this book. Use these principles as broad guideli~es
to help you， achieve the goal of a satisfying and success-
ful deck. You will notice that the location of a deck and
the amenities added to it (such as benchesl furnitu~ie，
plants， and screens) contribute as much to the deck s
impact as the design itself.
The process of selecting a deck plan， deciding on a
site， and choosing appropriate amenities should take
advantage of all the unique features of your home and
site， as well as family needs and aesthetic preferences.
The design principles illustrated in this chapter will
help you focus on these issues.
It is possible to design a custom deck completely from
scratch using these basic principles， or to adapt a plan
from this book to suit your needs. The important thing
is to be clear about how you intend to use your deck and
to survey the site carefully to know what features you
want to take advantage of or limitations you need to
overcome. A good deck plan grows out of the existin.q
conditions and does not feel like it is imposed on the site.
How to Adapt a Deck Plan. Whatever deck plan
you select， you may have to adapt it to fit your specific
situation. For guidelines on how to do this， see page 90.
