Portfolio Of Deck Ideas

Summary: Exactly what I wanted
Review: I wanted a book with lot's of color pictures that showed different deck styles and accents so I could design my own custom deck. If your looking for something for design ideas or to show to your contractor, this is the book for you. I also picked up "A Portfolio of Unique Deck Ideas" to go with it.

If you're after a "how to" book, this isn't it.

Summary: Deck ideas for the 1970's
Review: I was disappointed with the styles shown in this book. The decks looked like they were built in the 1970's, and I was looking for fresh new ideas. Plus, there were many color photographs, but they were of the same few decks just at different angles. I didn't think the ideas they gave were easy to apply to various situations, just the deck shown in the photograph. Overall, there are much better books out there with more up-to-date ideas.

Summary: thin
Review: not recommended. many pics are fuzzy and the ones that are clear are dated. also, the book is only 90 pages. thin on new ideas, thin on clear pics, thin in width...
