Outdoor and Garden - Decks
This woodworkers list of woodworking plans and projects features a collection of decks for your home, cabin or farm, in different designs that any beginner to moderately skilled do-it-yourselfer can build. The woodworking information found on these sites range in quantity and quality. Please contact individual web sites if you have questions about those woodworking projects.
Replace wimpy corner posts with shingled columns, and give your deck a solid structural look and architectural flair. Then, add planter inserts in the columns tops to brighten your deck with flowering greenery. We will show you how to build and install the columns, assemble a sturdy balustrade, install the raining, shingle the column, and build the planter inserts which lift out for easy maintenance.
Get off the ground one step at a time with a framing square and these tricks of the trade. We will show you how to build steps with open stringers, which support the treads from underneath. Also how to figure out the rise and the run of the steps, how to lay out the stringers, and how to cut and assemble the steps.
This summer, move your woodworking outdoors by building and installing this deck delight. Our railing system relies on few visible fasteners, using instead tenoned rails and stiles to provide strength and supports. Better still, it features lighted posts that accent your handiwork in the evenings while allowing for safe movement around your new or remodeled deck. We have included a louver jig with the plan.
