NS whitetail Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I built this deck for my Mom's place beside a lake last week. It was a pretty big project when working alone ( my Mom's husband was around abit, but he couldn't pound a nail in a tub of ice cream :p:D:D). I left the stringers of the small deck that she had and added a new 16'X10' deck on to it. I like to call myself somewhat of a "handyman" opps, thought it was last week, but the pic say the 13 th ( where does time go ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Looks good! I would add some angle bracing the other direction also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Looks good! I would add some angle bracing the other direction also! it has posts under the middle of the deck as well ( from exsisting deck ) and there is no movement that way, it is attached to mobile home as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
