Calgary homeowners that are looking to upgrade or create their outdoor living space by building a deck, must take note of local building permits.A building permit can serve more than one purpose, they ensure the decks are compliant with zoning bylaws, safe for friends and family and protects homeowners from poor building practices.

If your uncovered deck is higher than 0.6m (2’-0”) above grade at any point, a building permit will be required for any of the following scenarios:

• You are building a new deck
• You are replacing, rebuilding, or extending an existing deck
• You are replacing any structural components of an existing deck
• You are adding stairs to an existing deck

Attached decks give the feel of an extension of your home. In most cases they are raised off the ground to match the main level of your house. This gives homeowners the convenience of providing easy access to outdoor features such as, alfresco dining, add a pergola to create some shade or a fire pit to entertain into the night.
Preferred material:

• Composite decking
• Pressure treated wood
• Cedar decking
• Exotic hardwood

Adding style:

• Pergolas
• Outdoor kitchen
• Privacy screens
• Deck skirting
• Fire bowls
