Dinner outside
A deck sized for a table and a clear route from the kitchen to the yard.
Outdoor · Fictional case study
The starting point
A bench along the old deck left little room for a dining table. The new footprint left space for chairs to pull out without blocking the stairs.
Scope of work
- Replace the landing
- Install decking, stairs and railings
- Plan drainage and access beneath the deck
Design decisions
- Wood decking
- Wood stair treads
- Weather-resistant fasteners
Construction notes
The stair location had to preserve a path between the house and garage.
The finished plan
The steps open onto the yard, leaving the dining area clear beside the house.
Stock photos illustrate the scope. The images depict different homes.
