BobVila.com > Channels > Deck, Porch & Patio > All Tips > Deck Lumber Deck LumberWhen building a deck or other outdoor platform, don't use lumber wider than 6 inches. Ponding water on wide boards can lead to eventual cupping problems. For example, use two 2x6's instead of one 2x12. Pros advise installing the boards crown-side up to help minimize cupping and shelling of grain layers.
