  2. Planning and Design • Deck size and layout: Measure your space and determine the shape of your deck. • Material selection: Choose between pressure- treated wood, composite, or cedar. • Building codes: Check local zoning laws for setback and height restrictions.

  3. Marking and Digging Footings • A solid foundation is key to a sturdy deck. Here’s how to lay the groundwork: • Mark your post locations: Use stakes and string to outline your deck’s footprint. • Install post brackets: These secure the deck posts to the concrete footings. • Hiring a deck contractor in Calgary ensures these steps are done correctly, avoiding future issues with shifting or settling.

  4. Installing the Ledger Board • The ledger board connects the deck to your home, providing essential structural support. • Choose a sturdy board: Typically, a 2×10 or 2×12 is used. • Secure it properly: Use lag bolts and flashing to prevent water damage.

  5. Setting the Posts and Beams • With footings in place, it’s time to install the vertical posts and support beams. • Secure the posts: Attach them to the brackets on the concrete footings. • Ensure proper spacing: Generally, posts should be no more than 6 feet apart. • -nstall beams: Beams should be fastened using carriage bolts for extra strength.

  6. Adding Railings and Stairs • If your deck is more than 24 inches off the ground, railings and stairs are required. • Choose sturdy materials: Wood, aluminum, or composite railing options are available. • Follow height regulations: Railings must be at least 36 inches high in Calgary.
