Concrete Pilings for Deck


Our concrete expert told us that we were building a SUPER solid, if not overbuilt, structure. Our architect explained why. It turns out that small houses with lots of openings (windows, french doors etc.) are highly unstable, and require extra support wherever possible. It makes sense: with so many windows for natural light, we end up with very little shear wall.
