Deck plan

This Kathryn's deck plan; I think it's going to be more expensive than I wanted, but it is nice. I'm leaning towards a bench in the upper left corner where it says "railing or bench", and for the bench to go as far along the wall on the left as over to the stairs along the top. I also think having a step in the middle of the lower stairs landing will be a problem, so I'm having that taken out for a flat landing and an extra step down towards the hot tub. Also, looking at where the railings are and the fact that there are to be plants filling the area that juts out towards the lower stairs, I don't think the railing needs to be that thin any more, as the only view issue is towards the hot tub. Though I suppose when I put plants down there, it might be better...
