Deck a Patio

This deck design is the ultimate solution for a hopeless patio slab. It doesn’t matter how bad the patio is—severely cracked and cratered, some areas raised by frost, others sunken after 50 years of settling. A patio slab with this much damage can’t be fixed. But it can be covered up with a gorgeous deck—and these deck plans will show you how. The results look just like a normal deck, but getting them is much easier and less expensive than building a deck from scratch. In most cases, this project is also less expensive than a new patio installed by a contractor.
