helpful deck design guidelines

Whether you're a builder looking for add on sales in this tough economy or a home owner looking to add to the value of an existing home, a well designed deck could be just the ticket. And like so many things, you can design your deck "on the cheap" and hope it holds up or put the thought into a structurally sound deck that will be around for years to come.

The following PDF is a very, very detailed deck construction guide for residential wood decks. It is written and intended for builders but a serious do-it-yourselfer could also benefit from scanning through it. And if you're a homeowner considering having someone build a deck for you, this guide could prompt you to be asking the right questions to make sure you're getting what you pay for.
