The decks were completely removed down to the existing cantilevered, 6×6 angle steel that was embedded in the building structure, first constructed in the 1970s. Any oxidized steel that was significantly compromised was repaired prior to installation of the new deck structure.

The new decks consisted of new pressure treated ledger boards that were fastened with Hilti 1/2″ threaded rod with epoxy sleeved anchors and new out board beams bolted to the angle steel. The steel need to be punched to receive the new bolts and clips to support the beams. New pressure treated floor joists were installed 16” on center to meet code and the manufacturer’s recommendations for the composite decking. Band boards of 2×12 were installed with 5/4×6 Timbertech decking set inside with blind fasteners.

The railing system consists of high quality, engineered aluminum posts, top and bottom rails with square balusters. This creates a rigid, safe, code compliant guardrail and aesthetic rail.
