Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don’t require digging</a> or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a wooden deck hold?

• <div><p>Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck&rsquo;s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it&rsquo;s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.</p></div>

Q: Why is my deck fuzzy after pressure washing?

• <div><p>Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you&rsquo;d like to remove it more quickly.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean and maintain my winterized porch?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep your winterized porch in good condition. Clean the screens, furniture, and floors periodically, and check for any signs of damage or wear. Depending on the materials used, you may need to reapply sealants or perform other maintenance tasks annually or as recommended by the manufacturer.</p></div>

Q: Can I replace just one spindle, or do I need to replace them all?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely replace just one damaged spindle as long as you can find a matching replacement. However, if multiple spindles are damaged or you can't find an exact match, you might consider replacing an entire section for a more uniform look and structural integrity.</p></div>
