    About 340, SFH. We have a flagstone patio that's about the same size and if money were no object, I'd tear down the deck and increase the patio.

    Mine is about 300 SqFt - SFH. I'm not getting any complaints about the size of my deck. I've heard if you trim the bushes around the deck, it will look bigger.

    Ummm, how can you have an upper AND lower deck on a townhouse?

    If the lower one is ground level, it is not considered a deck.

    Glad i could help! I also recommend using the composite materials for decking. I used the cheap planks you get at the Home Depot. The wood on my deck is not as hard as it used to be and I definately do not allow strangers on my deck now without protection.

    When I was single, I was happy to have anyone on my deck, the more the merrier. Now that I am married with children, I often find myself on the deck alone.
