Many websites offer `pre-fab`plans that will support building a stock deck. Before purchasing such a plan, make sure the plan takes into account any local building codes that apply to decks in your area- things like height off the ground, type and size of footings and height of any required railing.

Get Your Deck Plans Looked Over?

Building a deck requires the same kind of planning that any other major construction project would need. When you draw up your deck plans, you should have them looked over by a professional engineer before you start building. You should also have your plans looked over by the local zoning board to make sure that your deck fits all building codes. You do not want to start building a deck only to have the local government tell you that it needs to be dismantled.
