5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted, June 19, 2000

This review is from: Portfolio Of Deck Ideas (A Portfolio of) (Paperback)

I wanted a book with lot's of color pictures that showed different deck styles and accents so I could design my own custom deck. If your looking for something for design ideas or to show to your contractor, this is the book for you. I also picked up "A Portfolio of Unique Deck Ideas" to go with it.

If you're after a "how to" book, this isn't it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Deck ideas for the 1970's, August 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Portfolio Of Deck Ideas (A Portfolio of) (Paperback)

I was disappointed with the styles shown in this book. The decks looked like they were built in the 1970's, and I was looking for fresh new ideas. Plus, there were many color photographs, but they were of the same few decks just at different angles. I didn't think the ideas they gave were easy to apply to various situations, just the deck shown in the photograph. Overall, there are much better books out there with more up-to-date ideas.
