For years, the amount of information about decks that was provided in the codes was woefully inadequate. At one time, the American Wood Council filled that gap by providing a publication (DCA-6) that provided prescriptive guidelines for deck construction. The last edition of DCA-6 was based on the 2015 codes. After that, the IRC increased the amount of code material on decks, and substantial amounts of new material were added in the 2021 IRC. Glenn Mathewson, the author of this new book, represented the North American Deck and Railing Assocation (NADRA) in their code initiatives for the 2021 IRC. This book is THE authoritative source of information on decks.
This edition of our Code Check plumbing and mechanical book has been expanded to 48 pages. The book is based primarily on the 2015 IRC and 2015 UPC/UMC codes.
