#1 Prime Southern Pine Pressure Treated Decks

DECK5 is a homegrown construction company from Cumming, Georgia that specializes in Deck Building.

Our deck building method is a trade secret passed down through 4 generations. Each generation bettering the last and surpassing our competition. As American tradesmen we find fulfillment in the highest quality finished products for our customers, and that is why we use #1 Prime Southern Pine for our framing.

Construction framing materials in Georgia are broken down into two main grades: #1 and #2. Both are adequate for building, but #1 surpasses the latter in strength and aesthetic. Decks, being exposed timbre frames- we believe ‘overbuilding' the structure is well worth it (residential decks require 40 psf, but we rarely build below 60'psf). Southern Pine is ubiquitous in Georgia, but many contractors choose #2 grade to save money.

Our decks last for 20 years and we stand by our choice of #1 Prime Southern Pine as our preferred building material. As technology and building codes improve- so do we. We use Simpson Strong-Tie hangers, TimberLOK screws, galvanized carriage bolts and Interchange Pro nails for all our decks.

Simpson Strong-Tie, TimberLOK, and Interchange Pro manufacture the newest and best construction technology. We at DECK5 use the aforementioned companies’ technology to perform less invasive and more durable methods of construction. This means no more tearing up your basement ceiling to bolt your deck to the house, no more shaky handrails, no more excessive posts crowding the space below, and no more shiny hardware ruining your deck’s natural aesthetic.

At DECK5, safety is our #1 concern. All of our decks are engineered by professionals to stand tall for decades. We never cut corners or go home early. We use though bolts whenever possible for the strongest connections. Our deck posts are always notched for strength and aesthetic and our handrails are symmetric sturdy systems you can trust. By using these methods, we create the highest quality decks possible in construction today.

Staying up to date with construction building technology allows us to build stronger, faster, and more beautiful structures than other deck crews in Georgia. With our methods, we can accomplish a larger square footage of your deck, longer- seamless spans between posts, cut back costs on the quantity of material needed, allow for more room underneath, and accomplish the job in a timely manner. All the while being clean and respectful of your home throughout the process.
