Deck Plans

A deck extends a home's living space into the outdoors. It's a platform - literally and figuratively - for a family's activities, from dining to entertaining on a warm evening, to just sitting and enjoying the view of a well-maintained backyard. So finding the deck plan that fits both your home and your lifestyle is important. Here are some deck plans can be adapted for a wide variety of home styles.

A relaxing addition to a backyard, this sauna and whirlpool spa combination promises respite from the hectic world. Joined to the house by wood decking and a sun-filtering trellis, the dry-heat sauna has planked seating as well as a sink, shower and a bench seat in the dressing area. A small attached storage room neatly accommodates supplies and equipment. Just outside, raised planters flank the revitalizing whirlpool spa on two sides. The third side has a long bench seat. Additional bench seating borders the wood deck on two sides.
