2x4's were used to complete flooring
of the deck. Using 2x4's for the flooring was an important part
in making the deck super strong.
The pictures on this page are all
from April 26th 2006. About 3 years after
they were put up. The treated
wood has held up well.
Four main brace support the deck.
Each is attached to the tree with a 10 inch lag screw and a 8 inch lag
screw. 8x1 inch bolts
hold the brace joints together.
Three bolts are used for this. The top picture shows a side view
of the brace. The bottom pic is looking at the brace turned 90 degrees
head-on.
