How to detail deck railing and design under a deck
We take a different design approach than most deck builders. Posts go in the ground in a plastic sleeve called Post-Protector. Soooo much saved time. We taper our beam ends with a flat spot so we can use a clamp to snug the beam in. And we run skirting--deck boards on edge--to mask the underside of the structure, keep critters out, and add some visual interest on the ground. Spax #8 x 2 1/2 washer heads work great for this connection. And add cable railing so the homeowner can enjoy the view and add to the home's upscale minimalist style. 👉Find out more about the products seen in this video: 🔺Post Protector 6 in. x 6 in. x 42 in.

One of my favorite finishing touches of our clients’ screened porch addition is the deck skirting. My clients wanted to be able to access the space on the high side of the porch for extra storage so we installed two sets of gates. Once stained in my favorite, Moonlit Mahogany, they not only look great but are functional as well.
