Ok, so maybe it&#8217;s more like a tiny house at this point because of all the details Bernard and I had to think about! This space should grow with the girls, therefore, we&#8217;re opting for a modern design with a mix of neutral and bright colors. Phase one of this project is building a deck to support the playhouse. Today, I&#8217;m sharing 5 important things you need to know before building a deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1411\" height=\"1058\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210510_200425408_iOS-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3468\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6021375135080120\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3858885546\"><\/ins>\r\n\t<script>\r\n         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

If necessary, submit all architectural information to your HOA. Also, verify with your city whether or not a permit will be required. I cannot emphasize enough how important this step is! The last thing you want is to build your beautiful deck, only to learn it&#8217;s not within compliance and must be torn down! Our DIY deck and playhouse project were both required to have a 5ft setback from our rear and side property lines.<\/p>\n\n\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6021375135080120\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3858885546\"><\/ins>\r\n\t<script>\r\n         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

The deck foundation needs to safely and properly support your deck. This starts with knowing the depth of your deck footings, which will be set in concrete. Bernard rented a 1 man auger to dig 12&#8243;- 18&#8243; holes for each deck post. This depth will vary based on your geographic location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1411\" height=\"1058\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210508_012457601_iOS-1.jpg\" alt=\"wood deck frame\" class=\"wp-image-3465\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of deck posts required will depend on the overall size of your deck. It&#8217;s recommended that deck posts be no more than 8ft apart. We dug and installed 6 <a href=\"https:\/\/homedepot.sjv.io\/kjRzZn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pressure-treated deck posts<\/a> for our deck.<\/p>\n\n\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6021375135080120\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3858885546\"><\/ins>\r\n\t<script>\r\n         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Pressure-treated lumber is great to use on projects that will be exposed to the elements. They are usually protected from termites, fungal decay, and rotting. The lumber you choose for your deck project will determine whether or not any spacing is required. Dried deck boards should be spaced 1\/8&#8243; apart. If you&#8217;re installing wet boards or pressure-treated boards that have not fully dried, then no space is required. A gap will be created as the lumber dries.<\/p>\n\n\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6021375135080120\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3858885546\"><\/ins>\r\n\t<script>\r\n         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

There are some great products available that are a stain and sealer in one which is certainly a time saver! A protective finish not only provides waterproof protection but also mildew and UV protection as well. These products typically provide at least 3 years of deck protection so be aware that regular maintenance is necessary. We applied a <a href=\"https:\/\/homedepot.sjv.io\/doRLkq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clear wood sealer<\/a> to the non-treated lumber we used to build the deck frame.<\/p>\n\n\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6021375135080120\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3858885546\"><\/ins>\r\n\t<script>\r\n         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns no-bottom-margin is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210510_011146696_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3462\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/neatlyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210513_002914146_iOS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3464\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m so proud of how our deck build turned out and the knowledge we gained from this project will likely serve us in the future.
