Structural Support & Safety Upgrade! 🛠️🏡💪
Sometimes a dip in a deck isn't from a bad post it's simply because the distance between the supports is too wide for the weight it's carrying. You could definitely feel the sag when standing on this upper deck, which kept the homeowners from using it for a while.
We came in to add the extra structural support this layout needed. We safely jacked up the structure and installed a heavy-duty, pressure-treated post to split the span. Now, the weight is properly distributed, the deck is rock solid, and it’s 100% safe to hang out on again!
Next up: Once the new lumber cures and we find the right paint, we’ll be heading back to give the post a finished coat to match that gorgeous dark ceiling perfectly! 🎨
If your deck has a little too much flex or is starting to settle, let's get it properly supported. Give us a call at Southern Fix It!
