Review: Great resource despite trendy formatting - I've built decks before but bought this to refresh on details before building another. Very good info on details like spans, but I don't like the way it follows the current trend of inserts that extend to another page. That makes it difficult to follow. But since i used it as a reference (rather than reading straight through) there was little inconvenience.

Very good info on details like spans, but I don't like the way it follows the current trend of inserts that extend to another page. That makes it difficult to follow. But since i used it as a reference (rather than reading straight through) there was little inconvenience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by A***Y on January 14, 2025* Great to look get to know the step by step process ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for some projects *by C***S on May 10, 2026* Not a good DYI book but more a picture book on some very nice and expensive examples. I ordered it for a patio 'lean to' roof example with pointers and tips and found none that I could use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ultimate Guide: Decks, Updated 6th Edition: Plan, Design, Build (Creative Homeowner) DIY Your Own Deck - Expert Installation Tips, Building Techniques, Step-by-Step Instructions, and Over 700 Photos - Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Decks 7th Edition: Featuring the latest tools, skills, designs, materials & codes - Black and Decker Deck Codes and Standards 2nd Edition: How to Design, Build, Inspect, and Maintain a Safer Deck (Black + Decker Home Improvement Library) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/344462617-ultimate-guide-decks](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/344462617-ultimate-guide-decks) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
