10 Considerations When Building a Deck:
- Check with your local building department before building your deck.
- Make sure you follow the proper guidelines as indicated in your local by laws e.g. if attaching a deck to your home, there may be height restrictions and approved fastening procedures.
- Ensure that you do not disturb any underground utility lines, or restrict access to them. Please call for hydro and gas inspections prior to digging.
- Decide if this is a project you want to build or have Merrett Home Hardware Building Centre install it for you.
- Consider future uses for your deck, like adding a hot tub or building a pergola etc.
- You may also want to add railings to your deck.
- Decide what materials you want to use e.g. treated, spruce, or cedar decking or you may consider using composite for durability.
- If using wood, you may want to use one of the many finishing products (stains etc.) from Home’s selection.
- Adding a deck to your home also adds value to your property.
- Having the right tools make the project easier… don’t forget our complete line of rental tools!
