How To Frame A Deck - Tips For Efficient Building
What happens here
Utilize a mini skid steer to dig trenches and prepare the ground for the helical piles. Install helical piles by screwing them into the ground, ensuring they are positioned correctly and set to the required torque. Use a laser level and measuring stick to achieve consistent height for all piles. The adjustable saddles on the helical piles allow for fine-tuning the height to match the desired deck elevation, which is derived from the installed ledger board.
Goal: Install stable and precisely leveled helical piles to support the deck structure.
