How long does the Oz-Deck™ system take to install?
The actual installation of an Oz-Deck™ is about 2 min. but for project planning about an allocation of 10-15 min each post should be expected. So for a standard 12′ x 12′ deck that will require 9 Oz-Deck™ plates you should have all of the piers in place in about 2 ½ hours. We have taken into account the time to run string lines and locate the post locations and cutting the posts to the proper height. It is assumed that this process is being done by two people. After the posts are in the rest of the project is very fast. Making the framing for the deck and squaring it up is easy and then all that is left is the deck boards. A basic 12′ x 12′ can easily be completed in one day by two people.
