Basically Your Design !
So you are thinking about a deck. The first thing is to properly determine what is important and how you plan to use it. We will look at the space, layout where you plan to put a table, chairs, sofa, BBQ, hot tub, umbrella, roof, or any other features… so that I will build the right solution for you.
Because at the end of the day, it is Basically Your Design !
Things to consider:
– Maintenance Free?
– Material – PT, Cedar, Composite?
– Board size – 5/4×6, 2×6, 2×8, 2×10, 2×12
– Board Direction – side to side, end to end or on a angle?
– Fasteners – Nails or Screws? Fastened from the top or bottom?
– Structure – Attached to a building or stand alone?
– Steps, Railings, under deck access/storage/drawers?
– Covering basement windows? See options below?
