Hi there,
i'm about to build quite a small deck outside and I have a few issues that i'm hoping someone can help me with:
the level of the deck (it cannot be higher or lower) means that the boards will be going over a vent on the wall (used for vented tumble dryers)
I'm not sure how to cater for this. The vent is finished with a plastic frame with movable slats in it.
secondly, being above the DPC do I need to do anything special with the timber attached to the house, or is it ok just attaching it to the wall? there are actually 2 walls that will have timber attached
lastly, the timber I am using is 3"x2" (was given a load of 3m lengths)
Do I need to buy joist hangers or is there another way of fitting the joists?
thanks in advance for your help,
matt
