Free plan: How to build a transitional deck

You can adapt this deck plan around almost any house on fairly flat ground. The key lies in establishing the shape of the deck.

Wide places invite socializing, while traffic areas are narrower. If the floors in your home are higher than in this design, you can set the beams on posts with appropriate piers and footings, and then add steps as needed.
