Deck Designs: Great Ideas from Top Deck Designers Paperback – Import, 1 February 2009

Yes the book gave me a lot of good ideas. Just have to sit down and decide which deck I like to build for the size of my backyard. Thanks Vince Fournier

Libro de diseños y fotos, aporta ideas, pero pocos detalles explicativos sobre la construcción de las mismas.

Great book for what it is --- a picture book to go through and find different attributes of decks you like and give to your deck builder. It's got a lot of large, full color pictures.And that's how we used it. There's text in there, but I don't think we bothered to read much of it. Most of the writing tells you about things to think about -- like where to place your deck, sunlight concerns/thoughts, etc.It does NOT spend a lot (or even any time) on how to build a deck from a technical perspective. Amazon seems to call it a DIY book or wants to based on tags. It's not.

Very informative instructions. Found some great ideas from it.

I was looking for a book with deck ideas and finally found one. This book has several deck design ideas ranging from 1 to 2 story decks, intricate to simple designs, how to incorporate fire features and working around trees. This is a well written book with quality photos and some how-to's for the do-it-yourself'er.I highly recommend this to anybody looking for deck design inspiration.
