How to Do a Bay Point Wood Deck Dismantle Job

Before you get to the disposal phase of the project, you'll first need to take it apart. Now, this will require some tools, like claw hammers, pry bars, drill-drivers, leather gloves, eye protection, dust masks, and power saws. When you have your tools ready to go, here's what you do:

• Unfasten the rails. The handrails along outer portion of the deck must go first. (You'll basically take it down in reverse order of how it was built.) Use a drill-driver and/or pry bar or claw hammer to remove the rails.
• Pry up the deck boards. Next, you'll remove the rail support beams and then move onto the actual deck boards that make up the floor. Start at the outside and work toward the house. (Be sure to lock the door so no one accidentally walks out onto the deck.)
• Cut the deck off the house. Now, you can remove the deck from the exterior connection to the home. Then, dismantle the frame and dig up the support posts.
