	Deck (building) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Decks are made from treated lumber, composite material, cedar, teak, mahogany and other hardwoods and recycled planks made from PET plastic.
		A deck of a house is generally a wooden platform built above the ground and connected to the main building.
		Larger buildings may also have decks on the upper floors of the building which may be open to the public as observation decks.

	Deck building basics
		When a deck is attached to the side of a house, one end of the deck joists is supported by a level pressure-treated, ledger board bolted to the house frame or foundation.
		Attaching the ledger early in the deck building process establishes the elevation of the deck, as well as its length and relationship to the house.
		Decking boards are usually 2x4s or 2x6s (or a mix of both) and are most commonly nailed off perpendicular to the joists or diagonally.

	Building A Basic Deck
		If we had made the deck slightly bigger, we would have been forced to use 14' lumber, or install the deck boards with some smaller pieces, which is a nuisance.

	Deck Building - Understanding Load Capacity
		The load that is placed on your deck is expressed in pounds per square foot (psf) and the total load or more appropriately, the design load, is comprised of the dead load and the live load.
		The deck itself and anything on top of it exerts downward force which is transferred to all the beams and any ledger boards that are connected to the house.
		And since the deck is symmetrical, the load areas 5 and 6 on the opposite side of the deck are identical.
