Getting started on your deck project can be tricky, whether you have someone build it for you or you're a DIYer. You've maybe never installed anything deck related before, or just don't know enough to confidently tell someone what you want. A million questions can come up during this process like, what colors do I want? How do I wire my lighting? How far should my balusters be spaced? How do you even install a section of railing?

Our Getting Started page is packed with a wealth of deck knowledge, as well as inspiration galleries and other services that are available to you through DecksDirect.
