Minnesota notes

Deck footings in northern Minnesota have to go below frost depth, which is deeper here than in the southern part of the state. Your local building office sets the exact number.
Most attached decks need a permit and inspections; ask your city or county before work starts.
On lake lots, shoreland setbacks can limit how close a deck can be to the water.
