That is really solid work Mark!:thumbsup:

These may not exactly meet your case, but it might help.

Great work. I like this photo the best of the three. It might be because the wood is wet or the photo is darker, but the wood really shows well.
Steve

is this what you are trying to do?

 

[Fence & Deck]

i love these wrap around stairs, but depending on the height of the deck the stair becomes 50+% of the deck which is a bad thing
better deck i did
what makes these wraps sweet is the continus flowing rail there is a calculation for it, if anyone knows can you please post. i have done this style 3 times and forgot all times

Very nice work. It's a pleasure to see the workmanship and the attention to detail.

Is there one step down from the top left section of the drawing? i wouldn't put the strips where the yellow lines are. I think someone said to put a strip down the center( where the center of the stairs is, but up on the deck) I'm not sure i'd like to see all those cut edges along the deck stairs but not much else you can do.

good luck and post some pics when you get it framed.

Wasn't thinking before posting.

Thank for god for MS paint or else I would be scanning my graph pad :blink:

Just straight down stairs on that 45 portion of the deck to the drivewave/yard. Correct decking will 45 around the corner also so its parallell with the stairs

Where the yellow lines are are you suggesting i run a strip of decking there like that so the mitred angles don't have to butt up?

You can run the decking like this so that 45 degree miters line up with a style strip in between.

 

[Joe Carola]

You can also do this with a little more work.

 

[Joe Carola]

Another decking options with a little extra framing.

 

[redwood]

Joe, can you do one more. Like the first one, except add some 1x or 2x trim along the deck edge. It will give you a little bit of the look of the picture framing in your second drawing with a lot less work, but a little bit more material.

 

[Tom M]

I like pic 3

 

[curapa]

The second one is my preferred method.

I added a piece of 5/4 on the outside. I wrap the outside like this always .

 

[redwood]

There you go, that's the way I do it as well. Either that or I might parallel that outside edge of decking, like the 3rd example.

Now show him the framing for all those methods.:laughing:

 

[stp57]

I like the third one as well, Joe. An aerial shot is one thing, but IMO, the third option while standing on the deck would look great.

[KennMacMoragh]

I like picture 2, I think the third one would look too weird with those little pieces of decking in the corner.

 

[ryanh]

I didn't take into account how the mitres on the original drawing would line up.. I was mainly just trying to get the deck layout so i could show on the plans where the piles where going so i could get my permit and start pouring.

I like that third option the best but i'm not sure how i would frame the joists(2x8).. Back to the graph paper and drawing tonight :whistling

What's the dimensions of the deck?

 

[ryanh]

What's the dimensions of the deck?

uuil

All these nice drawings i have but still no luck drying properly with a program.

- 9 piles every 8-10 feet, 3 ply 2x10 beam 8' from rim joist on house with 2' deck overhang..

I pretty much have all of it drawn up nice except the 45'corner with the stairs.. Should i continue the beam 8 feet out across the 45' or push it out to the edge of the deck(10') to attach the stairs to it?

 

[ryanh]

When the beam angles out on that 22.5 in the front of my house when i cut and angle the beam to change direction i know i can toe nail it to the post but how should i attach the 2 ends of the beam?

Hey joe sorry to bother you but you showed me a picture of how to mitre the corner . Can you show me another example? I'm trying to calculate what angle i have to do with a 5.5" wide board

thanks for reading
