Deck Design Ideas From an Expert

Saturday May 17, 2008
Your deck design options are virtually limitless. But this very abundance of choices in deck design can confound homeowners. I recently conducted an interview on deck design with an expert in the field, Lawrence Winterburn. The results of the interview are contained in a Q&A, which may answer several of the questions the average homeowner has about deck design.

Lawrence Winterburn has some amazing design work. Inspiring!

How nice, too, to see a designer from the northern climate. Thanks to both for ‘talking through’ the design process.

Using 2 x 8 joists on an elevated deck (about 6 feet up), how far can I safely cantilever the joists past the the posts(poured footers to the frostline). The deck is 16′ x 21′. StLouis , Missouri
