Free Deck Building plans - Here is a guide that will help you build your deck. Takes you through the steps of choosing the material, preparing the ground, building the substructure, then building the deck and railings. Once you have determined the basic design of your deck, the next step is to choose your materials. The most common choices are pressure-treated (P/T) lumber (usually Southern pine), redwood, or cedar. As a rule, pressure-treated lumber is the best choice for the substructure; the species you use for the visible parts of the deck will depend on your budget and the look you want.
