Decks are basic structures but the final design can be complex. Becoming familiar with the terms used in deck construction will make planning your deck, ordering material, and overseeing any changes to plan easier. Understanding decks terminology helps communicate effectively with designers, builders, and other contractors.

as other portions of the deck substructures are, the posts
that support the top-level sunroom here are finished to
look like decorative columns.
