Got this little front porch framed up super quick!! Next up, a pergola to go on top! 😎 #porch

What happens here

Workers are shown carrying and positioning long pieces of pressure-treated lumber. They begin by establishing the perimeter beams of the deck. Subsequently, numerous floor joists are installed parallel to each other, creating the robust sub-structure for the deck surface. This forms the elevated platform that will serve as the base for the porch and potentially a pergola structure, although a pergola is not explicitly built in this video.

Goal: This step involves laying out and assembling the primary structural frame of the wooden deck, including main beams and floor joists.
