To help homeowners get started on conceiving and constructing their backyard retreat, the following is a round-up of the many deck planning resources available at Trex.com:

Inspiration Gallery - The Inspiration Gallery is an online resource to help homeowners visualize their outdoor living space. The gallery features photo collections of the best composite deck designs that span regions, sizes, features and style preferences. Homeowners can peruse the images to find ideas, spark their creativity and get busy planning.

Deck Design Plans - The new Deck Design Plans tool offers users three ready-to-build deck plans representing the most popular and versatile designs for today's homes. Once a user selects a design, the tool provides a print-out that offers details of the deck's dimensions and Trex materials needed, as well as an overview of the design's benefits so that homeowners can be assured they are selecting the ideal design for their planned outdoor living activities.

Decking & Railing Duos - To help simplify railing selection, Trex's new Decking & Railing Duos guide provides a series of pre-selected railing looks to pair with some of its most popular decking colors. The feature navigates site visitors through the railing selection process, allows users to explore the latest trends and offers customized, designer-curated pairings -- helping homeowners find the perfectly paired look for their outdoor living space.

Deck Cost Calculator - When determining budget, the Trex Deck Cost Calculator offers homeowners valuable guidance in the early planning stages to help them make informed decisions. This easy-to-use tool estimates the material costs for a deck build based on size, substructure and the decking products being considered, ensuring homeowners that their dream deck remains within reach.
