  1. HOW TO PICTURE FRAME A DECK

  2. THE TOOLS FOR THE JOB Any good job starts with the right tools for the job. You will need safety glasses, a power mitre or circular saw, a cordless driver, measuring tape, a carpenter square, a cordless drill, exterior-grade construction screws, and other recommended fasteners.

  3. INSTALL BLOCKING Start by blocking in the picture frame whenever a deck board runs in the same direction as one of the joists; additional joists or blocking will need to be installed to ensure that the existing substructure has the necessary support.

  4. Now it is time to cut out the boards for the frame. You can use a circular or mitre saw to cut the deck boards. For any notching around rail posts, a fine-tooth jig saw is recommended for greater accuracy. CUT THE FRAME

  5. FASTENING THE FRAME With the pieces to your picture frame cut and ready to go, it is time to fasten everything together. Remember, you don’t want to use nails for this purpose. Go with exterior-grade screws, using a cordless drill and a tap driver bit to help you along the way.
