View, Proportion and Focus
At the Deck Store, our professional award-winning staff can help you create a beautiful addition to your home and backyard using our design criteria of view/proportion/focus.
| The three steps to a great deck design: |
1. View |
 |
| Even though we build the nicest decks in the Twin Cities, our decks can never look as nice as your yard and landscaping. We want to compliment your surroundings and emphasize views. |
2. Proportion |
|
|
|
| It is important to design your deck to match the scale of your house. As a rule of thumb — we never design a single section of a deck larger than the largest section of your house. | |
3. Focus |
 |
| If I wear a shirt with horizontal stripes, I appear heavier and shorter. If I wear a shirt with vertical stripes, I appear taller and thinner. Regardless, I am the same person. The same is true for your decks. We can steer your view toward a beautiful pond or away from a water tower by using diagonal decking. |
