This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in
Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.
Adding a deck to your abode can give you more useful square footage and help you look down on your neighbors. They are a lot of maintenance so only build one if you're ready for that future work. Let's install the structure for a deck!
Here's a gentleman showing us one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- At least 100 square feet of deck structure
- Install beams and joists
- Install ledger board if attached to a building
- Treated wood is ok for this BB
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The place the deck will be going
- Several points during construction
