My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thank you for your question!

    We like to have room to walk around the chairs safely, at least 3 feet, usually 4 feet. With lounge chairs being about 7-8 feet long, we like to go with at least 10 feet of decking. We will usually ask our clients if they have outdoor furniture we need to accommodate for, and show them on the plan ahead of time to avoid any problems with placement after the deck is built. If you are working with an interior designer, they will usually give us the dimensions of the furniture.
