Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: Does the underside of a deck need to breathe?

• <div><p>Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">deck design</a>. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.</p></div>

Q: Does a porch need handrails?

• <div><p>Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30&rdquo; or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a<a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-stair-railings/"> local porch handrail pro</a>, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.</p></div>

Q: Can my deck support a roof?

• <div><p>You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn&rsquo;t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck&rsquo;s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren&rsquo;t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. </p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor&rsquo;s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it&rsquo;s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: How do I divert water from under my deck?

• <div><p>To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it&rsquo;s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home&rsquo;s property value.</p></div>
