On a raised coastal home, plan the deck around the view, how you get from the deck to the yard, and how you will use the space underneath. Multi-level layouts and well-placed stairs make high decks easier to live with.
Start with the view
Many raised homes near Mobile Bay and the bayous face water or marsh. Position seating where you will want to look.
Plan the stairs
Single run or landing
Tall decks often need a landing or a turn in the stairs.
Where stairs land
Think about where you walk in the yard and where stairs meet the ground.
Consider multiple levels
A lower level can hold a grill or sitting area, while an upper level connects to the house.
Use the space below
The area under a raised deck can become shaded storage or a sitting spot.
