Installing Deck Footings In The Snow + Helical Pile FAQ
What happens here
After the helical piles are driven to the required torque and depth, they are cut to the precise height needed for the deck's framing. The cut ends are then treated with a galvanized coating (spray paint is shown in the video) to protect against corrosion. Finally, the specialized mounting brackets (pile heads) are installed on top of the cut and coated piles. These brackets provide a secure and level connection point for the deck's beams, completing the helical pile foundation.
