Title: Most complete guide I've seen
Review: Tons of photos, very good step by step instructions. Great for the begineer to intermediate DIY'er.However, be sure to check your local building codes before making any plans. It will save you a lot of money. This book (like most deck building books) are written with people in the North Eastern US in mind. Readers in the South East don't need such deep footers for example. It goes the other way too, the directions for attaching a deck to your home were insufficient for code in my local area.This book, like most other deck books, focuses on tall decks and really doens't discuss much about ground level decks.
