10x10 Deck Layout with Side Stairs
Side stairs keep the main deck surface open for furniture instead of losing a corner to a stair landing, which matters most on a deck as small as 10x10. ArcSite's 10x10 deck layout template lays that framing and stair placement out for you, ready to adjust to your own site.

Key Considerations When Designing a 10x10 Deck with Side Stairs
Side stairs change where the rim joist needs an opening compared to a deck with no stairs at all, so that framing detail matters before you cut anything. In ArcSite, you can adjust this 10x10 deck layout's joist spacing and stair placement to match your own footings.
