I want to redo my deck out back. I know what I want. I need a book to buy for lumber loads. Know a good one?
Right now I have a deck that is 2x6 on 24" c connected to the house and sits on a 4x4 skid. I want to keep the skid idea but add one in the center of the span. Tighten up the centers. Expand the deck in both deirections.
I have read for sheds on skids to dig 18" deep trench add crushed rock or 3/8- and compact. Would this be exceptable for a deck? or would it need to be more permanent?
