Whittington, Deck

This new deck was built to replace a wood deck that was in poor condition. The deck is built over a basement garage maintaining access to the garage with stairs from a mid level deck to the deck which is at the main floor level. It is constructed with treated wood framing, composite deck flooring and composite railing. On this deck we choose to use Latitudes brand composite 1x6 flooring with concealed fasteners, 4x4 post sleeves, 2x4/1x6 railing with 2x2 balusters purchased from Home Lumber Co in Winfield Ks.

This project consisted of a building a 12' x 12' room over an existing concrete storm room and the construction of a 12' x 20' partially covered deck over a concrete walk out basement patio. The treated lumber and Evergrain composite deck flooring and railing was purchased from Home Lumber Co. Floor framing was treated pine 2x10, 24" on center, outside rim joist was covered with 1/2" thick composite skirt board. Stairway framing to concrete patio below was also treated pine with composite skirt board and 2x6 Evergrain composite flooring for treads. Flooring was 2x6 Evergrain composite material drilled and surface screwed. Balusters for railing were Evergrain composite 2x2, 6" on center screwed to rim joist at bottom with a 45 degree chamfer. Top of railing consisted of a Evergrain composite 2x4 vertically, screwed to the balusters and a Evergrain composite 2x6 horizontally on screwed to the top of the balusters and the 2x4 rail. Roofing was done by Mark Bloyer of Bloyer Roofing.
