14' x 22' Backyard Wood Deck
Some minor repairs were required to the wall before we could begin construction on this new deck.
The previous deck was bolted through the vinyl siding and situated on deck blocks, which is not code. After we removed the ledger board, there was water damage present to the wall sheathing along with many ants eating away at the structure. We filled the holes left behind by the lag bolts with a spray foam gap filler from GREAT STUFF. We then replaced two rows of vinyl siding to complete the repair. Finally, we were able to start construction of the new deck!
This is a typical floating deck on a patio stone and limestone base. The 14' x 22' platform provides many flexible options for use, there is plenty of room to include a BBQ, seating area, dining area.
The deck is skirted with 5/4" deck boards to keep animals out and is also a clean finish to the sides.
Across the front of the deck is a large set of stairs with a patio stone and limestone base to ensure no movement while in use. The large set of stairs provides access to the backyard no matter what the layout on the deck may be. It can also be used as casual seating if you have invited too many people to your party!
