Hi,
The same question has been posted on this forum before but none quite answers my query.
I want to deck on top of my existing patio.
The decking will sit between the house and the walls around the patio.
The patio isn't level as it has sunk in places.
I want to keep the finished height of the deck to a minimum.
Can I lay say 2" thick tannalised bearers directly onto the patio?
Can I level the patio with chippings first?
Do the bearers need to be bolted down or will the weight of the finished deck hold it in place.
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.
Jon
