Decks can be a beautiful extension of a home and in many ways have become necessity in resell value. It is a great place to spend your time, entertain guests or just relax with friends and family. Although, the usual life span of an average exterior wood deck is about 15 years, older decks can fall without any warning and that is why it is necessary to make several code specific connection points to build a safe and strong deck. Some of the ways by which a safe and strong deck can be build are:
Continuous Load Path: Today, the modern constructors use a continuous load path to transfer the weight through a series of various positive connections all over the structure of the deck. Loads are relocated from the top down of footings to the point of connection till the structure of the home. The use of continuous load paths helps resist lateral movement, uplift and the weight of deck users. Decks need secure connections to have a good continuous load path.
