Do It Yourself Deck Designer

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely worthless
Review: I paid $29.99, but Deck Designer would be overpriced at $2.99. A highschool student could create a better program over a weekend. You can use a pencil, ruler and paper as easily. No way I would build a deck this program creates. It actually put overlapping posts in nearly the same hole, and a third post only inches away. A "door" is literally a hole in the wall. Only one 3D view and it's not in perspective so it looks wrong. There is very little you can do with this worthless program. The only good thing it is easy to use. Too easy! And you still get nothing you can build. Don't waste your money. Even 1 star is too high a rating for this product.

Review: Not much more I can say other than this software was of zero value for me building my deck. If you really want it, look at home depot for a down load for much, much cheaper. I think the web designer at Lowes provides the same value as this software....but it is FREE!!!!!!

Review: This program is good if you want to use one of the pre-existing designs on it. If you plan on building a custom deck it is pretty much useless. You are unable to make the angles you want and you are unable to add specific designs that are fairly common. It is difficult to use and is not worth the money spent. You are better off drawing a custom deck by hand.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This software is easy to use and intuitive. A little limited but it does actual engineering, thats why it doesn't allow you to randomly move things around. Their tech support was excellent, helped me to make some challenging changes that otherwise would have been impossible. I definately recommend this to anyone.
