Fastening the decking before installing rails and stairs
We fasten each decking board to every joist it crosses with two ring-shank 8D nails or 2-1/2-inch wood screws, or the specified deck screws. The fastening requirement applies at each joist, not just at the ends of a board.
We install railings and stairs after the deck surface is complete.
Wet-season planning and code review
Grants Pass has hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, so we plan deck work and drainage with the wet season in mind. We also account for some freeze-thaw movement during occasional winter freezes.
Oregon’s 2026 Oregon Residential Specialty Code has entered its phase-in. For your residential deck application, we confirm with Grants Pass which code edition the city will review.
