Building a covered deck with exposed gable beams and a custom stone column with wood beams.

Beams, Gable, Deck, Exposed
Dave walks us through the step by step process for how to make a covered deck, with exposed gable beams, and custom stone columns for the railing. We cut this video down to 16 minutes by not finishing the entire deck, but trust me when I say, you will get the hang of it all. And remember to save the gale bits for use on the next one you do. Trust me, your gonna do a ton of them..!
