FAQ
What materials do I need to provide to start my deck drawings?
provide your backyard dimensions, desired deck size, height off the ground, a few photos of the house wall where it will attach, and your specific city or county location.
Do these plans match the frost depth rules for Illinois and Indiana?
Yes. Foundation plans are drafted to meet the standard frost line depths (typically 36 to 42 inches) required by municipal codes in IL and IN to ensure your deck footings remain stable during winter.
Can your plans specify the exact hardware and brackets needed?
Framing plans include structural callouts for standard building hardware, which is critical for meeting local framing, post, and railing load requirements in the Midwest.
