Building your own deck easy says Doug Macaulay
Whether you're just a
beginner with a hammer and
saw, or an experienced
carpenter, you can build your
own deck behind your house,
says Doug Macaulay of Ball -
Macaulay Limited of Clinton.
No matter what the size of
the deck, whether it be a
modest, but comfortable
eight by eight; foot model, or a
sophisticated, multi-level
deck that features the
ultimate in outdoor living,all
can be built by the home
owner, or if you wish, Doug
can recommend one of the
dozen competent local con-
tractors to build it for you.
Forthe experienced do-it-
yourselfer, Doug has ready to
go kits that include all the
plans, hardware and wood to
build a complete deck, or if
you wish, Doug and most of
the other lumber yards in the
area have plenty of books
available with plans and
ideas for a wide range of
decks, or let your imagination
loose, and design your own
deck,
Bring your ideas into Doug,
or any one of the local,
building supply dealers, and whether the deck meets
they'll help you figure out building code standards, and;
figure out what and how
much materials you need,
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you can build your own deck; says Doug
Macaulay of Ball -Macaulay of Clinton. Use either one of the deck kits or custom design
your own deck from the many books available. Doug, like most lumber yards, also have
plenty of free experienced advice.(staff photo)
right down to the last nail.
Some dealers will even loan
you the tools to do the job, and
come to the site to give you a
verbal start.
And it need not be an ex-
pensive deck either, says
Doug, not with pressure
treated lumber around in
excellent quantities.With the
price of the tradition woods
like cedar and redwood,
skyrocketing out of site,
pressure treated wood has
proven to be an excelent
alternative, in fact; many say
better than the tradition
woods.
The wood, treated with the
time tested Wolmanizing,can
easily be painted or stained,
or left to weather naturally,
.and the cbst is only a fraction
of the cost of th,e other woods.
. But now is the best time to
start the deck, to get a full
summer's use out of it, and
you'd be surprised how
quickly it can be built.
