L-Shaped Deck Layout
An L-shaped deck layout wraps outdoor living around a corner of the house, ideal for separating a dining area from a lounge space or framing two distinct zones without adding a second structure. With ArcSite's L-shaped deck layout template, you can frame it to fit your own house corner.

Key Features
This L-shaped deck layout includes:
- An actual notch drawn into the footprint, not a relabeled rectangle
- The notch dimensioned at 19 feet 8 inches and 10 feet 4 inches
- Three equal 6-foot bays across the long leg's 18-foot depth
- The shorter leg framed separately as its own bay
- Adjustable leg lengths and offset
The offset dimensions carry down to the inch on both legs, so the corner lines up without field-measuring it yourself.

Key Considerations When Designing an L-Shaped Deck Layout
Framing the shorter leg as its own bay, instead of extending the long leg's 6-foot bay pattern into the corner, is what keeps the inside corner from needing a custom-length joist. ArcSite lets you resize either leg independently, so lengthening the shorter leg doesn't force a recalculation of the long leg's three bays.
