Step 1: Getting Started/Examining the Plans

From the plans found on our website, locate the Framing Plan. This is the most useful page for building the Octagonal Deck. In these instructions, we will be using a 12' Octagonal Deck as an example. Slight modifications will need to be made for larger or smaller octagonal decks.

Start by building the core rectangular section of the deck. To build the core, use two 2"x6" support boards, two 2"x6" end boards, a 4"x4" post, and the four corner Dek-Block® piers.
