    Pitch your tent on a deck that perfectly fits your tent's footprint, or extend your outdoor living space by building a deck that's larger than your tent. But don't just stop at ground-level — build up, build out, or build above to best celebrate your landscape's features. You can build the deck yourself or hire a contractor, the option is all yours.

    Below are construction plans, including dimensions, for basic tent-footprint-sized decks and 8-foot extended deck options. Customize your deck and ridge pole for your circumstances and preferences. Contact us with questions.
