What happens here
For multi-level or elevated deck sections, install vertical support posts that extend from the foundation to the desired height. Secure additional beams to these posts to support the upper level joists. This may involve using specialized hardware or techniques for strong connections. The video shows the use of a material hoist to lift heavy beams into place for an elevated section, demonstrating the scale and complexity of such a build.
Goal: Extend the deck's framework to create elevated sections or additional levels, often requiring vertical posts and additional beams. This adds complexity and dimension to the deck design.
