"Nathan, owner of River Bend contracting built a floating deck for me next to my camper at Meridian Bridge RV Resort. I had some specific ideas on the design, which included separate steps and fenced area for my dog. After working with other contractors in the past, communication has become a top priority! Nathan was fantastic! I completely understand construction time lines are estimates and I even contributed to that estimated completion date by adding extras during my deck construction. Every day, Nathan let me know his schedule for the following day. When I left to stay at my permanent home for a couple of days, he sent pictures everyday to show me the progress. I was never left wondering if someone was going to be there working on my deck. The finished deck is outstanding! Nathan is a skilled contractor who completes your project with the same amount of mastery, pride and perfectionism as if he was building it for himself. I highly recommend River Bend Construction for your next home project. If you would like to see their fantastic work, drive by site 615 at Meridian Bridge RV Resort to admire the workmanship exhibited on my new deck!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

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.
