I have not found a book that covers everything anybody needs to know about decks, but this is the most thorough one I have seen...lots of good pictures. I still don't know how much I should pay for my deck though. I guess I'll have to get multiple quotes from contractors to make sure I'm not overpaying for it.

This will be the only reference that you will need to build either a porch or a deck. Far superior to any of the other three deck books I used from a library. A must own!

This book provides complete, concise, clear, step-by-step instructions for deck building. Great photos clarify text and make the project seem exciting. I bought two books on decks and returned the other...this one had everything I needed.
Excellent how-to book for deck building.

Searched through many how-to books before a friend let me borrow this one. It provided all of the specific information I needed to actually build a deck. The others were wastes of money.
