Techniques for building basic to
sophisticated decks
Here's the hands-on information you need to build any kind of
deck-- from the most basic to the most sophisticated.
On this tape, professional carpenter Scott Schuttner builds two
decks--one a simple, single-level deck that demonstrates the basic
principles of deck construction; the other a custom wraparound deck
complete with stairs, planters and built-in seating. At each step of
the deck-building process, you see firsthand how Schuttner uses his
proven, professional techniques to get high-quality results.
In Building Decks, Schuttner shows you how to:
- Dig and pour footings
- Install leak-free ledgers
- Build framework that's square, level and solid
- Make planters, stairs and built-in seating
- Install strong, good-looking railings
- Apply finishes
No matter what your skill level, seeing Schuttner at work will
help you tackle your next deck project with confidence, This tape is
a companion to Schuttner's book, Building and
Designing Decks.
