Be inspired by new designs and follow the most recent codes as you custom build the deck of your dreams! Architecture, construction rules, and design are never static; they constantly change. That is why there is a new edition of the best-selling Black & Decker: The Complete Guide to Decks, which includes revisions to national construction codes as well as new innovations in building materials and design. This book highlights composite deckboards and railings, as well as other PVC items created from recycled plastic, as examples of new materials systems that are environmentally friendly, easy to work with, rot resistant, and require little care. Whether you use prefabricated deck components or wood, the success of your project is dependent on a strong deck undercarriage. This is not difficult to accomplish, but establishing the framework requires up-to-date information on building codes. In recent years, these standards have undergone major changes, affecting everything from post diameter to permitted joist hangers, railing height, and even concrete footing size. Black & Decker: The Complete Guide to Decks is the only DIY deck book that has been fully revised to reflect the most recent codes.
