Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to repair deck boards?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-deck-building-contractor.htm">who builds decks</a> for advice.</p></div>

Q: What are the spindles on a deck called?

• <div><p>Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.</p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop in extreme cold?

• <div><p>Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don&rsquo;t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening. </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>
