Here's the hands-on information you need to build any kind of deck-- from the most basic to the most sophisticated.

On this tape, professional carpenter Scott Schuttner builds two decks--one a simple, single-level deck that demonstrates the basic principles of deck construction; the other a custom wraparound deck complete with stairs, planters and built-in seating. At each step of the deck-building process, you see firsthand how Schuttner uses his proven, professional techniques to get high-quality results. For example, Schuttner shows you how to:

• dig and pour footings
• install leak-free ledgers
• build framework that's square, level and solid
• make planters, stairs and built-in seating
• install strong, good-looking railings
• apply finishes

No matter what your skill level, seeing Schuttner at work will help you tackle your next deck project with confidence, This DVD is a companion to Schuttner's book, Building and Designing Decks.
