Deckorators Venture Deck with Ultralox Aluminum Railing

Build a deck with Deckorators Venture decking, Venture or PVC fascia, Ultralox aluminum baluster railing, Southern Yellow Pine lumber frame, and Diamond Pier footings. 

Quantities needed for each item may vary depend on your home's layout, yard grade, and personal preferences.

Railing Posts

Surface-mounted posts can be screwed to deck framing and blocking at evenly spaced intervals, and then have the panels secured to the sides of the posts.

36"-40" posts can be used on the deck surface between level panels, and 42"-47" posts should be used at the bottom of any stair panel section.

Railing Panels

Level or horizontal panels can be used on the deck surface, and stair panels can be used for angled sections running down stairs.

Deck Boards

Floorboards for the main deck area, and non-grooved boards for borders and stair treads.

Decking Fasteners

Hidden fastener clips for grooved boards, screws with plugs for borders and treads, or color-matched face screws for straightforward installation.

Fascia Boards

12" fascia boards can be used to cover the vertical faces of the deck framing. When 8" riser boards are available, they can be used for each stair riser.

Nearly all composite collections have 8" and 12" wide profiles, most PVC collections will only have 12" wide profiles.

When closing off the stringers and 12" fascia is not wide enough, two 8" risers can be used side-by-side.

Fascia Fasteners

Screws are specifically designed according to the type of fascia being used: wide-head for WPC fascia, trim head for PVC fascia.

Framing

The bones of the deck: 2x10/12 material for beam, ledger, and joists, as well as footings and support posts.

Framing Connectors and Fasteners

Fasteners and galvanized connectors for attaching framing members to each other.

Flashing, tape, and SDWS screws for waterproofing and securing the ledger to the house wall.

Stair Framing and Hardware

Stringer material, stringer connectors and screws, subtreads, and joist tape for waterproofing the cut stringer faces.
