- We must always verify that there is a house rim.
To frame a deck properly, the first step is to verify that there is a rim board. The rim board is an essential part of the deck's frame and provides a secure attachment point for the deck's ledger board. Before starting any work on the deck, it is important to ensure that the house has a rim board that can support the weight of the deck.
If you cannot identify the rim board from the exterior of the house, you may need to remove a section of plywood from the house's exterior wall to inspect it. This will allow you to see the framing behind the wall and verify that there is a rim board in place.
Verifying the existence of a rim board is a crucial step in framing a deck. Without a secure attachment point for the ledger board, it will be impossible to build a safe and stable deck.
