How Does Green Shield Deck Builders Frame Decks?
Deck framing is the underlying structural skeleton that supports everything above it.
Video Description
Deck framing is the underlying structural skeleton that supports everything above it. Composed of a synchronized system of posts, beams, and joists, this framework bears the entire load of the outdoor living space.
A deck is only as strong as its foundation. That is why every build is engineered to last a lifetime, starting from the ground up:
- Below the Frost Line: Our team sinks footings deep beneath the frost line to prevent ground heaving and structural shifting during seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.
- 6x6 Posts: Green Shield utilizes heavy-duty 6x6 timber posts rather than standard 4x4s to provide superior load-bearing capacity and resistance to warping.
- Premier KDAT Lumber: Our frames utilize Kiln-Dried After Treatment (KDAT) lumber, ensuring a structurally stable, warp-resistant base that lasts for decades.
