I can find very sparse information on patio deck combinations. I'd
like to see pictures that don't have a pool. I have a patio and
thought about building a deck next to it with steps from the patio to
deck. Is this something people do or have I come up with some crazy
design? thanks.



What is the purpose of the deck? Why not extend the patio?

I don't understand why people build decks on ground level if they can have a
patio that does not require the maintenance that a deck entails, does not
make for places where rodents can hide, etc. If you have a steep drop off,
that would make some sense. If it is just to have a deck, it is silly, IMO.
