Local conditions
Steep, exposed and design-led
Steep lots, rock and complicated access make West Vancouver decks some of the most involved in the region. Engineering, careful staging and premium materials are normal.
Covered decks and decks more than 0.6 m above grade count toward site coverage here, and decks over 0.6 m that are part of the house can't project into required yards. Those rules can shape the size and position of a new deck.
