Whether your plans call for a basic deck -a few posts, a square floor plan, and a simple handrail, or a complex, multi-level outdoor living space complete with all the amenities, this book can help you plan and build the deck you want. The author discusses every stage of the process, from evaluating design needs to siting, framing design (load tables are provided), drawing plans, estimating, building a foundation, construction materials (including hidden deck fasteners and the new composite deck boards), and dealing with special framing problems. A wealth of unique design solutions for lighting, railings, benches, and other amenities, are also presented.
