Why homeowners use a patio deck designer
A deck is a big build. Better to see it before you frame it.
- 1 photo
See the deck on your house
Boards, railings, and levels placed on your actual house, so you can judge the look before a single footing goes in.
- 1 try
Try a design before you build
Decks are not cheap by the square foot. Test the size, boards, and railing on screen before you order materials.
- 60s
A design in under a minute
Shoot the yard, pick a deck style, and get a redesigned deck back in seconds.
One house, every deck style
Modern, multi-level, wraparound, covered, composite, and more, designed on a photo of your actual house, not a stock yard.
How the patio deck designer works
One photo of the yard or old deck you want to change is enough.
- 01
Photograph the space
Shoot the yard or the old deck, with the back of the house in frame for context.
- 02
Pick a deck style
Composite or wood, single-level or multi-level, open or covered. Each one changes the boards and the look.
- 03
Get your design
See the new deck on your real house, with a layout you can take to a contractor.
Built for real decks
What designing a deck actually has to get right.
Boards and railings that look real
Composite reads like composite and timber like timber, on your own house, so you judge the deck instead of guessing from a sample board. Compare a few on the same photo before you commit.
Keeps your house and yard
The design keeps your house, the grade, and the surroundings, then builds the deck and railings on top, so it still reads as your home and not a render.
A design you can build from
You get a deck you can save, compare against the original photo, and hand to a contractor for a quote. There's no clunky 3D software to learn first.

Dozens of deck styles for any outdoor space, ready in under a minute.
