Decks

Calling upon more than 20 years of deck-building experience, author Steve Cory helps homeowners create a beautiful deck for their home in Decks. Cory takes the reader through every step involved in designing and building a custom deck to fit any homeowner's lifestyle and property. Early chapters explain how readers should go about defining what they want their deck to be. Color photos illustrate examples of decks that work in various situations. Subsequent chapters present detailed step-by-step instructions on everything from how to lay out and set footings to adding railings to the finished deck. Also included are three deck projects, complete with plans and materials lists.
