish off the steps or face edge of a deck that that facia board should be overlapped on top by the last top deck board. not as you have applied. And most often you can buy that last board with a smooth edge or without a grove to complete this part of the project. Biggest or main reason is that after a year or so dirt, sand, tree seeds, organic material in general gets in between this final exposed edge. It is even worse for composite material which under the sun will flex outward most times leaving an edge again susceptible to gathering dirt or sand, etc. Then seeds start to grow in that grove leaving a yearly task of cleaning out that exposed grove. Once experienced I changed my application to measure the top board requirement and cutting the first board at the house edge to accommodate a 1/2 inch overlap at the fascia end. Just saying.

When you run a snap line that is level all the way across as Tommy did, and you position the top of the board to that snap line, the top of the board is level all the way across.

@@scotttovey My read of Justin's comment is that the joist hanger bottoms need to be adjusted to reflect the specific board being placed, so the single cutoff block used won't be a good gauge of where the joist hangers should be placed. Am I misunderstanding?

In East Sacramento, the soil is about 12" deep, then you hit hardpan. Basically sandstone. A bear to get through. Some places 100' thick. I used that the my advantage though, under the house. Just dug post holes 2 foot down to the 5' thick hardpan, jacked up beams, and leveled the house. House now sits on stone.

We have a 28 year old ipe deck which I have let age. It is structurally as sound today as it was 28 years ago. If it had been a covered deck I’m convinced it would have maintained the natural wood staining. I used deck hangers eliminating all fasteners on the walking surface.

Awesome layout procedure. Great consulting the local Code enforcement official. The ledger nailing was sketchy. Recommend consulting a professional here. Structural screws are recommended. The direction perpendicular to the ledger is important as well. This requires a look at the house floor framing to insure it is sufficiently connected providing a load path into the deck diaphragms.

I like to lay out all the deck boards convex-side (or future convex side) up and jigsaw-puzzle the order and orientation to get minimal gaps. That way you're not fighting the natural curves (and shapes - some will vary slightly in width along the length) when you install them.

Why do they need the vertical 6x6 posts? They have a truck coming in to pour the concrete for footers and the forms are tall enough to just fill them a bit higher and make concrete columns. The deck is low enough that it wouldn't be using unreasonable amounts of concrete to do it that way. 3 ft below the ground and 3-4 ft above and that's all you need. Some shims to level the beams and you've just saved a ton of labor. Probably saved a bunch of cash too. Is it against code or something?
