In the Hickory area, the depth of deck footings is influenced by local building codes and soil conditions. To prevent frost heave and ensure the stability of the deck, it’s common to dig footings below the frost line.
Here, the frost line generally ranges from 12 to 18 inches deep, so it’s advisable to dig footings deeper than this range to provide adequate support for the deck.
To determine the specific depth requirements for your deck footings, it’s important to consult with local building authorities or our team. Soil conditions and other factors can also affect the necessary depth, so these should be carefully considered during the planning and construction of your deck.
