Abstract
A deck bracket and method is provided to attach a deck to a building. The deck bracket includes a wide flange and a narrow flange spaced away from each other by a web. The deck bracket is then easily joined to the building, preferably by screws, and the deck easily bolted to the deck bracket. The deck is thus spaced away from the building so that there can be no moisture accumulation. The method of construction includes placing the deck bracket adjacent sheathing, caulking it and protecting the area with siding covering it.
