How to build a deck
Instructions on building a
standard deck. Materials list.
High Rectangular Deck
This simple rectangular
deck provides a secure, convenient outdoor living space.
The absence of a stairway prevents children from
wandering away or unexpected visitors from wandering in.
It also makes the deck easier to build.
Rectangular Deck
Here's a deck that's
classic in its simplicity. Moderately sized and easy to
build, this rectangular deck won't cost you an arm and a
leg — in either time or money. The framing and decking
plans are quite straightforward, and you can likely
build the entire deck in just two or three weekends,
even with limited carpentry and building experience.
Within just a few weeks time, you can transform your
yard into a congenial gathering place for cooking,
entertaining and just plain relaxing; a place where you,
your family and your friends can enjoy the fresh air in
convenience and comfort.
Island
Deck
An island deck can
transform any area of your yard into a virtual oasis.
Since it's not attached to your house, you can position
your island deck wherever you like—to capitalize on a
spectacular view or to catch the cool afternoon breeze
in a shady glen.
Building a one 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.
Angled Deck plans Expand your living space with
style. This attractive deck makes creative use of simple
geometry to achieve both practicality and pizzazz. The
railing adds interest, with its combination of vertical
balusters, horizontal rails and shaped railing posts.
And the straight staircase—anchored to a concrete pad
for stability—provides direct, convenient access.
