building a new deck
I am wanting to build a new deck attached to my house, my question is, is it safe to put it on the same wall as my dryer vent, and should it be above or below the vent, I don't have a lot of options as to which wall to put it on. Thanks

Your dryer vent is just venting warm, moist air into the outside, so it doesn't matter where you put your deck...above or below it.
That would be a matter of preference by you.
Put it where the deck level is at least 2" below your door opening.
Check with your local Building Inspection Department for code on the subject, and any permit and inspection requirements.
Good Luck!
