Free Advanced Builder Deck plans - All you need to know about building a deck.There are two main types of decks - decks supported by a ledger attached to the house, and freestanding decks. Common practice is to attach the deck (or porch) directly to the joist system of the home with a ledger board. Proper installation and detailing of the ledger is critical. A better alternative is to construct a freestanding deck supported on all corners by posts to support vertical loads. Here you will find illustrations that are from the Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide.
