Starting The New Back Yard Deck

With the siding finished on the house and the garage, Uncle Glenn and Chrissy’s Dad turned their attention to the deck on the back of the house. Or more to the point: the lack of a deck on the back of the house. We’ve had several pallets of lumber (both real and plastic) sitting on our driveway for a couple of days. These were moved into the garage and the back yard as building commenced.

The decking is starting to go on now!

It took a couple of days to plot out the post holes, dig the post holes and then fill them with concrete, but things went quickly after that. The deck will have two tiers, an upper level and a lower level. The frame for the upper deck went up rather quickly, and the decking was put in place within two days. The lower deck was framed out a few days later.

Framing out the lower deck.

It’s really coming together now. I spent a few hours shoveling pea gravel from our walkways in the yard into the deck foundation. We’ll plant grass over the old walkways later. The deck itself will be covered in Azek decking (plastic wood) in a shade of brown that compliments the new siding. We can’t wait to see the finished product!
