From planning and design to construction and materials, we'll walk you through every step of the process to help you create a beautiful deck.
Step 4: Design Your Deck
Designing your deck and its structural components is a critical part of every project. Prior to starting your design, it is important to familiarize yourself with the terminology outlined in the “Meet Your Coach” section of the game plan. Knowing the proper elements of the design will get you closer to completing your project successfully.
This step of the game plan will also help you become familiar with the basic structural requirements that need to be followed when building a deck. Contact your Build-it-Better Coach to set up an appointment.
