A Step-by-Step Manual for Building Decks


by the editors of Creative Publishing International.
(Creative Publishing International, Inc. 2005)


This recently published edition of The Complete Guide to Decks is far more than the construction manual implied by its subtitle. This beautifully illustrated and comprehensive reference has excellent plans and building directions for 10 outdoor decks, and also contains lots of great ideas for designing with accessories such as bench seats, wood walls, and lighting systems. In addition, it's up-to-date on composite decking materials, a popular new choice by many homeowners.
