I had a woodworking business in Alaska oh...20 + years ago. When I bought pretty much any kind of wood I would have to bring it home and spray it down with water and cover it with plastic. Leave it sit for a few days. The wood was incredibly dry. So cupping, twisting, etc was an issue. Sometimes I would have to clamp it after spraying it. It was a game I played with humidity. It was so dry up there I would have to run a 5 gallon humidifier to keep the kids from bloody noses! I also did Insurance damage claims and in most cases it was from the wood being so dry it pulled away and cracked so I advised all my clients to liberally oil their wood products. Long story short I always take the environment into account...cold versus heat. Wet versus dry.

I would have liked to have seen how you dealt with the deck boards near the wall. Did you just have to top screw the last course of boards?? My dad built our deck similarly back in 1984 with cedar 2x4s and blind nailing instead of having that screw guide. Took a lot of skill, but that deck is still looking pretty good today. A few boards have had to be replaced, but held up well for 40 years.

You can always adjust to suit your build. I like to make sure it’s solidly built and will go the distance. There’s also a maximum distance for deck block spacing. For specific details I refer to the deck block guidelines or website. Also your local building code and span tables for your lumber 👍🏽

Thanks. You gave me the idea for the side, i like it. BTW, what does scribe means ? Thanks

Awesome. Scribe means I’ll cut out the boards following the contour of the ground. I actually ended up grading the soil so that it is level across the front.

Did you put the landscape fabric under the paver base as well? Or is that paver base enough to prevent weeds from growing?

I don’t put it under the paver base but you can put landscape cloth the over it and up to the deck blocks.
