When is a railing required on a deck?

• <div><p>Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/railing-requirements-for-deck.htm">railing requirements</a> stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.</p></div>

How much does it cost to replace a porch column?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-replace-porch-columns.htm">cost to install a porch column</a> typically runs between <b>$300 and $600</b>, although it can range as low as<b> $300</b> or as high as <b>$2,500.</b> Most homeowners will pay about <b>$400 </b>for a porch column. The materials you choose and whether the column is ornamental or load-bearing will impact the final cost.</p></div>

Q: How long will landscape timbers last in the ground?

• <div><p>Landscape timbers can last <b>10 to 20 years</b> in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.</p></div>

Q: Should you nail or screw deck boards?

• <div><p>You can either nail or screw deck boards according to your preference. We recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws in this guide because screws offer superior holding powder over time. If you&rsquo;re using screws, you can minimize the risk of cracking the boards by drilling small pilot holes before securing the boards to the deck joists. </p></div>

Q: Do you need to winterize a screened-in porch?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-winterize-a-screened-in-porch.htm">Winterizing a screened-in porch</a> can help extend its life and prevent damage to your porch, furniture, and decor. Removable winterization methods like vinyl panels or vinyl sheeting will allow you to fully enjoy your porch in warmer weather while protecting it from damage over the winter. </p></div>
