Professional carpenter and deck builder Scott Schuttner takes you step by step, detail by detail, through the entire deck-building process.

You will learn how to:
  • develop your own design ideas and turn them into well-engineered plans
  • select the right lumber, fasteners and finishes
  • build a framework that's plumb, square and solid
  • make planters, stairs and seating
  • work efficiently without sacrificing quality
Guided by clear descriptions and detailed drawings, you'll be able to build whatever kind of deck your budget and skill allow -- anything from a basic, single-level deck to elaborate, multilevel masterpieces.

To help you get started, a 16-page photo gallery gives you over 40 inspiring examples of superb deck designs.
