Step-by-Step Guide

1. Begin by placing the crab-house main structure at the back center of the deck. Position it so the arched glass doorway faces forward and aligns horizontally. Ensure the telescope mount sits on the roof indentation for correct placement.
2. Add the arched glass door, porthole, and window details to the front façade. Place the door flush with the house’s inner rim, and make sure the glass panes align with existing patterns. Adjust if necessary to ensure proper animation.
3. Build the wooden deck railings, ladder, and ladder drop-in area at front center. Align railings with corner posts and ensure the ladder’s top rung aligns with the deck plank seam. Position life preserver rings on railing hooks to unlock additional props.
4. Lay out the lounging area with two striped chairs, pillows, side table, and beach accessories. Place chairs parallel to the railing with pillows overlapping slightly. Arrange items on the side table and scatter beach items for a lived-in look.
5. Place the striped awning and planter box with vines to the right of the door. Ensure the awning aligns with the house’s midline seam and the vines overlap the planter’s front. Adjust as needed to achieve the right visual balance.
6. Arrange water props including the rubber duck, inner tube, floating character, and beach items. Ensure proper alignment for correct animation. Group deckside items like beach balls and towels for an "active leisure" completion.
7. Add finishing accents such as life rings, palm tree, rocks, and greenery behind the crab claws. Ensure each element is correctly placed for a cohesive aesthetic that will trigger the completion animation.
8. For the top detailing, place the telescope on the roof and add trim pieces. Verify overall alignment and adjust any elements that remain unlocked to complete the scene.
