How To Build A Deck
Few home improvements can match a wood deck for usefulness, beauty and enhanced value to a home. For adults, decks offer outdoor living space for entertaining, sun bathing and dining. For...
Treated and Composite Deck
We present this attractive deck that will provide 400 sq. ft. of outdoor living space on two distinct areas. The rectangular main deck measures about 12 ft. wide x 20 ft. long. On the left side, it drops down one step to a 12-ft.-wide octagonal platform perfectly sized to accommodate a dining table and chairs. To the right, a staircase leads down to the lawn.
Replace Rotten Decking
Not everyone is willing to give up their wedding anniversary celebration to spend the afternoon replacing an old rotten deck, but that's exactly what Jennifer and David Cooke did! They heard that Ron was heading to Monmouth, Oregon so they put everything...
Design, Plan, and Build a Deck
Deck building may not be the easiest project, but the years of enjoyment a deck provides make the effort worthwhile. Use our helpful instructions to design, and plan your new deck.Then build the deck of your dreams.
1 Level Deck
Relax this summer on this 12 ft. × 12 ft. deck. It's single level, elevated and secured to the house, has a balustrade and there are steps to the lawn.
Compact Deck
This plan contains an attractive deck design that two handy persons with intermediate building skills can construct in a weekend. Build it with versatile pressure-treated Southern Pine lumber and your new deck will provide many years of outdoor living enjoyment. Designed for a level site, this deck includes comfortable seating. When built with pressure-treated Southern Pine lumber, the deck frame is suitable for “ground contact” applications. All decking, seating, and rail materials can be quality marked for “above ground” use.
Ground Level Deck
The ground level deck provides the simplest way of expanding living space outdoors. Attached to the house or freestanding, these decks are particularly effective in providing usable space over damp,...
2 Level Deck
Most people build a deck as an outdoor extension to their kitchen. Others design it around their pool, as a play area for the kids or as part of a complex landscaping component. Whatever its use, a deck adds to the value of your home and provides a focal point for enjoying the outdoors.
Uphill Sloping Lot Decks
On uphill sloping lots stepped Cedar decks create attractive outdoor spaces, as well as being a pleasant and easy way to access the upper levels of the property. In the design illustrated here, landscaped...
Deck w/Handrail and Steps
This deck, handrail and steps project required a building permit. This tutorial covers aspects of the project's construction, along with some of the plans that were submitted to the authority when applying for building permission.
Deck Supports, Post Holes
Deck supports can be built many different ways. With pressure treated lumber, you can dig a hole and bury the post itself. Placed on a flat stone or small concrete base, the post should last as long...
Deck Bench Seat Plan
Use the same decking materials to construct a fixed deck seat, as used on the deck itself. In this example, 90x18 (3/4" x 3 1/2") hardwood is used. If your deck is constructed out of some other material, make any necessary measurement adjustments to compensate for any material size differences exampled in the following plans.
Roof Decks
When building a ground level deck is out of the question, sometimes opportunities exist above. Many buildings have the potential of developing roof space. Even very small areas can be made into attractive...
Pool Deck
We discovered a better, simpler approach for building a handsome pool deck. Ours, shown here, may look complicated, but we employed a few timesaving techniques that greatly simplified the construction process and, in turn, dramatically reduced the amount of work required to complete this project. And best of all, we didn't have to dig a single hole.
Finishing A New Deck
Decks are exposed to the weather and must be protected to remain strong and in good condition. The surface of all exterior timber will eventually become weathered and discoloured,...
