Deck Building | Woodland Deck Company of Ohio

Deck builder in Northeast Ohio Woodland Deck Company with over 10 years experience shares some
secrets to successful deck building.

From the deck builder:
1. Everything is in the foundation. In Northeastern Ohio, a thirty-nine inch depth is recommended for decks. It
is imperative that you build your deck on solid footing.
2. Deck beams need to be sized correctly for bearing the required load. Use span charts for deck
construction or contact a design professional.
3. Be sure that the joists are properly sized for the span. Deck builders have charts for this as well.
4. We cannot stress enough the importance of flashing on the ledger board in all deck building/construction.
