My suggestion: <br /> <br />Deck heigth and spacing: Mock it up and see how much space looks good to you. I am also building the same style layout. I mocked up two decks at different heights until I found the ones that suited me. I have about 19" between the decks. The top deck is about 59" off the deck. I found that various people of differing sizes had strong opinions about what they could see on the top deck. I adjusted some stuff in light of this. I also made my top deck narrower to keep the view on the bottom more uncluttered. My widths are 24" (bottom deck and 18" top deck (most of the time). There are lots of ways to support the top deck, the book is a good idea... <br /> <br />Guy
