ca3762 0 Posted June 13, 2014 I have to deign a deck that has an existing tree in the middle. So I was wondering if someone know how to cut out an area of the deck where the tree is. so I build a let say square deck 20' x 20' and now I want to cut out a 4'x4' area where the tree is. how is this done?

Kbird1 159 Posted June 13, 2014 using invisible walls is one way , make a small 4'x4' room in the middle of the deck from invisible walls , connect those 4 walls to the deck railing if needed ( version 10 and before ,see image), set the room spec. to "open below" and turn off ceilings and roofs for the room too. On each invisible wall's DBX >general tab> check the box "Railing" as well .so you don't see drywall in the hole. One of the Deck tools may work similar , have a look on the KB for tutorials about Hot-tubs too. Mick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
