We are in the process of finalizing designs and building a deck. Joists are 12" on center all 2×10 framing, 6×6 posts - Going to finish with trex product. A few questions for everyone:
Framing - nail or structural screws? GRK is readily available in our areas from Mendards or Home Depot
Joist hangers - nail or screws?
I wouldn't mind adding a nailer to my collection of "necessary tools" but I'm all setup to screw. I realize there are differences in shear strength if you aren't purchasing structural screws.
This deck meets the AWC Deck code 6.
