About the Book

As an extension of your living space a deck can have many functions: a place to entertain, a private spot for sun lounging or reading, a children's play area as well as the ideal spot for the container gardening enthusiast. With basic carpentry skills and a standard toolkit, any homeowner can construct a durable deck for the garden. This guide is designed to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to plan, construct and maintain your ideal deck using decking tiles, or a fixed structure complete with railings, steps and balustrades. With the weekend carpenter in mind, each of the 15 step-by-step projects are easy to construct and require little DIY expertise. An introductory chapter covers everything you need to know on tools, materials and techniques, including setting posts, joining timber and fastening, as well as finishing and maintenance, while the projects themselves give inspiration and guidance on creating the right decks.
