What happens here
Treated lumber beams are positioned and secured onto the helical pile caps. Vertical posts are erected to support higher sections of the deck or to define corners. These components are typically fastened with structural screws, bolts, and specialized hardware to create a strong and level base for the deck.
Goal: This step involves setting up the primary support beams and posts for the deck, attaching them to the previously installed foundation piles to create the basic skeleton of the deck.
