My name is Christian Hughes I am a proud owner of Good Ol’ Boys.\nWhen I first started the company I worked for many others over the course of many years and recognized countless mistakes that I have learned from. \nIf the service was good the communication wasn’t. If the work was done wrong the sell pitch was higher and so forth and so wrong! \nThe Good Ol’ Boys CO. Was founded due to people cutting corners and a couple of guys tired of seeing customers not getting what they deserved. \nWe do it right every time and the first time, because your time is valuable and so is ours. \nWe will always listen to the customer, give our advice and make sure everyone is happy at the end of the day. \nIf you ever need ANYTHING done Id Highly recommend to call us Good Ol’ Boys first, because if we can’t do it we know somebody that can. \nGod bless. Stay safe and have a wonderful day. \n-Christian Hughes Proud Owner Of Good Ol’ Boys CO.\n

"Andrew is honest, reasonably priced and a hard worker. He repaired my barn roof after the hurricane and he shored up the supports for my other barn. I could not be more pleased with his work and professionalism. Plus, he’s just plain nice. He’s about to build me a shed for my well and storage tanks. I plan on having his skills applied to other projects I need done. I simply cannot praise him enough."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
