A deck can transform your backyard, creating an outdoor space to enjoy all year round. If you’re planning to build the deck yourself, it’s crucial to make sure it’s framed correctly--if not, your deck will look uneven and could be a serious hazard for you, your friends, and your family. Collapses can occur for a number of reasons, including bad weather and exceeded weight limits. While they are rare, you can’t be too careful when building a new deck for your home. Your deck framing is important—a sturdy frame makes for a sturdy deck, drastically reducing the possibility of your hard work falling apart and putting your loved ones at risk. A well-built deck frame can also increase the lifespan of your decking. By making sure that your frame is strong, you can prevent damage and reduce the likelihood you’ll need to repair or replace your deck.
