Decked Out & Fenced In  Construction, LLC

Permits

We are familiar with Austin area permit requirements and will provide all drawings, prints, etc. to the that city necessary to obtain the permit. We will schedule all inspections for your city requirements.

Footings

The holes are dug to meet or exceed your city requirements. We pour approximately 16 inches of concrete into the hole, set the post, which is a pressure treated, and then pour concrete around the post or the post will rest upon top of the footing secured by anchor bolts.

Framing

The ledger board, which is the board attached to the house. Prior to attaching the ledger board, we will cut out the siding, flash it using vinyl flashing. If the ledger board needs to be attached to concrete, we use concrete wedge anchors. Our framing joists are standard pressure treated boards spaced at 24 inches on center for straight flooring and 16 inches on center for diagonal flooring. All joists are attached to ledger board using joist hangers. The joist hangers are hot dipped galvanized to eliminate rusting.

Flooring

You can choose to either run flooring straight, diagonal, or multiple directions. Whatever you choose, it will be professionally cut to fit against the house and around objects such as spouting, etc.

Steps

Our steps are cut out of pressure treated 2 x 12’s, and custom made on the jobsite to accommodate your deck to ground level. They will be concreted in, using the same method as the deck footings. The risers, (the back of the step) will be covered with the same product as the flooring on your deck.

Fascia

The exposed pressure treated, which is the outer 2 x 8 around the deck and the sides of the steps, is covered with fascia to match you deck color. You can choose to either have the fascia put on vertically or horizontal. This finishes off your deck so that everything blends in beautifully. This is standard and not an additional charge.

Lattice (Optional)

Lattice is optional and normally not included in the base price of the deck. Should you choose lattice we use a vinyl lattice, normally the color of your railing unless you request different. It is framed using pressure treated 2 x 4’s and we can build a hinged door for access. This provides a nice area to store items underneath your deck.

Stone (Optional)

If you prefer to have stone put underneath your deck, we will do so. First we put down a weed barrier to prevent grass from growing underneath your deck, then cover it with 2 - 3 inches of stone. We put down the stone of your preference. This is normally an additional charge.

Special Notes

We guarantee that all our work will either meet or exceed your city’s code and requirements. All our nails, screws, bolts, and fasteners hot dipped galvanized and guaranteed against rust and corrosion. They are also compatible with the ACQ pressure treated lumber.
