How To Build a Deck for a Grilling Area
More in Outdoors
Step 1: Prepare the Area
Be sure to run condensate pipe for the refrigerator, drain lines, propane lines, and a pressure regulator for the grill before constructing the deck.
Step 2: Dig the Holes
Start by digging holes for the 4x4 posts that will support the weight of the deck. Fill the holes with quick setting concrete mix, add water, and position 4x4 posts on top of the cement.
Step 3: Build the Frame
Create the outer frame of the deck with pressure-treated 2x6s and use a nail gun to attach joists to the frame that will be covered with decking. Use metal support posts as a brace for the 4x4s that will make the deck more secure. Nail 2x4s across the outer frame to complete the deck.
