Building a Hand Crafted 2 story deck #2 4K
What happens here
Utilize a specialized compact track spider boom lift (cherry picker) to safely raise the prepared timbers and workers to the second-story level. Carefully position the main support posts and beams into their designated locations, ensuring they are level and plumb. Use an impact driver to securely fasten the horizontal beams to the vertical posts, employing large wood screws or lag bolts. This forms the foundational framework for the upper deck, providing stability and support.
Goal: Erect the main structural posts and beams for the upper deck.
