Custom Deck Builder Toronto, Ontario

Before your deck builder can begin a residential project, drawings must be submitted to the city for approval. These drawings will typically include:

• A backyard plan outlining the proposed deck, lot lines, existing structures, and all required setbacks.
• A recent survey of the backyard.
• A frame layout plan includes footing location and size, beam location and size, joist location and other important details.
• A front view of the deck detailing the deck’s height, stairs, height of railing, and depth of concrete footings.
• A cross-section view, showing how the deck is attached to the house.
• A side view of the deck with the elevation of the privacy screen or railing.
• Standard drawings, which may include pre-made details relevant to the project.

Your Green Side Up deck contractor will help you understand the requirements for your structure and ensure all designs and plans are included before submitting for a permit.

A local deck permit is required to build an outdoor structure. According to city by-laws, decks over two feet high and/or greater than 108 sq. ft. in size, or structures that serve as the main entrance of the home will require a building permit. Permits are also needed if structural changes are made to an existing deck.

Deck permits must include the following:

1. An Application for a Permit to Construct or Demolish
2. Schedule 1: Designer Information Form
3. Tree Declaration

If a permit is not required for your project, your deck builder must comply with zoning by-law 569-2013.

During the process of building a deck, inspections are commonly required to ensure zoning regulations and building codes are met.

We recommend scheduling inspections after each important stage, including after the foundation is laid and before the work is finished. During each inspection, have your approved plans and permits ready.
