Those warm summer nights are just around the corner and what better way to spend them than outside on a rocking chair in your brand-new porch?! But what if you don't have a porch? Don't fret, we are going to share with you some simple steps to tackle in order to get your project going and done before the summer rolls along.
- Before starting any construction project outside of your home, be sure to check with your local community in case you need some type of construction permit from the city.
- Once that is cleared, choose the location of your future deck and take exact measurements.
- Dig 4 holes around the perimeter for your deck posts. These will be the structures that will ultimately keep your project together.
- Now you are ready to build your frame. Place your wood beams (whatever size you chose to use) and place them in the slots, then screw them in.
- Since this deck is a simple, one-step type, you will need to attach the rest of the deck boards now. Be mindful of the back-breaking chore this may be. Also, be aware of your surrounding and always keep your eyes open to avoild tripping or falling!
Enjoy your summer deck!
