A ledger configured for attaching to a structure, such as a house or building, is described. The ledger comprises first and second walls, a first ledge joining the first and second walls, and a second ledge also joining the first and second walls. The first and second walls and the first and the second ledges define a channel that separates the first and second walls and separates the first and second ledges. The channel is open at both a first side of the ledger, and a second side of the ledger opposite the first side of the ledger. In some implementations, the ledger further includes a third ledge. The first and second ledges join the second wall on a first side of the second wall. The third ledge is disposed on a second side of the second wall opposite the first side of the second wall.

Deck components comprising a post sleeve and flanges extending away from side walls of the post sleeve are described. The post sleeve includes a rectangular cross section. Interior flanges can comprise attachment holes for affixing the interior flanges to box-frame-segments having square-cut edges. Box-frame-segments and box-frame-segment attachments with square-cut edges can abut the exterior surface of a post sleeve side wall. Use of the post sleeve can reduce or eliminate the need to produce beveled joints box-frame-segments and box-frame-segment attachments. Post sleeves can comprise a post sleeve extension extending above box-frame-segments that attach to the flanges of the post sleeve. The post sleeve and post sleeve extension can comprise a single metal extrusion. Alternatively, the post sleeve extension can be attached to the post sleeve. In one example, a post sleeve extender is placed into a post sleeve and the post sleeve extension is placed onto the post sleeve extender.

Deck systems, deck system components making up the deck systems, and methods of assembling and disassembling deck system components and the deck systems are described herein. A box-frame can be assembled from box-frame-segments, angle clips, and fasteners. A box-frame can be supported by posts attached to the box-frame using post brackets and fasteners. Joist assemblies can be assembled using joist segments, joist spacers, and fasteners. Joist assemblies can be positioned within the box-frame. The joist assemblies can be secured to box- frame-segments or another joist assembly using roll-lock tabs and roll-lock tab receivers and locking tabs and locking tab retainers that part of extrusions making up the box-frame-segments, joist spacers, or joist segments. Deck boards can be secured to the joist assemblies using deck screws or deck-clips. The post brackets can accommodate support posts below deck boards and railing posts extending above deck boards.
