  2. Steps to Picture Frame a Deck When we think of decks, it is safe to say that most of us picture something with steps and railings. But that is just one of many different deck styles. Another type, known as a picture frame deck, is a bit simpler to construct.

  3. 03–15 • STEP 1: THE TOOLS FOR THE JOB • STEP 2: INSTALL BLOCKING • STEP 3: CUT THE FRAME • STEP 4: FASTENING THE FRAME • STEP 5: FASTEN INFILL DECK BOARDS • STEP 6: KEEP YOUR DECK LOOKING GREAT

  4. 01 The Tools for the Job • The good news is that most of these items are standard in the carpenter’s workshop. • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions; they should have a list of the tools required to perform the installation effectively.

  5. 02 Install Blocking • Framing and blocking should be level across the tops of the existing frame members. • It is imperative that you do not use nails instead. Consider installing joist/blocking at 12″ on center to give the entire thing a more rigid feel.

  6. 03 Cut the Frame • 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.

  7. 04 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.

  8. 05 Fasten Infill Deck Boards • It is now time to fill in the picture frame. The process is much the same as fastening the picture frame border. • Start by laying and securing boards at the perimeter of your Calgary Decks, measuring the length between the picture frame boards.

  9. 06 Keep Your Deck Looking Great • With the boards installed, you have the option of staining or painting the boards any colour that you wish. • Just make sure that you choose an option that includes a sealer. That sealant is vital for protecting your deck for the long term.
