The deck on this house is installed with a ledger board that is offset from the house by one inch. Blocks were used for spacing and all flashing installed properly prior to mounting the ledger boards. This allows water to drain more easily and prevent trapped moisture from collecting between the ledger board and the walls. Joist hangers were used on all floor joists. Posts were installed on concrete bases which are installed with the base below the frost line where possible. The deck itself was finished later.
