Deck Framing Materials & Fasteners

Just like every building needs a foundation, your deck frame determines the longevity and functionality of your deck. Just about anyone with a saw and screw gun thinks they can build a deck. However, to do it right you need the right design, materials and installation techniques. We build decks to enjoy them, and proper framing ensures long-lasting enjoyment of your backyard oasis.

Northwest Deck and Patio can supply all framing materials, concrete, fasteners and hardware needed. We analyze your design and need to build a custom package of framing materials that are designed for acceptable building practices to meet or exceed local building codes.

Stair Framing

One of the more difficult aspects of deck framing is the stairs. We can take all the guesswork out of that. By simply providing the exact height of the finished deck from the landing of the stairs, our deck installation professionals can design and pre-cut the stair stringers needed to build the steps. This will meet all code, safety and strength requirements and allow you to easily build your own safe and strong stairs.
