We started on the deck roof.

So we have something to stand on while building the covered area of the deck. I put plywood on the deck. To make it easier to build the roof, I also built a temporary deck over the area where the stairs will eventually go.

Dana came by and helped me put up the posts and beams for the covered area of the deck.


We used 4x6 beams. with 4x4 knee braces.



The 3 posts on the outside of the deck are 4x4 and go all the way to the ground, 2 of which are attached to the deck.


(The ramp will eventually go down alongside these posts.)

The 3 posts near the house are 4x6 and are notched and bolted to the deck beam.
