How to Make a Quick & Easy DIY Backyard Deck For Grilling
We are excited to bring you this quick and easy DIY backyard deck. It's the perfect place for some summer grilling. This is not a complicated build, and it also did not take too long to make.
1. Visualize the deck
Here’s a quick sketch I did of the layout we desired in the backyard. It helped us to visualize what we wanted to build.
2. Pick up the supplies
First, we picked up all of the supplies and loaded up everything into our Honda Odyssey. Van life!
3. Clear the area & dig holes
We cleared the area that we had picked to build the deck. We used post-hole diggers in order to get our 4x4 posts deep enough to hold for the long haul.
4. Cement the 4x4s in place
Next, we dropped in the 4x4s and added cement for extra stability.
5. Make the trim
Then, we added the trim pieces.
6. Fasten everything together
We used L brackets and wood screws to fasten everything together.
7. Add in support beams
Next, we ran support beams about 16 inches apart.
8. Make the deck out of 2x6s
Then we ran 2x6s in the desired pattern we wanted.
