I have just purchased a house that has a small pato. I would like to put decking in instead of keeping the patio. the reason for putting on the deck instead of just going with the patio, is there is a very high basement bulkhead right in the middle of the only area that I could put a patio. I would still like to be able to go up and down the basement stairs to bring things up and put other things stored in the basement. is this even a possibility.?
