We’ve been framed 🤷🏼‍♂️. #shorts

What happens here

As seen in some segments of the video, deck projects often involve multiple sections or extensions to create a larger, more complex outdoor living space. This step focuses on framing any additional sections beyond the initial main deck area. This might involve setting additional posts and beams further out from the house or creating cantilevered sections. The process repeats the principles of securing new ledger-like attachments (either to existing deck beams or new house connections) and installing parallel beams on supporting posts. The video shows workers extending the frame outwards and around corners, suggesting the creation of these secondary or multi-level areas.

Goal: Expand the deck's footprint by adding secondary or multi-level structural elements.

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw — Cutting lumber for extensions
  • Cordless Drill / Impact Driver — Driving fasteners
  • Fasteners — Connecting new lumber components
  • Level — Ensuring new sections are level and plumb
  • Measuring Tape — Accurate measurements for new sections
  • Post Anchors / Post Bases — Securing new posts to concrete footings
  • Treated Lumber — Building the support for extended deck sections
  • Concrete Mix — For additional footings if new posts are required
