At Twin Decking we feel that our standards are what some would consider extras. Our standard deck features consist of:

Support posts - 6"x 6" rough sawn cedar attached to concrete pier with 6"x 6" adjustable post base.

Ledger board - 2"x 10" P.T. pine attached to house with 1/2"x3 1/2" lag screws 16" on center.

Joists - 2"x 10" P.T. pine attached to ledger board 16" on center with approved joist hangers.

Beam - (2) 2"x 10" P.T. pine attached to support posts with 1/2"x 6" carriage bolts. With cedar decks rough sawn cedar material will be used when using external beams.

Decking - 2"x 6" decking boards, screwed down with coated deck screws.

Fascia - 2"x 12" P.T. pine for P.T. decks, 2"x 12" rough sawn cedar for cedar decks and (2) 1"x 6" for Trex decks. 

Railing - 36" high, 2"x 2" balusters, 6"x 6" post every 5-7 ft. attached with 1/2"x 6" carriage bolts, 2"x 4" rails, 2"x 6" cap rail (rails toe nailed).

Stairs - 42" width, three 2"x 12" stringers, 2"x 6" treads, 6"x 6" end posts, 2"x 2" balusters, 2"x 6" cap rail.

We use deck screws to secure all of our decking boards, treads, and balusters. The standard quality and amount of hardware we put in our decks, we believe, is better than any other.

Some optional features we offer are the Deckmaster hidden screw system, and Deckorators ceramic-coated aluminum balusters. For a complete list of add-on and optional features please contact us.
