Items You Will Need
• Circular Saw for trimming posts
• Safety Glasses/Goggles
• Carpenter’s Level
• Rubber Mallet
• Tape Measure
   
 

Post Cutting Instructions

The standard post height is 88”. The posts may need to be trimmed to match desired deck height. Always trim from the bottom of the post. Use the following table to help deter- mine the proper amount to trim.

 
 

For a desired deck height of (from ground level)
Use Stair Kit
CENTER ENTRY
Trim the bottom of the posts (HPL, HPR, CP, LP)

  Note: The HJ8 should be approximately 2”-9” below the threshold of your door. The actual amount to trim may need to be adjusted for each post, depending on grading conditions at the site, to achieve a level decking surface
 
1. Begin by leaning the left house post (HPL) and right house post (HPR) upright against the struc- ture. Face the two connectors away from the structure and the notched side of the posts toward each other. Slide the house joist (HJ8) onto the house posts, ensuring the middle con- nector faces the deck. Lean assembled H-frame against the house or structure. Secure joist in place by tapping with a rubber mallet. Check house joist (HJ8) for level.  
 

2. Slide an 8' handrail section (RS8) onto a corner post (CP), making sure the middle connector on the handrail and the corner post connectors on the adjacent side of the post face toward the deck. This is best achieved by lining up the longer bot- tom connectors prior to sliding the connectors together. Slide the opposite end of the rail section (RS8) onto the right house post (HPR). Secure to posts by tapping each side of rail section with a rubber mallet. Repeat for opposite side rail.
 

3. Slide front center entry rail section (RS8C) onto each corner post (CP) and secure by tapping with a rubber mallet. Note: The 8' rail sections are interchangeable. A center entry rail section can be placed in any 8' rail location which gives you multiple stairway position options.

 

4. Connect the 8’ sub joist (SJ8) to the front rail section (RS8C) and house joist (HJ8). One at a time, install 4’ sub joists (SJ4) to the 8’ sub joist (SJ8) and rail sections (RS8) to complete the deck frame. Secure all joists in place by tapping with a rubber mallet.

 
  5. Check the completed deck frame for square and level. Square by measuring the frame diagonally from corner to corner. The frame is square when these measurements are equal. If joists or rail sections are not level, be sure all connector plates are completely in place. The posts may need blocking to level the frame.
 
6. Lay the pre-assembled 2’x8’ deck panels (FS28) into place. Direction of the boards is based on preference. For best appearance, place them par- allel to the house. Once all panels are in place, fasten each deck panel to the sub joist and frame supporting it. There will be three j-bolts used for each section. Slide each j-bolt through the eyebolt that is pre-attached to the bottom of the frame of the deck panel and hook around the deck frame or joist. Finger-tighten each j-bolt with a washer and wing nut. It helps to weigh down the top of the deck surface while installing the j-bolts.
 
7. One at a time, slide stair rail sections (SRL and SRR) onto center entry rail connectors (RS8C).
 

8. Place pre-assembled stair tread panels (ST1) in place beginning with the tread closest to the deck. Secure each tread in place by tapping with a rubber mallet.

 

 

 Add-on and projection kits are easily added to the 8’x8’ starter deck
Expanding your 8’x8’ starter kit to an 8’x12’
 

1. Begin by removing the j-bolts and then floor panels (FS28). Remove the 4' joist (SJ4) on the side you’re expanding and then the side rail section (RS8).

2. Replace the front corner post (CP) with a line post (LP). Slide a 4' rail section (RS4) onto the corner post (CP) and then line post (LP). This is best achieved by lin- ing up the longer bottom connectors prior to sliding the connectors together. Secure by tapping with a rubber mallet.

3. Replace the house post (HP) with a three-sided sub post (SP3). Make sure the surface without a connec- tor is facing the house. Connect the house post (HP) to the sub post (SP3) with a 4' sub joist (SJ4). Secure by tapping into place with a rub- ber mallet.

Note: For expansions which require placing a support at the center of the deck, use a four- sided sub post (SP4).

4. Slide 8' side rail section (RS8) onto the house post (HP) and corner post (CP) and secure by tapping with a rubber mallet. Connect 8' sub joist (SJ8) to the line post (LP) and to the sub post (SP3). One at a time, connect 4' sub joists (SJ4) from each side of the 8' sub joist (SJ8) to the previous 8' sub joist and the 8' rail section to com- plete the deck frame. Secure all joists in place by tapping with a rubber mallet.

 5. Check the completed deck frame for square and level. Square by measuring the frame diagonally from corner to corner. The frame is square when these measure- ments are equal. If joists or rail sections are not level, be sure all connector plates are completely in place. The posts may need blocking to level the frame.

6. Lay the pre-assembled 2'x8' deck panels (FS28) into place. The boards will need to be placed perpendicu- lar to the structure for an 8'x12' deck. Once all pan- els are in place, fasten each deck panel to the sub joist and frame supporting it. There will be three j-bolts used for each section. Slide each j-bolt through the eyebolt that is pre-attached to the frame of the deck panel and hook around the deck frame or joist. Finger-tighten each j-bolt with a washer and wing nut. It helps to weigh down the top of the deck surface while installing the j-bolts.

Follow these principles to expand  your deck to any size.

EasyDeck Decks are approved for free-standing, one-story residential decks not exceeding 200 square feet. Please consult your local building code official prior
