This Sutherlands Project Plan is for an attached 12'x20' basic deck, two feet above the ground. These plans are provided for general information only. This is a suggested design and is strictly a preliminary plan, not to be considered a finished building plan. Sutherlands does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of these plans. It is recommended that all dimensions and elements be field verified.

You, as the consumer, contractor and/or builder, are responsible for any interpretation of these plans and for all construction or adaptation in any stage of this project. You are responsible for all necessary bracing and support strength, for all measurements being correct, and for the verification that this design with or without any substitutions or modifications meets all local building codes and requirements. Also be advised that electrical, mechanical, plumbing, structural and other elements may be concealed by existing conditions and this is your responsibility. Sutherlands is available for any questions and will give you the best advice for your individual situation, but without responsibility for your actions.
