Do I need to create an account to use the Deck Visualizer?
No account is required to use the tool.
Is the Deck Visualizer free to use?

Can I use the Deck Visualizer on my phone or tablet?

Does the visualizer include all Deckorators products?
The tool currently features a selection of Deckorators decking, railing, and privacy screens. It does not include all product lines, but we regularly update the tool with new styles and finishes.
Can I get a materials list or estimate from my design?
No, the Deck Visualizer does not generate a materials list or cost estimate. However, our 3D Deck Builder tool does provide a detailed materials list, and our Deck Cost Calculator provides material cost estimates to help you plan your project more accurately.
Can I customize deck size and shape?
No, the Deck Visualizer uses pre-created deck layouts and does not allow for fully customized sizes or shapes. It’s designed to help you explore product combinations and design inspiration quickly.
Does the visualizer include railing and accessories?
Yes, the tool includes several railing options and decking trim, but it does not include other accessories such as lighting, post caps, or balusters.
Can I upload a photo of my home to visualize the deck?
Not at this time, but the tool does provide realistic 3D views to help you visualize the deck design with various home styles.
How accurate is the rendering to real-life products?
While the Deck Visualizer provides realistic representations, actual product colors and finishes may vary slightly. We recommend ordering physical deck samples before making final decisions.
Can I send my design selections to a Deckorators Certified Pro?
Yes, your design selections can be emailed, making it easy to share with a Certified Pro for next steps, quotes, or installation help.
I’m not sure where to start. Are there templates or inspiration decks?
Yes! The tool offers pre-set design themes to help you get started quickly.
Can I use the tool to design a multi-level deck?
Yes, the Deck Visualizer allows you to select multi-level deck designs to pair with the various house styles.
Where can I get help if I have technical issues while using the Deck Visualizer?
If you experience any technical issues with the Deck Visualizer, you can contact Deckorators Customer Service for assistance. Our team is happy to help troubleshoot or answer any questions.
What's the difference between the Deck Visualizer and the 3D Deck Builder?
The Deck Visualizer is designed for exploring product combinations—decking colors, railing styles, and privacy screens—within realistic home settings. It's the fastest way to see how different Deckorators products look together. The 3D Deck Builder is a deeper planning tool that lets you customize deck layouts, add stairs and furniture, and generate a detailed materials list. Use the Deck Visualizer to narrow down your style preferences, then move to the 3D Deck Builder when you're ready to plan the build.
How do I share my Deck Visualizer design with my contractor or dealer?
Once you've finalized your selections, you can email a summary of your product choices directly from the tool. Share that summary with your contractor, local dealer, or a Deckorators Certified Pro so everyone is working from the same product specs. It's especially useful during onsite consultations when you want to align on colors and styles before purchasing.
How accurate are the colors and finishes in the Deck Visualizer?
The tool provides photo-realistic representations of Deckorators products, but actual colors and finishes may vary slightly on screen. Factors like monitor settings, lighting, and device type can affect how colors appear. We recommend ordering free deck samples before making final decisions—you can order up to 6 individual boards or a pre-selected sample kit directly from the Deck Visualizer page.
Which Deckorators products are available in the Deck Visualizer?
The tool currently features a selection of Deckorators decking, railing, and privacy screens—with over 35 deck width and color combinations across multiple collections. It does not include every product in the Deckorators lineup (such as lighting, post caps, or individual balusters), but we regularly update the tool with new styles and finishes.
What should I do after I've created my design in the Deck Visualizer?
Start by emailing your product selections to yourself for reference. From there, you have several next steps depending on where you are in your project: order free samples to see your choices in person, use the Deck Cost Calculator for a quick price estimate, move to the 3D Deck Builder to create a detailed layout with a materials list, or connect with a Deckorators Certified Pro who can help bring your design to life.
