NOTE-- This cost only includes the supporting posts for a deck. To calculate the total cost of a deck, you'll also need to add deck floor joists, deck flooring, railings, and possibly other structural framing work. You may also need to add costs for connecting the deck to an existing structure, including flashing and other details.
