Build the deck of your dreams! This two-level deck can be customized to fit a variety of yard or patio layouts. With this project, we lead you step-by-step, from laying the foundation to adding the finishing touch with deck lighting.

BONUS PLANS: Of course, a deck isn’t complete without furniture. So we’ll also show you how to build some, and save $10 as well. Our comprehensive bonus plan illustrates how to build seven great projects, including a chaise longue and rocking chair.

As you would expect, the real beauty of this project lies in its versatility. You can incorporate the features you like, and discard the rest. With our comprehensive plans, you can even add these features to an existing patio or deck.

Cedar-clad railing offers privacy and protection from the wind. The composite decking we used was made from plastic and wood fibers, and won't split, crack or warp. A continuous rope lighting system has also been installed under the handrail to provide a soft but well lit atmosphere for after the sun sets.

The plans for both projects come complete with step-by-step instructions, illustrations and a materials list. The deck can be built to a number of sizes to meet your needs and blend seamlessly with your house. Pattern No. 920248.
