Inspiring ideas for your deck or patio

Too many books give you the (literal) nuts and bolts on how to build a deck. This is one of the few books that serve as an inspiration about what kind of deck to build. It get my coveted "Dogear" award because I had bookmarked so many pages of great photos and ideas. Combine this "inspiration" book with a "nuts and bolts" book and you'll be well on your way to having a great deck.

A primer on decks and patios

It's a great book. We needed ideas and some inspiration, and that's what we got. Lots of pictures, good tips. No fluff. It steered us away from simply pouring a concrete patio and laying out some lawn chairs. It ran the gamut from drainage, slope and elevation, to materials and costs.
