Description
- This application claims the benefit of and incorporates by reference U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/759,230, Filed Jan. 17, 2006.
- One of the problems associated with building wooden decks is that of quickly and efficiently leveling the deck frame or rim joists on the deck supports or posts and efficiently adding balusters which are accurately spaced-apart on the deck. According to the method for constructing decks of this invention the first expedient is accomplished by using a pair of spaced-apart jacks or leveling members that receive the respective parallel side boards of a rim joist box to horizontally level the rim joist box and facilitate attachment of the rim joist box to corresponding opposite corner posts and middle posts which are typically supported on foundation blocks or an alternative foundation structure or structures. When the leveling process is complete, the jacks are removed and parallel center supports are added front-to-rear to the rim joist box, with accompanying center support posts, also extending to foundation blocks or other foundation structure. Spaced-apart joists are then nailed or screwed side-to-side on the side boards and center supports and decking boards are attached to the joists. Steps are supplied at a selected location or locations between ground level and the decking boards and front and side rails are added to the corner posts and middle posts. Balusters are then spaced-apart between the front and side rails and the rim joist box using a baluster spacer tool and rail caps are added to the rails, to finish the deck.

Theside boards 3 are typically cut 1½ inches short of the total projection of the deck from thestructure wall 45 of thestructure 44, which is illustrated in phantom inFIG. 1 and includes astructure door 46 and a pair ofstructure windows 47, for purpose of illustration. Therim joist box 2 is typically constructed and assembled as illustrated inFIG. 1 typically using nails driven by automatic nail guns and after construction therim joist box 2 is positioned on a projecting pair ofsupport arms 18, that extend from amast 16 which is telescopically or adjustably mounted on asupport 17 of each of twojacks 13.Legs 15 serve to stabilize thesupport 17 of each of thejacks 13 in place and ahand crank 19 is provided in connection with amast 16 in each of thejacks 13 to facilitate raising and lowering of themast 16 and the attachedsupport arms 18 with respect to therespective support 17. Eachjack 13 is positioned as illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 3 in spaced-apart relationship with respect to each other on opposite sides of therim joist box 2 to support theside boards 3 and facilitate horizontal leveling of therim joist box 2, typically using alevel 20. When therim joist box 2 is leveled, typically utilizing thelevel 20, one of a pair ofrear corner posts 9 is seated on acorresponding foundation block 12, extended upwardly and vertically leveled with thelevel 20; such that theback board 5 is located adjacent to thestructure wall 45 of the structure 44 (FIG. 4 ). Theside board 3 and theback board 5 are then nailed or screwed to therear corner post 9, as further illustrated inFIG. 4 . Theback board 5 may be later fastened in like manner to thestructure wall 45. The opposite front corner of therim joist box 2 is then similarly mounted on one of a pair of correspondingfront corner posts 6, extending from support on spaced-apart foundation blocks 12, as illustrated inFIG. 5 of the drawings. Thefront board 4 and thecorresponding side boards 3 are then nailed or screwed to the respectivefront corner posts 6 to complete support of therim joist box 2 at a selected horizontally level height from theground 22 as illustrated inFIG. 6 . It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the selected height of therim joist box 2 above theground 22 is facilitated by operation of the twojacks 13 in concert, as heretofore described. - Referring now to
FIGS. 6-8 of the drawings, when the horizontally leveledrim joist box 2 is elevated to the desired height above theground 22 and is screwed or nailed in place on the respective verticalfront corner posts 6 and the verticalrear corner posts 9, a vertically-leveled side middle post 8 (FIG. 7 ) is located adjacent to the one of theside boards 3 opposite a set of steps to be added and is mounted on afoundation block 12 and attached to theside board 3 using screws or nails (not illustrated). Furthermore, as illustrated inFIG. 8 of the drawings, a vertically-leveledfront middle post 7 is extended approximately halfway between thefront corner posts 6 illustrated inFIG. 6 and is seated on afoundation block 12 and extended vertically upwardly to contact thefront board 4, where it is either nailed or screwed to thefront board 4. A vertically-leveledcenter support 23 is then extended from one side of thefront middle post 7 rearwardly, approximately perpendicular to and beneath thefront board 4 and is the nailed or screwed in place on thefront middle post 7, as further illustrated inFIG. 8 . - Referring now to
FIGS. 9 and 10 of the drawings, a pair of vertically-oriented and vertically leveledside middle posts 8 are spaced-apart on the opposite side of theside boards 3 from the singleside middle post 8 illustrated inFIG. 7 , to define a step location, as hereinafter described. Each of theside middle posts 8 are spaced-apart to accommodate the steps (not illustrated) and are mounted onfoundation blocks 12 and extend vertically, where they are leveled, typically with alevel 20, for contact with the inside of theside boards 3 and are nailed or screwed in place. Anothercenter support 23 is nailed or screwed to the opposite side of thefront middle post 7 and the two parallel center supports 23 extend rearwardly for attachment to a verticalrear middle post 10, that projects upwardly from afoundation block 12 against thestructure wall 45 of thestructure 44, as illustrated inFIG. 9 . Accordingly, when the threeside middle posts 8 are in place on therespective side boards 3 and the center supports 23 are extended between thefront middle post 7 and therear middle post 10, acenter support post 24 is extended vertically upwardly from afoundation block 12 between the respective center supports 23 and is leveled, nailed or screwed in place on the center supports 23, as illustrated inFIG. 10 . - Referring to
FIG. 11 of the drawings, when therim joist box 2 assembly is structured as illustrated inFIG. 10 , multiple, spaced-apartjoists 26 are cut to fit side-to-side between the respectiveparallel side boards 3 and are arranged therebetween, on top of the parallel center supports 23, where they are secured by nails or screws, as illustrated. Thejoists 26 are spaced-apart to a desired spacing and are nailed or screwed in place on theside boards 3 and are typically toe-nailed or screwed in place on the center supports 23, as desired. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 12-15 of the drawingsmultiple decking boards 28 are cut to fit on thefront board 4 and extend front-to-rear, edge-to-edge, tags out and crown down adjacent to each other on thejoists 26 as illustrated inFIGS. 13-15 . The first one of thedecking boards 28 is cut to define a pair ofpost openings 29 in each end thereof, as illustrated inFIGS. 12 and 13 , for fitting over the correspondingfront corner post 6 andrear corner post 9, as further illustrated inFIG. 13 of the drawings. Nails are then typically driven in thedecking boards 28 in alignment with theunderlying joists 26 and nails or screws are driven through thedecking boards 28, into thejoists 26. Thedecking boards 28 are thusly secured edge-to-edge on thejoists 26 and on thefront board 4 andback board 5 in successive adjacent relationship to the notcheddecking board 28 and the rim joist box assembly defines thedeck 1, as illustrated inFIG. 15 of the drawings. Thedecking boards 28 are nailed or screwed in place, both on thejoists 26 and on thefront board 4 andback board 5, as desired. The last one of thedecking boards 28 to be placed on thejoists 26 and thefront board 4 and theback board 5 is notched at thepost notches 30 as illustrated inFIG. 20 , to fit against the respectivefront corner post 6 andrear corner post 9 and the notcheddecking board 28 is nailed or screwed in place, as desired. - Referring to
FIGS. 16-22 of the drawings, a set ofsteps 35 is constructed by arranging a pair ofside stringers 36 in spaced-apart, parallel relationship with respect to each other with amiddle stringer 39 extending therebetween, also parallel to theside stringers 36.Step boards 38 are then measured to a predetermined desired distance between theside stringers 36 and are nailed or screwed in place on theside stringers 36 andmiddle stringer 39, as further illustrated inFIG. 16 . Furthermore, after thesteps 35 are positioned on thedeck 1 as illustrated inFIGS. 17 and 18 ,side stringer spacers 37 are also nailed or screwed in place on theside stringers 36 and themiddle stringer 39, as further illustrated inFIG. 18 . As further illustrated inFIG. 17 , thesteps 35 are positioned against thecorresponding side board 3 which accommodates the two spaced-apart, parallel sidemiddle posts 8 and thesteps 35 and are leveled, typically using alevel 30 as illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 3 and are then nailed or screwed in place to theside board 33. Theside stringer spacers 37 are then nailed or screwed in place as illustrated inFIG. 18 , to complete thesteps 35. As illustrated inFIG. 19 , a pair of spaced-apart, upward-standing hand rail supports 41 are attached to the bottom of thesteps 35 and extend upwardly, where they are vertically leveled, typically by thelevel 20, for receiving a pair of parallel hand rails 40, as illustrated inFIG. 21 of the drawings. The hand rails 40 are typically screwed or nailed in place on the sidemiddle posts 8 and the hand rail supports 41. Thefront rail 32 andside rails 33 are then nailed or screwed in place on the correspondingfront corner posts 6 and rear corner posts 9, respectively, as further illustrated inFIG. 21 of the drawings. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, rail caps 34 are provided on thecorresponding front rail 32 and side rails 33, where they are either nailed or screwed in place, as desired. Rail caps 34 may also be provided on each of the hand rails 40, as illustrated inFIG. 22 of the drawings, as desired. - Referring now to
FIGS. 23-25 of the drawings,balusters 42 are spaced-apart, typically using abaluster spacer 50 and are nailed or screwed in spaced-apart, upward-standing, vertical relationship between the rail caps 34 and thefront board 4,side boards 3 and thesteps 35, as illustrated inFIGS. 23 and 24 of the drawings. Proper spacing and positioning of eachbaluster 42 is effected by hanging thetop plate 51 of thebaluster spacer 50 over thefront rail 32 and side rails 33, respectively, and engaging thetop spacer plate 53 and thebottom spacer plate 54, provided on thespanner 52, against therespective balusters 42, as illustrated inFIG. 25 of the drawings. Application of the parallel, spaced-apartbalusters 42 completes the construction of thedeck 1. - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that construction of the
deck 1 of this invention can be effected using either screws or nails or both, as described above, depending upon the desires of the owner and/or manufacturer. Staples may also be used in some applications. Furthermore, the type of lumber used may vary, although it is preferred to use a treated material, such as treated pine wood, to resist weathering and rotting. Furthermore, the deck can either be maintained in its natural state as built or it may be painted or finished with a waterproofing material, according to the knowledge of those skilled in the art. - It will be further appreciated by those skilled in the art that a first key step in constructing the deck of this invention is the use of the oppositely-disposed, spaced-apart jacks 13, for initially leveling the
rim joist box 2 as heretofore described, to insure that therim joist box 2 assembly is located a desired distance above the ground and is level with respect to the ground. This expedient eliminates the necessity of conventionally leveling each of the respective foundation blocks 12 illustrated in the drawings, in order to maintain therim joist box 2 assembly in a level condition. A second key step is use of thebaluster spacer 50, which eliminates the necessity for vertically leveling theindividual balusters 42. A third key step is using the center supports 23 to pull thefront board 4 straight when the center supports 23 are fitted to therim joist box 2. - While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made in the invention and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
