Product Description
Design Ideas for Decks and Patios presents ideas, styles, and the latest trends designed to cater to the outdoor-living needs and desires of today's homeowners. Living it up stylishly in today's casual open-air "rooms" calls for serious design consideration. In this photo-driven book, readers will find lots of examples of floating and single- and multi-level decks and attached structures (gazebos, pergolas, built-ins, stairs and railing) and soft-set as well as mortar-based patios. The book also comes with information and tips for choosing a site and shape, plus a rundown on material options (wood versus synthetic decking; stone, brick, interlocking pavers, and concrete). In addition, Design Ideas for Decks and Patios helps reader make important decisions that will affect how they will use the space: choosing furnishings; controlling light and shade; equipping a cooking area or outdoor kitchen; integrating a pool, spa, or water feature; outfitting the deck and patio with media accoutrements; and extending the season with a fireplace or fire pit and heating and cooling devices.

Customer Reviews
Esoteric
I checked this book out from my library. I found it esoteric and not helpful for the ordinary homeowner. If you live north of Florida, don't bother with this book.
Fantastic Ideas!
I love this book. It inspired me to work on my outdoor living space.
I have incorporated several ideas and designs from the book and my place is looking better and better...can't wait to have my summer party!
