Each year, more than a million
homeowners throughout
America will build a new deck
or upgrade an existing one.
Beauty, added value, and
comfort are just a few
reasons why decks are so
popular. Decks extend the
living space of the home,
adding a special "outdoor
room" for entertainment and
relaxation. Design choices
range from simple, compact
structures to elaborate multilevel
decks with benches,
planters, and railings.
