This creative, 19th-Century deck is designed to provide interest and intrigue to any backyard landscape. It is sure to draw people from indoors to out--inviting exploration of its 800 square feet of deck area and the dramatic octagonal gazebo. Step from either the great room or master bedroom onto a covered porch. From the porch, a bridge leads to the deck itself--located only a short distance away. The bridge also serves as the vehicle for staircase exits on opposite sides. One provides access to the garage via a sidewalk; the other to the ground level. Designed with entertaining in mind, the deck features a built-in bench that runs along the entire length of one side. The tall, peaked gazebo extends the deck outward--an interesting focal point when viewed from indoors or from the covered porch. The gazebo also provides cooling shade and is just the right size for a table and chairs. The railing features a latticework design, repeated in the gazebo roof fascia, providing a unifying effect. A stairway located next to the bench is yet another ground-level access. A truly intriguing deck! Though it is adaptable to any size or style of house, this deck was created to complement Home Planners Design HWEPL03280.
