Free Deck Designer

There are a lot software programs on the market for designing your dream deck and patio. As I was planning to add a new deck off the back of my house I found a few really great design programs. Decktools.com was really cool and included high resolution renderings but had a very steep price tag. Not for me… OK, I admit I like free stuff, I decided to use Timbertech’s ‘Design a Deck’ on their website. Not only was it free but it also included a 3D model, material list, and installation guidelines. This was perfect for someone who has no idea about how to build a deck or even where to start.

Don’t forget to plan for your hot tub.

Timbertech made it really easy to design my dream deck. I simple created an account on their site and the software walked me through the design process. They will even save various deck projects if you feel inclined to design your neighbors deck also. Design Your Own Deck at Timbertech
