Tips for planning your deck
So, you’ve decided this is the year you’ll add the deck of your dreams to
your home. Now that you’re ready to put all hands on deck, it’s time to consider all of your options. The experts at decks.com offer these tips to get started:
PLAN AHEAD
A typical deck project can take six months (or more) from inspiration to instal- lation. To get things going, put together a timeline and checklist. Helpful how-to ar- ticles and resources for plan- ning can be easily found on- line. Be sure to factor in time for permitting to ensure your deck is built to code stan- dards and is in compliance with local regulations.
GET INSPIRED
There are countless possi- bilities when it comes to the layout and design of a new deck — from simple, yet re- fined, ground-level styles to more complex and elaborate multi-level decks. There is no shortage of inspiration to help
you determine your likes and dislikes, and even uncover creative ideas you may not have considered. Decks.com, for instance, features hun- dreds of images and deck plans for every type of hous-
ing configuration and setting.
DESIGN YOUR DREAM
Ultimately, a deck should be designed around how you plan to use it — relaxing, en- tertaining, etc. Beyond func-
tion, consider views, sun/ shade and entrances, and exits from the home and into the yard. All these factors will have an impact on your deck’s size, shape and scale.
