Backyard transformation With Trex Deck and Techo Bloc Patio

What happens here

With the gravel base prepared, the team moves on to constructing the wooden frame for the new multi-level deck. Pressure-treated lumber is used for all structural components, including vertical support posts, horizontal beams, and floor joists. Workers precisely measure and cut the lumber using miter saws and circular saws, then assemble the frame using drills and impact drivers to secure the pieces with construction screws or nails. Levels are continuously used to ensure that the entire frame is plumb, level, and square, creating a sturdy and safe foundation for the deck.

Goal: Build a robust and level multi-level wooden frame for the deck.
