This is one to common area that I have encountered when people try to make their own decks and aren’t familiar with construction methods. I also have seen people try to use a less dimensional lumber size than required which can lead to problems. One aspect that I have found is the improper anchoring into the home, it seems to be the biggest issue around my area. Many DIY’ers don’t realize that many home centers will offer a design service free of charge and provide a list of recommended materials that usually will take care of these issues.

Excellent post! I find that many people in an effort to save on cost not only do the work themselves and are not really capable, but they also take shortcuts and do not thoroughly research the project. If you are going to do a job for the first time you really need to get as much information as possible. Improper installation in many cases is not only dangerous it can have deadly results. There is plenty of good information out there in articles like this one all over the internet.
