TX I know this was a very old post but I just saw it. I built this a few years ago and honestly don't remember the figures for the materials. It was built on deck blocks no pilings. If I remember correctly is was 18' so there were 2x6 joists, 1 x 6 tops and standard 4x4 rail posts and 2x2 balusters. It took me 2 and a half days 20 hrs. Thats after having a 30 foot tree removed.
Hi Audery
If door is flush with the ground a patio is normally used which most of the time is cheaper and more functional..
I have never seen a deck that you had to step up to connected to the house that didnt look out of place.
If you like the look of a wooden deck it is normally off the the side of a patio a gazebo would add a nice wooden look to a patio.
Hope that helps
