The project
A covered sitting area starts with a sound floor, an easy path outside and rails that suit the view.
Sketch the path from the back door to the yard before placing seating or deciding where a set of steps belongs. The attachment to the house and the condition of the existing frame come next.
- Size the landing for the door swing and everyday traffic.
- Look for soft decking, water marks and loose connections.
- Plan the deck surface and railing together.
