Decks

This book gives a pretty good run-down on what is needed to build a deck. That said, most of the decks in this book are rather upscale and more suited for the Taj Mahal. I needed help to REPACE an existing deck, and I found the info a bit lacking. My biggest worry: replacing the old support posts. As a result of reading this book, I gave up on the idea of doing it myself, and, someday when I have a spare $10,000, maybe I'll hire someone to do the job (NOT!). I guess I need a book on how to dispose of your deck.

This is a good reference book to use along side a manual of your specific building codes. It has good pictures that show how to do the things they are explaining. There is more to building a good and strong deck than what I originally thought and this book shows how to do that.

Great for basic and mid range knowledge. Gave me all the info I needed to rebuild my deck

I bought these books for reference as I don't know carpentry terminology it was handy also don't know the sequence to building these structures they explain that as well as can be without using professional "slang" with no one understands thanks again for a very nice book ...

Great note for a guys that knows nothing about building a deck. Multiple techniques illustrated. Lots of picture.
