Herriman sits at the west edge of the Salt Lake Valley, exposed on an open bench near the Oquirrh Mountains with less shelter than valley-floor neighborhoods. The Wasatch Front has seen documented windstorms with gusts of 60 to 80 mph and a recorded peak near 104 mph. Post size, footing depth and how the posts and beams connect matter more on an exposed lot.
Herriman sits around 5,000 feet, above the 4,500-foot mark where Salt Lake County's base ground snow load of 43 psf applies — higher than valley-floor cities like Salt Lake City itself (28 psf at 4,239 feet). We calculate the exact load for your site rather than assume a flat number.
Herriman sits at the edge of the wildland-urban interface. The 2010 Machine Gun Fire burned more than 4,300 acres nearby and forced roughly 1,600 homes to evacuate. For a deck near open space, that can mean clearance from vegetation, non-combustible skirting where it makes sense, and a decking material chosen with real fire risk in mind.
Ground that freezes and thaws can heave shallow footings and push deck posts out of level. Footing depth has to account for frost, and the depth your city requires should be confirmed before building.
Sourced from Utah's residential building code, the Utah Snow Load Study and public wildfire records. Confirm current permit requirements with Herriman City before building.
Cost depends on size, material, railings, stairs and how the deck attaches to your home, so we price each one after we see your yard. Utah requires a permit for any deck attached to the house, or a freestanding deck over 30 inches above grade — and a guardrail once it crosses that height. Rules change, so confirm with the city before you build. Your free quote covers the design, the price and the schedule.

A deck we built for a Utah homeowner. We're adding more Herriman-area photos as new projects finish there — see our full project gallery in the meantime.

Working with Joey and his team at 3sixtyindustries was a great experience. They were honest, fair, and extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. They did such a great job. I have no complaints about anything. We love our new deck—highly recommend!
Crus and Joey built a beautiful deck for us! We were tired of our small, wood steps that attracted wasps. We contacted them and they were able to expand our space to be a place for us to enjoy time with our dogs and enjoy being outside! I am so happy with the work they’ve done! Communication was great and they were very respectful of our space and other belongings. I highly recommend them if you need a deck!
Our deck is amazing! They were wonderful and patient guys to work with. Totally recommend!
I was nervous at first to redo my deck but it looks amazing thank you so so much!!
They completed a framing job for me on an addition to our home. Their pricing was very competitive and they offered great service. They were honest and got the job done that was needed. Very happy with their work and timelines. Would recommend
Amazing product and amazing service. They made sure my yard was 100% cleaned everyday best affordable product around.
These guys are awesome! Repaired my old water damaged deck, and gave it a fresh new look with trex and a new composite railing. Very happy with the end result, would absolutely hire them again.
Most deck projects take two to six weeks from footing excavation to the final walkthrough, depending on size, permitting and weather.
Utah requires a building permit for any deck attached to your home, or for a freestanding deck more than 30 inches above grade. Once a deck crosses that height, it also needs a guardrail at least 36 inches tall. Rules can vary by city, so we confirm current requirements with Herriman before building.
Deck cost depends heavily on size, decking material and features like railings, stairs and lighting, so we price each project after seeing your yard. Visit our deck builds page for what's included, or ask for a free, itemized quote.
Wood costs less upfront but needs regular staining or sealing to handle Utah's sun and snow. Composite and capped composite decking cost more initially but need little upkeep and resist fading, splintering and moisture damage over time.
Yes. For homes near open space, we talk through decking material, clearance from vegetation and skirting choices that support defensible space, given Herriman's wildland-urban interface.
