Free Two-Level Deck Plans from Rona, Inc.

Are you planning on a new deck? This is the time to get started.

Why worry about a new deck in the Fall? Isn’t that a Spring project? Well, yes and no. If you want to get an early start next year, there are things that you should be doing now.

You’ll need to plan the ideal location an size of your deck. Then, check if it will be all right with your building department or community review board. Do they require setbacks from your property lines? You might have to adjust your plans.

Next, transplant any shrubs that will be in the way. This is the time to move shrubs. Then, start thinking about what materials you want to use and what details you want to include. Do you want a shady pergola, built-in benches, a hot-tub or a screen wall? You can start comparing prices at your lumber yard or home center.
