Deck Framing 101 with Prowood True Frame Joists!

What happens here

A laser level is used to project a precise horizontal line, establishing the exact height for the deck's main structure. The worker then uses a hammer to gently tap the post down or adjust its position until its top aligns perfectly with the laser line, ensuring a level deck surface. The post is temporarily secured with the existing concrete pier hardware.

Goal: Set the post to the correct elevation
