Ramps And Storage SpaceIn the pictures below, you can see the construction of a ramp, which is ideal for use with a wheelchair. Click on the picture for more information. Where you need a raised deck—to bring the decking up to the same level as the floor of the house—you can use the space beneath as storage. The steps can also be made to look like an attractive design feature, rather than simply a means of getting down to the garden! |

Steps and RailsA high deck can have a series of steps that is protected with solid balustrades and rails, which should also look decorative. In the pictures below, you can see how the rails protect people from falling on the high deck, while their main function on the lower deck to the right is eye-appeal.
