I need access to a top deck down to yard I wonderering if steps going down would be to steep & if I should put a platform on the way down to make it not as steep as you see in picture very high!
I can't tell how high your deck is off the ground but I do know you can add steps. You will have some measuring to do and then you will have to go to your local home improvement store and look at stair stringers and the metal holders you use to attach the stringers to your deck. You can buy the premade stringers or you can make your own. You can adjust how steep your stairs are by playing around with the stringer where it attaches to your deck--the longer your run is out into your yard will determine the steepness of the stairs. It takes a bit of playing around. Here is one little bit of information to help you get started: https://www.todayshomeowner.com/video/building-deck-stairs
They would not be steep if you build straight out. They just would go far out into the yard. Build them along the deck from one end to the other if you have the room. Or you could build split them and have some go straight down, a landing with a turn with the rest. Also depends on your budget, cost of materials, and how many supports posts you want to use.
Measure and make a frame and Google it
Hire a carpenter who knows how to use a framing square. This is not a simple DIY.
