10x20 Deck Layout
A 10x20 deck's narrow width keeps the footprint modest while the extra length leaves room for both a dining table and a separate seating area. ArcSite's 10x20 deck layout template works out that framing for you, ready to adjust before you add railings or a pergola.

Key Considerations When Designing a 10x20 Deck
A deck this narrow and long benefits from side steps rather than steps centered on the short end, since a centered step would eat into one of the two zones on a 10-foot-wide surface. In ArcSite, you can adjust this 10x20 deck layout's step placement and railing detail to fit your own access point.
