Is your backyard unusable because of a steep slope? Have you given up on what to do with this space? Did you ever think a deck would be possible in these conditions? Use this slope to your advantage and build a deck specifically for your situation.

Before you begin, note that building a deck on a steep slope will require a more vigorous installation process with a proper foundation. Leave this installation to the professionals and contact a local licensed contractor that is familiar with building decks on slopes.

Building a deck on a steep slope can give you a great space to entertain on what was otherwise a waste of space. Depending on the space you have to work with, you can create a multi-level deck that eventually leads down to your yard, or a single level deck that offers amazing views of your backyard.

Compliment the design with deck lighting and tigerwood railing. Your deck will surely be the talk of the town.

  1. Nice write-up & cool illustration. Thanks. My 2 cents? If you’re going to undertake a project like this – call a professional! Even if it’s just to get some peer review on your plans – let somebody give it a sanity check. If you do decide to build a deck on a steep slope yourself… take your time, make sure you have the best tools ready like speed squares and laser levels. And if you have second thoughts – call a pro!
