Hi Angie, see if some of these ideas help you: https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=Decks%20in%20Build
you need to build the decking to meet the area codes of safety. you may need permits to build it.
There are tons of books out there plus You Tube. You can also get info at lumber store. Also, codes need to be followed as stated by dfm7193.
Not to burst your bubble, but YES, you do have building regulations. Just because you are not aware of them, doesn't mean they don't exist. Ignorance is not always bliss.
