Out with the old, in with the new Prowood TrueFrame Joists!!
What happens here
With the foundation in place, the construction of the new deck frame begins. This step involves carefully cutting and securing pressure-treated lumber to create the ledger board (attached to the house), support beams, and a dense network of joists. The joists are typically spaced according to local building codes (e.g., 16 inches on center) to provide adequate support for the future deck boards. Workers measure, cut, and fasten the lumber using various carpentry tools, progressively building out the skeletal structure of the deck.
Goal: Construct the structural frame, including beams and joists, for the new deck
