Built my own deck last year ..tons of fun but be prepared 👌

1. Plan & Permit: Measure twice, cut once & get permits first!
2. Grab a Buddy: Extra hands make it way easier.
3. Rent a Power Auger: Save your back, rent a power auger for post holes!

YouTube tutorials are your friend for the rest! Search "DIY deck building" 😉

When I built my deck last year, I found that measuring everything twice and using quality materials made a huge difference. Advice on sealing the wood really paid off too—it's held up great against the weather. 🌞

Totally go for it! Make sure you double-check your measurements, use quality wood, and don't forget to seal it properly to avoid future headaches; also, a level is your best friend—keeps everything looking sharp! 🛠️💪🍃
