Through drawings and photos of actual custom deck projects readers will obtain first-hand information on what went into these truly unique projects.

Great Deck Ideas and Pictures As I am planning a new deck, I purchased this book. It gave me lots of great ideas and pictures. It’s not a how-to book, but great at creative and beautiful decking ideas. It shows great ideas of putting various composite decking colors together as accents and is for someone wanting ideas to take their deck up a notch. If u just want a square deck without benches, edging, composite, planters or unusual railing design, than this book isn’t for you. But it’s loaded with fantastic pictures that would give anyone new ideas to spruce up an ordinary deck plan. It espeically shows some creative rounded decks, like on the front page that u don’t see very often and really look 21st century. I wanted a book to give ideas of a more contemporary and clean look than a traditional deck, so this book was great for me. I showed this book to my landscape designer and it gave us several good ideas and she said she was going to purchase it as a reference book.
Great book for designing a deck, not building it 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.
Excellent book, features CorrectDeck.CX Well-written and researched book, consists more of deck shots more than how-tos, but the featured contractors are pros and the decks are well done. Features lots of top-end composite decking including CorrectDeck.CX
