So the ledger flashing should extend out to the second deck board. Why?
Do you have a question about deck flashing for a wood deck? Trust me, I’m not looking for problems with the DCA 6 Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide.
But at the same time, I’ve never quite understood this detail, where the ledger flashing extends out past the first deck board along the house and under the second one.
Well, when I recently visited a deck I built at the end of last year, I found a small garden growing between those two boards.
