Compare deck typesThe deck type should be selected from door height, yard slope, access, furniture zones, stairs and permit path before choosing boards.
Budget: Ground-level is usually lowest; raised, multi-level and wraparound decks add structure, stairs and railings.
Lifespan: Structure lifespan depends on framing, footings, ledger flashing, drainage and material.
Upkeep: Higher and more complex decks have more stairs, posts, railings and connections to inspect. Low decks need moisture planning; raised decks usually dry better but have more safety components.
