Deck Framing 101 with Prowood True Frame Joists!

What happens here

A long, heavy perimeter beam is carefully set into the metal angle brackets on top of the posts. The worker then uses a DeWalt impact driver to drive structural screws or nails through the bracket holes into the beam, securely fastening it in place. This forms the foundational perimeter of the deck frame.

Goal: Create the main perimeter of the deck frame
