Carmen's Deck Plan Collection

At Trex, our goal is to inspire homeowners to create eco-friendly spaces to spend time in nature with friends and unwind from daily life's stress. We partnered with Carmen to design three ready-to-go deck plans to take the guesswork out of creating your outdoor dream space.

The Starter Home

This starter home is the perfect backdrop for a cozy deck that runs the length of one side of this modest home. Leaving the sides and front free of railings on this Trex Enhance® Saddle deck gives the illusion of a larger outdoor space, but the symmetrical rows of plants flanking each end act as a natural border and soften the lines of the deck as well.

Family Friendly Outdoor Living

This multi-level deck is perfect for fun gatherings with family and friends! A smaller step-down area off the back of the house is a great spot to highlight planter filled with seasonal plantings while hosting a grand "entrance" to the second, larger level, both made from Trex Transcend® decking in the silvery tones of Island Mist. Traditional railing with classic post caps surround the entire space.
