An outdoor deck design can be flexible, did you know that you can add on year after year to any deck you make as long as you start with solid foundations. If you decide to start with the conventional rectangular deck to step onto out of your back door you could plan a much bigger project with your deck design software and build up your outdoor deck design in stages over time. A rectangular deck could later expand to include decking around your hot tub and then extended to surround your swimming pool. Expand the other way to include an outdoor dining and BBQ area with a pergola (want ideas! see pergola photos here - Gazebos and Pergolas
A multi-level deck requires precise planning and design with professional assistance, for all shapes and sizes of ground level decks, it's a lot of fun to design your own bespoke deck design on your deck design software, if you haven't got your software yet you can read our review here at Deck Design Software to help you decide - it's going to be a wonderful summer to spend evenings on your wonderful outdoor deck design.

Home Improvement Tips, when to use a nail instead of a scew!
Anyone got any ideas on this debate... Well we would nearly always use screws over nails for every home improvement or home remodeling job that comes to mind except perhaps one...
We always use nails to settle roof tiles, just a few taps with a tack nail and they are in place, the real advantage of using the nail is discovered however on the day that you have to carefully try to take tiles off or if you want to replace one without disturbing the others, it's difficult to get screws out without ripping up the tile whereas a nail, with a bit of effort, will lift out leaving you with a roofing tile that you can use again another day!
The nail gun is fast and easy to use... but you still can't beat the screw, its worth the effort to place screws properly for the strength of finish, durability and longevity they give you.
