UNBELIEVABLE Backyard MAKEOVER! Boring Backyard Turned Into Decked Out Paradise!
What happens here
Once the foundation is set, construct the main deck framework using pressure-treated lumber for joists and beams. Ensure proper spacing and secure fastening to create a robust and level base. This phase includes the initial framing for multiple deck levels and integrated stairs. Specialized adjustable post bases are used to connect the wooden posts to the helical piles, allowing for precise leveling.
Goal: Build the complete wooden framework for the multi-level deck and covered patio.
