What it means for deck work

  • Burnsville requires a permit for a deck attached to the house or 30 inches or more off the ground, footings 42 inches deep, and typically three inspections.
  • Most homes here date from the 1960s to the 1990s. By NAHB's estimate of 20 to 30 years for a northern wood deck, decks from that era are at or past the end of their life.
  • Decks from before 2004 may be built of CCA-treated lumber, which the EPA notes manufacturers stopped making for homeowners at the end of 2003.
