Decks must be coastructe(1 in strict confornnance with the details contained herein. If a permit is required, a copy of this deck detail package must be on the job site and available to the inspector during the inspection process. This guide is intended to help provide typical information needed for constructing a deck; however, you will need to have at least some understanding of topical construction practices in order to complete the project. Typical Deck Details revised 2/08 Page 1 of 27 r INTRODUCTION These plans and details are provided to assist you in your deck construction, for obtaining a building permit (when required), or simply to aid you in constructing a deck that does not require a permit. Before proceeding, always check with your local jurisdiction for land use,zoning, or other regulations that may affect your project. When Do I Need A Permit For A Deck? A building permit is required for all decks that are 30 inches or more above grade. A building permit is not required for decks that are less than 30 inches above the ground and not less than 3 feet from a property line. How Do I Use The Plans To GetA Permit? If you need a building permit for your deck, you will need to submit plans of sufficient detail to your local building department to indicate what you want to build. If you are not sure how to draw plans,these plans can be submitted to your local building department for the permit. You will, however, be required to follow the plans and details as provided without any deviation. One thing that will be needed is a site plan that shows an outline of your property(property lines), the house, and outline of where you will be locating the deck and how it will appear. Be sure to indicate any additional existing accessory buildings or structures (shed, pool, retaining walls, etc.). The site plans will need to be drawn to an acceptable scale (you may need to contact your local building department for this), but usually a scale of 1/.31hor 1/41h of an inch equal to one foot or similar is acceptable. Fill out a building permit application, and submit these plans (along with your site plan). After the plans are reviewed and approved, a permit to construct your deck will be issued (some jurisdictions may even be able to review and approve your plans at the counter, so you can leave with a permit the same day). Consult your local city/county jurisdiction for the number of sets of plans required. For information on contacting your local building departments, visit www.BC D.Oregon.gov, and click on Jurisdictions. How Big Do The Footings, Beams, And Joists Need To Be? The detail in these plans will help you determine how big the footings, beams, joists, posts, and ledgers need to be. Much of it depends on the size of the deck, what size beams and joists you want to use, and how far apart you want to place the beams, posts, and footings. General Notes J 1. All lumber shall be grade #2 Douglas-Fir, Hem-Fir, or better and shall be pressure treated (to resist insect and dry rot)in accordance with American Wood-Preservers' Association Standards (Category). Decking material of redwood or cedar does not require pressure treatment as it has a natural resistance to decay. The pressure- treatment category identified below will be identified on the lumber. The level of treatment depends on the use as follows: a. Decking material, railings, joists, and beams must be treated to a Category UC3B. . --": ' b. Posts and other woods located on, in, or in contact with the ground must be a Category UC4B. c. Ally wood less than six inches above the ground or in contact with concrete must be a Category UC4A. Typical Deck Details revised 2/08 Page 2 of 27 r 2. The level of preservative treatment is noted on the tags fixed to the ends of the wood members. Remember, any time you make a cut,treat the cut end of the wood with a paint-on preservative. Cut ends expose the inner untreated wood to potential moisture and insect damage. 3. All nails shall be "common" or"box" galvanized. It is recommended that "common" nails be used. They have a thicker shank and are stronger than "box" nails. 4. New pressure treatment methods use chemicals that will prematurely corrode standard fasteners, hardware, and flashing when in contact with pressure treated lumber; and as a result, fastener and hardware requirements have changed. Note the following: a. All screws and nails shall be hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel. b. All hardware (joist hangers, cast-in-place post anchors, etc.) shall be galvanized with 1.85 oz/sf of zinc (G-185 coating) or shall be stainless steel. Look for products such as "Zmax" from Simpson Strong-Tie or "Triple Zinc" from USP. 5. Decks constructed according to this handout are not designed to support spas or hot tubs. Installation of spas or hot tubs will require additional structural supports. 6. Decks shall not be attached to house overhangs, bay windows, brick veneers, or chimneys. 7. Deck designs that deviate from the conditions of this handout will require a specific plan submission and may require engineering. 8. Inspections: a. A footing, framing, and a final inspection are required on all decks. b. Footing inspections are required PRIOR to the placement of concrete. c. Framing and final inspections may be combined if all portions of the deck framing and mechanical attachments are at least four feet above grade. d. It is the responsibility of the permit holder or the permit holder's representative to notify the city/county who issued the permit when stages of construction are reached that require an inspection. For information on contacting your local building departments, visit www.BCD.Oregon.govand click on "Jurisdictions." 9. All decking material shall be composed of 2x4, 2x6, or five quarter ("5/4") boards. Attach decking to each joist with two 10d nails or two #8 screws. Decking maybe placed from an angle perpendicular to the joists to an angle of 45 degrees to the joists. Decking must have a span length such that each board bears on a minimum of two joists. C10.Plastic or composite decking products may be used as a substitute for conventional wood decking, but installation and span lengths of the substituted material must be in strict conformance with the product listing and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Copies of the manufacturer's installation instructions must be submitted with this handout and permit application. Typical Deck Details revised 2/08 Page 3 of 27 ( • 11.The sizing for footings, posts, beams, and joists are only to be used in areas (counties) that have an elevation at or belowthat indicated in Table 1. Areas above those indicated in Table 1 need to consult their local jurisdictions for snow loading to determine if the area is subject to snow loads in excess of 40 pounds per square foot. If the snow loads exceed 40 pounds per square foot, this document cannot be used. 12. Footings for decks constructed according to this handout shall not be placed on ground with a slope greater than 2 horizontal for every 1 vertical. 13. Decks that are greater than six feet in width and attached to the house with doors, windows or openings below must check the to verify the existing headers over those openings can support the additional load added by the deck. Check with your local jurisdiction for the Oregon Residential Code table to verify. Table 1 Snow Load • (Maximum Elevation for Counties with a Snow Load of 40 psf or Less) Maximum elevation 750 feet: Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Lincoln, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, Yamhill Maximum elevation 900 feet: Clackamas,Marion, Lane, Multnomah Maximum elevation 1,000 feet: Linn Maximum elevation 2,000 feet: Douglas, Josephine, Sherman, Wasco Maximum elevation 3,000 feet: Baker, Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa Maximum elevation 4,000 feet: Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Wheeler Cannot be used in Hood River County (minimum 50 psf snow load) Getting Started To effectively use the information contained in this document, you will need to do the following: 1. Determine if your deck requires a permit. Note: even if a permit is not required, zoning regulations (setbacks) and public utility easement restrictions are still applicable. Before proceeding, always check with your local jurisdiction for land use, zoning, or other regulations that may affect your project. 2. Determine where your property lines are located and what setbacks your jurisdiction requires from the property line to the edge of the deck. 3. Determine if you have any public easements on your property and whether or not the deck can be constructed over the easement, if applicable (in most cases, you cannot build over a public easement). Typical Deck Details revised 2/08 Page 4 of 27 1 4. Determine how big and what configuration you want your deck. Note: The drawings contained in this document may indicate square or rectangular configurations; however, configurations can be diamond, trapezoidal, or other shapes as long as the longest spans are used to determine beam, joist, and footing sizes. The deck can have up to a two-foot maximum joist and/or beam overhang. See Figures 1, 2, and 3. Beams must be support on each end by a post and cannot be supported with beam hangers off the house. (Beams are identified as item "A", posts as item "B", joists as item "C," and footings as item "D.") It is recommended that you first determine the joist span "C," and then note what beam and footing sizes you will need. BEAM, JOIST, AND FOOTING SIZES The span of a joist is measured from the centerline of bearing at one end of the joist to the centerline of bearing at the other and does not include overhangs. Maximum joist span lengths are noted in Tables 2 and 3. See Figures 1 and 2 for joist span types. OPTIONAL.

Tables 2 and 3 provide you with the information to determine how big the footings, beams, and joists need to be. The size will depend on how big the deck will be and how many footings and posts are going to be used; how far the beam(s)will span from post-to-post (or ledger); and how far the joist will span from beam-to-beam. To start with, contact your local jurisdiction to determine what the assumed soil bearing value is for your area. This document has footing details for soils that can support between 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) (See Table 2) and soils that can support over 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) (See Table 3). If you have soil bearing of less that 1,000 psf, you will need to consult with your local jurisdiction. Note: The footing details are based on native soil and not soil that has been deposited on your property (fill) in depths greater than 12 inches. The footing details require a footing that is a minimum of 18 inches in height so the bottom can be located a minimum of 12 inches below the finished grade and extend six inches above the finished grade:' If you have fill material that is greater than 12 inches, your footing will need to extend through the fill to native soil. The footing will need to extend below the finished grade due to the frost depth for your county. See Table 4 to determine this depth. Footings for freestanding decks (those not attached to the house) are not required to be placed below the frost line. Footings for freestanding decks may reduce the footing thickness to a minimum of eight inches.

LEDGER ATTACHMENT REQUIREMENTS General: There are sevy i methods-for attaching a ledger board to the house. How it is attached depends on/how the house is constructed and where the ledger will be attached. Ledger board attachments to the existingexterior wall shall be constructed in accordance wit/Figures 5 thrdugh 7. When attachments are made to the existing house band board, it shall be capable of supporting the new deck. ,If this cannot be verified or conditions at the existing house differ from the details,herein, then a free- standing,deck is required (See section on Free-Standing Decks.). You must verify the existing conditions iii the field prior to applying for a buildingrpermit. the,requirements herein is critical to ensure the structural'stabilityof your deckcee with all /Siding and Flashing: Siding or the exterior finish system must be removed the installation of the ledger board. Flashing is required at any ledger board cnpnecction to a wall of wood-framed construction and shall be composed of copper (attached using copper nails), stainless steel, UV-resistant plastic, or galvanized steel coated with 1.85 oz/sf of zinc (G-185 coating). ,,,, 000 Manufactured Wood'"Joist: The t " 49, wood term MWJ;�'denotes manufactu wood I'joists.

A notch has been added to one side of the Earthwood'",TwinFinish® plank, 5/4 plank and the 2x6 plank. When installing these planks,this marked edge must be laid to the same side for the entire installation for a consistent appearance. The Fascia board has one long edge beveled on the front and back.To ensure a consistent appearance from board to board when installing Fascia,the beveled edge must be laid to the same side.If you rip a piece be sure to note the location of the bevel on the ripped piece to ensure consistency (see bottom of page 3 for more details). • TimberTech Fascia is for vertical applications only and should NEVER be used as deck planks. • TimberTech Floorizon and 2x6 Planks should never cantilever(extend)beyond the edge of deck frame. • TimberTech Earthwood,TwinFinish and 5/4 Planks can extend beyond the last support a maximum of 1". • Always consult local building codes prior to installation.

Fastening TimberTech Through internal evaluation,TimberTech believes the following fasteners work well with TimberTech products. Screws:Use stainless steel or high quality coated deck screws or area of material or mushroom effect may form around the head of the composite deck screws.Fasteners should be installed perpendicular screw.This material may be lightly tapped back into the hole to help cover to deck and driven flush;do not overdrive. Ask your TimberTech the fastener.The use of composite deck screws can also reduce this effect. representative or dealer for additional details. Earthwood,TwinFinish and 5/4 Planks: Use a minimum#8 x 2-1/2"stainless Floorizon Planks:Use a minimum#8 x 2-1/2"stainless steel or high steel or high quality coated deck screw.

Installing TimberTech Floorizon Planks : Never Force Planks Together - (Use hand pressure only) i For proper ventilation to reduce moisture buildup from beneath the deck there must be a minimum I 12"high unobstructed continuous air space along at least three sides of the deck to allow for cross-ventilation. This should be located just below the bottom of the deck joist. The use of a lattice panel is permitted as long as the lattice openings are at least as wide as the lattice slats. 12' Floorizon planks are not recommended for dock applications. II 6" In some limited applications,including decks built against an (vertiGrain") /// inside corner,additional ventilation will be required where the ,. /7 deck meets the building. s ?r •Floorizon planks should not be used for roof applications 1 ,E ` LL or on-grade applications where the deck joist is less than ' 12' from the ground or enclosed,and proper ventilation cannot be achieved. For these applications use Earthwood, (Brushed) TwinFinish,5/4 or 2x6 planks. •Failure to provide adequate ventilation may result in failure 1.1/2" f y ® of the deck surface and will void the warranty. General Information • Pre-drilling is required in cold weather and when within 1-1/2"of the end of the plank. • Do not use glue or caulk to fasten TimberTech planks or to seal the joint between two planks _ and any other surface.

For factory pre drilled railings at 5"on center spacing,proceed to step 3.If you prefer to equally space the balusters,proceed to step 4.If your rails are not pre-drilled,proceed directlyto step 4. 3.Measure the distance between posts nearthe top and bottom and transfer these measurements to the Universal Rails.Remembering to allow space for the post mounted baluster at each end.The measurement can be centered on a pre-drilled hole or halfway between two.If the baluster at each end of the railing assembly is close to the post- mounted baluster,you may achieve a more balanced look by moving the balusters to an intermediate position.Rememberthat TimberTech baluster spacing must not exceed 5" from center to center.See layout example below. Once layout has been determined,cutthe Universal Rails to length and install the balusters.Proceed to step 5. 4.For equal spacing of balusters only.Calculate the baluster spacing(see calculation example). Intermediate Mark the centers of your balusters on the Universal Rails and pre-drill.Once you have /Intermer finished pre drilling top and bottom Universal Rails,attach your balusters to the two - Universal Rails to create rail assembly.RememberthatTimberTech baluster spacing must not exceed 5"from centerto center. y y x x x 5.0 Ce .Once you have the main rail assembly completed,slide the assembly onto the post-mounted balusters.Baluster retaining lip on the universal rails must be installed to the outside of the deck. 6.Attach the main rail assembly to posts. 7.Attach Ornamental Rail to Universal Rail(top). 8.Cut foot blocks from balusters.Foot blocks are to be 2'-0 on-centers. 9. Place TimberTech Post Caps over posts and fasten with stainless steel finish nails or exterior caulk. 12 Trimming a TimberTech Deck Trim o po ents Fascia oar 12'lengths,10"and 12"wide by 0.60"thick.

Ice and now If you reside in a cold weather climate where ice and snow periodically come in contact with your deck,use calcium chloride or rock salt to melt the ice and snow. Mildew Wash your deck periodically with a cleaner like Zinsser's JOMAX(www.zinsser.com)that contains or is mixed with Sodium Hypochlorite. Follow the manufacturer's application instructions.Use a stiff brush to scrub heavily stained surfaces following the grain. Rinse off your TimberTech deck periodically with a hose. Even if your deck appears clean,it is important to prevent build-up of pollen/debris. Mildew stains may occur where moisture,pollens,and/or dirt are present. Mildew needs a food source to grow, which can be grass,pollens,dirt,debris,wood and wood resins. Maintaining a clean,dry deck surface is the best method for combating mildew. Ensure that water drains effectively from your deck. * Keeping weep holes clear and unclogged on TimberTech Floorizon Planks. For TimberTech Earthwood,TwinFinish 5/4 and 2x6 planks, be sure that gaps exist between planks to allow for drainage. Spot Stains Oil Eater Cleaner and Degreaser is very effective against oil,grease and other stains.For extra heavy oil and grease stains or other specific stain types,check with your local lumberyard,hardware stores or home centers for cleaners applicable to a specific stain type. If stains have set,you may want to use fine sandpaper and sand lightly,following the wood grain finish of the plank.The sanded area will weather back in approximately 8-10 weeks. Rust, round-in Dirt and Grime Use a cleaner that contains Phosphoric Acid or Oxalic Acid. Follow manufacturer's application instructions. If the stains have set,you may use fine sandpaper and sand lightly followed by a wire brush to re-grain the decking. Always follow the wood grain finish of the plank. The sanded area will weather back in approximately 8-10 weeks but can very depending on location and specific application. Scratches, Nicks, Cuts and Grooves For all products except TimberTech Railing,scratches,nicks,cuts and grooves can be eliminated by using a wire brush.Brushing will need to be consistent with the grain of the product and the brushed area will weather back in approximately 8-10 weeks. Tannin Stains Like any wood based product,TimberTech may experience a naturally occurring process called Extractive Bleeding. This process may cause a temporary discoloration that will weather away. In most cases this process takes 8-10 weeks but could vary depending on location and specific application such as a covered or screened-in porch. To clean these areas on your TimberTech deck,it is recommended that you use a product such as Dekswood,manufactured by Flood www.floodco.com(800)321-3444(available at most home centers and hardware stores),Composite Deck Restorer from PSC Solutions www.psc-solutions.com(800)354-2926. Painting/Staining/Sealing Stains and sealers that are recommended for use with TimberTech are: • Cabot Clear Solution-Oil Based(www.cabotstain.com) • Cabot Australian Timber Oil(www.cabotstain.com) • Weatherall UV Guard Deck and Fence Coating(www.weatherall.com) • Weatherall UV Guard Exterior Wood Finish(www.weatherall.com) Wait approximately 8-10 weeks or until TimberTech has completed its weathering process before painting or staining. Clean your TimberTech decking surface prior to applying paint or stain. Never paint or stain over surfaces that may contain dirt,or mildew. Be sure paint or stain does not clog drain holes in the TimberTech Floorizon Planks. Once TimberTech is painted,stained or sealed, subsequent applications will be necessary to maintain appearance. TimberTech cannot be responsible for the performance of stains or paints applied to any TimberTech Engineered Decking Systems product. Always apply paints and sealers in accordance with the manufacturer's application instructions. 14 1 • ..,.._. 0. .. . ,• r .. • , .. , * , • ' • ''• %-- 4• 4.;.-A." ... i ,_ „_.,. , . • X ., ... • ..•-,Z ,,, 16161/1*.- linaPPree:liAtiStbitieilc":.;: Name: "..aiii ...
