New Deck Design Software Offered

Osmose Wood Preserving, Black & Decker, Flood Co., Vermont American and the California Redwood Association are sponsoring a consumer deck building software program, "Design and Build Your Deck."

Marketed by Sunset Books and created by Books That Work, Palo AI$o, Ca., the program runs on IBM compatible computers using Microsoft Windows.

"It is the most sophisticated system we've seen for consumers," said Al Heberer, Osmose national account manager. "Retailers can confidently recommend it to their customers to help promote the purchase of a deck. It is simple to use, offers great features and is a bargain at $70 or less."

A simple deck can be laid out by manipulating screen images with a mouse. As changes are made to the size, shape, stairs and rails, the program automatically inserts accommodating struchral underpinnings and updates materials and price lists. Designs can be viewed in 3-D from all angles. Decking can be hidden to show framing, corners can be notched or angled and outer house walls drawn. Plain English definitions, building tips, color animation complete with sound, and use of national building code practices make the progmm user friendly.

Because the program is limited to simple designs, it lacks capacity to include hot tub or tree openings or provide elaborate railing options.
