Over two years ago, we built this deck, and during a recent inspection, we discovered something unusual.
One of the 5.5" × 5.5" pressure-treated support posts had bowed over 2 inches, pulling the deck framing out of square.
To correct the issue, we lifted and supported the deck, removed the warped post, and installed a replacement.
Nebraska's extreme weather changes can take a toll on pressure-treated lumber. Temperature swings, moisture, and seasonal changes can cause wood to shrink, twist, bow, or warp over time.
Even properly installed lumber can react unpredictably as it ages.
At Cedar Decks and Pergolas by Yenko Decking LLC, we take pride in our workmanship and stand behind the decks we build.
Quality craftsmanship doesn't stop when the job is finished!
Pictures are from year installed to just this year showing the warped post.
