Freestanding Deck
BUILD A REDWOOD DECK
FREESTANDING 8 X 10 DECK
Transform the ordinary outdoors into an
inviting entertainment center for family and
friends with the addition of a well-proportioned
freestanding 8 x 10 redwood deck.
This small deck can make a big difference at a garden doorway, next
to a retaining wall or under your favorite tree. It is relatively easy to
build and won’t cost too much either.
First decide the placement and height of the deck. Most building
codes require railings on decks that will be higher than 18 inches
off the ground. You can build a freestanding deck or one that is
attached to the side of your house.
To attach the deck to the house use the simplest anchoring system
permitted by local building codes. A typical design is shown on the
back panels of this brochure.
It is always a good idea to measure and cut as you build for the
most accurate results. Use non-corrosive, hot-dipped galvanized,
stainless steel or aluminum fasteners and hardware. To minimize
splitting, predrill nail holes at board ends.
1. Layout Mark the deck corners with stakes and string. Use a carpen-
ter’s square to help lay out 90° corners. Double check for squareness by
measuring diagonally between the corners. If the two diagonal mea-
surements are equal, the layout is a true rectangle.
2. Footings and posts Simple precast concrete footings with
wood nailing blocks are used in this design. For this freestanding deck,
you will need six. Check local building codes to be sure these footings
are appropriate for your climate. Once your footings are set, place
the 4x4 posts in position.
Post lengths will vary according to the contour of the ground.
Establish the height at one corner and use this to measure the others.
Accurate measurement
and trimming of the
posts can be achieved
using a string level or
a carpenter’s level.
Post tops should be
1 1 2 inches below
the top of the skirt-
boards. This provides
room for the deck
boards. Toenail posts
to the footings.
3. Skirtboards and ledgers The skirtboards can be 2x10 lumber,
which will conceal the 2x8 joists of the deck framing, or they can be
2x12 lumber which will give the deck a more substantial appearance.
First, trim the eight-foot long skirtboards to 93 3 4 inches. After
trimming two 2x4 ledgers to 83 3 4 inches, center them lengthwise on
the trimmed skirtboards, 1 1 2 inches from the top edge. Attach the
ledgers with five equally-spaced 3 8 -inch by 2 1 2 -inch lag screws per
ledger. The ledgers will support the ends of the decking.
Drill two 3 8 -inch pilot holes into the posts per joint, staggering them
to allow for the other skirtboard joint. Use 3 8 -inch by 6-inch carriage
bolts, washers and nuts to attach the long-side skirtboards. Install the
short-side skirtboards next, lapping the ends of the long-side skirtboards.
4. Joists Attach 2x8 joists using metal joist hangers. Leave room so
that the decking will be even with the top of the skirtboards. Space the
joists 24 inches on center, which means the center of one joist is 24
inches from the next. To ensure vertical joists, mark their positions
using a carpenter’s square as a guide. Fasten the joist hangers to the
skirtboard with 1 1 4 -inch joist hanger nails before installing the joists.
Use a scrap piece of 2x8 lumber as a spacer in the joist hangers while
nailing them to the skirtboard. This will assure a proper final fit.
5. Decking Lay the 25 2x4 deck boards on the joists. Do not fasten
the boards in place until you are satisfied with their arrangement and
spacing. Install deck boards bark side up. Predrill nail holes near the
ends of boards to prevent splitting. Attach decking with 16d nails or
3-inch deck screws. Allow 1 8 -inch space between all deck boards
including those next to the skirtboards.
Optional 2x6 decking If you choose 2x6 redwood decking to
cover your deck, you will need 16 pieces and the short-side skirtboards
and ledgers will now trim to 93 1 8 and 83 1 8 inches long, respectively.
Remember to lay out the deck boards before securing them and
to allow 1 8 - inch spaces between all deckboards.
The knotty redwood garden grades, such as
Construction Common or Deck Common, are
top choices for their visual character and econ-
omy. For increased decay resistance, choose
the all-heartwood grades, Construction Heart
or Deck Heart, especially for decking or framing
that will be built on or near the ground.

ATTACHED 8 X 10 DECK
Redwood
For beauty and performance, redwood is naturally superior to
other woods. That’s why it’s the first choice for decks, fences and
most outdoor projects. Redwood retains its beauty outdoors, shrinks
and swells less than other woods and is less likely to warp, split,
check or cup. With relatively little or no pitch, redwood is easy to
drill, saw and shape. Redwood heartwood has natural durability and
resistance to insects and will last longer outdoors than most woods.
Grades
The knotty garden grades of redwood are ideal for outdoor projects.
These grades are beautiful, durable and economical.
Construction Heart/Deck Heart is all heartwood and con-
tains knots; used for load-bearing applications near the ground.
Deck Heart is graded for strength and is available in 2x4 and 2x6.
Construction Common/Deck Common contains sapwood
and knots; used for decking and above-ground uses. Deck Common
is graded for strength and is available in 2x4 and 2x6.
Merchantable Heart is all heartwood and contains larger knots
than Construction grades; used near the soil.
Merchantable contains sapwood and larger knots; used for
fence boards, rails and above-ground uses.
A deck that is attached to a house is supported at the house wall by
a board called a ledger. Building with a ledger eliminates three
posts and footings, and one skirtboard from the deck design. The
ledger must be securely anchored into the house framing (band
joist) in order to support the deck’s weight. Ledger attachments
must also be moisture proofed. Install the 2x8 ledger so that the
decking will be at least 1 inch below the indoor floor level. The
illustrations show the most typical ledger attachment and detail
an alternate technique for using washers as spacers. Both will
allow water to drain away from the house and deck, preventing
water damage. A portion of the siding must be removed where the
ledger attaches to the house wall. Allow room for the skirtboards
that attach to the ends of the ledger.
Washers as spacers
Use stainless steel or
top quality galvanized
washers and install
enough to allow at
least a 1 2 - inch space
between the house wall
and the ledger.

Finishes
Redwood accepts finishes better than most woods. Some heighten
redwood’s natural beauty, bringing out the color and the grain.
Others help the wood harmonize or contrast with surrounding
structures. Read the labels on all finish products before using.
No-finish option Redwood performs better than most woods if
left unfinished. This no-maintenance option will result in redwood
weather-bleaching to a soft driftwood gray.
Clear water repellent finish with mildewcide is recommended
to stabilize the color at tan.
Bleaching and weathering stains produce a permanent drift-
wood gray effect, a good, low-maintenance option.
Semitransparent stains in “redwood” shades tint the wood
without hiding the grain.
Solid-color stains or paints should be applied over compatible

Flashed ledger Trim the galvanized metal flashing to the
length of the cutout. Insert the flashing under the siding and fold
it up and out of the way until the ledger is attached.
Brace the 2x8 ledger into position and drill pairs of 1 4 -inch pilot
holes spaced no more than 24 inches apart through the ledger,
sheathing and into the house framing. Secure the ledger to the house
with 3 8 -inch by 5-inch lag screws and washers, penetrating the house
framing by at least 1 1 2 inches. Where you have through access, use
3 8 -inch by 6-inch carriage bolts, washers and nuts.
Use siliconized acrylic caulking in the bolt holes and around the bolt
heads after securing them in the ledger. Also seal the ends and bot-
tom of the ledger where it meets the house. Fold the flashing over
the top of the 2x8 ledger and bend it to direct water away from the
house and ledger as shown.
