This is good for introducing people to different designs and different types of materials. It is not a how to do it book

 Design Ideas - And That's All!, 2007-02-19
First the not-so-good: I made a mistake when I bought this book. I was looking for a book on how to design a deck. The description says that the book includes "an easy-to-follow design guide." Well, I read the book from cover to cover, and I haven't found that guide. What I have found are photos of decks, and descriptions of their features. That's it.
Now for the good: the photos are lavish, beautiful, and brimming with information. They are truly inspiring. In addition, they are beautifully printed on a nice, heavy paper.
I'll be keeping the book, but in the meantime still searching for a good book on deck design that is actually more of a how-to.

 Great design ideas, 2004-03-17
First let me make it clear that this is not a book about building decks. "Design Ideas for Decks" is a sourcebook for exactly what it states - designs. And the design ideas are plentiful and beautiful. Unique layouts, multi-level decks, accents to give aesthetic beauty, everything about design is covered in the book. Just looking through it once gave me several ideas for my backyard deck that I would not have thought of but will add a lot of character to the deck and make it the functional deck that I want. "Design Ideas for Decks" is a highly recommended resource for ideas for your new deck or to remodel your current one to make it more functional or aesthetically pleasing.
