All right, it has finally happened... the wife is ready for an extended deck. As many of you know in Apex, the town is super-anal about codes, permits, inspections, etc.. I figure I will take advantage of the fee holiday and go on and sign up for a deck extension.
I went to their website and looked at the deck checklist and they had some general guidelines of dimensions that need to be followed.. For most of the design, I was going to pretty much copy my existing deck, but that was built 7 years ago, and I don't know how much the code has changed.
Does anyone know of where I could get more specific guidelines to meet North Carolina deck building codes so when I do my design, it is right the first time.. I don't want to have to redo the design a few times to get it right.
Thanks in advance for the help
