Duluth Deck
With the previous deck taken
down years ago all that remained were the posts that held it
up. However this was the year for my customer to finally
install a new deck and a bigger deck then what was
previously in place. This will be a 16' x 19' that sits 16
feet up in the air, by far the highest deck I've ever built
in my 32 years of building, nonetheless a challenge worthy
of tackling. The deck will be supported with 6 x 6 post and
framed with 2 x 12 floor joist. Not a light tasks in
the least. Once the upper deck has been complete, I will
then build a landing and stairs for the door below.
