Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Attach a wooden ledger board to the side of the house where the new deck will meet the existing structure. Position the board level and secure it with appropriate fasteners, such as deck screws. The ledger board serves as the main attachment point for the new deck's framing, although this particular 'floating' deck will not be structurally attached to the house.

Goal: Provide a level attachment point for the new deck framing

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Driving screws into the ledger board
  • Deck Screws — Securing the ledger board to the house
  • Ledger Board — Acting as a guide and spacing for the deck framing against the house
