A deck or patio is a great way to enjoy the outdoors without actually roughing it in Pellville, Kentucky. But putting up a deck involves more than just hiring someone to nail a few pieces of wood together. Consider these issues first:

• Make sure the deck conforms to zoning ordinances. Consult your local municipality about restrictions concerning decks, and whether a permit is needed to build one.
• Check the lot survey to make sure that the deck isn't infringing on a neighbor's property.
• If you're part of a homeowner's association, see if it has any restrictions regarding decks.
