Question about screw piles
 
Looking to build a deck. Maybe attempt it ourselves, but have to get a contractor to put in screw piles.

What i don't know is how high to get them? How are you supposed to know? The height of the bottom of the deck is dependent on how wide the material is. so What if the screw pile is a few inches too high or too low?

Dont you get them a little higher then deiced on everything else test fit measure 3 times then cut them 2 size? I was a kid when my parents built their deck

Depth and circumference of the screw pile are the important factors. The height can be trimmed as you'll cap them to take deck bearers.
