Afternoon all,
I'm thinking of fitting some decking in my garden. The area to be covered is fairly level grass and I don't want the deck to be raised.
My neighbour recently did something similar, he used stacks of broken paving slabs to level and support the deck frames, lined the underside with weed proof membrane. The stacks of slabs much simpler than digging in posts, is this advised or do they have a tendency to sink?
Essentially I'm looking for a simple alternative to digging and concreting in posts. Thinking something along the lines of digging in some breeze blocks to rest the deck frame on, without raising the level considerably above the grass (happy to dig the grass level down if required).
Any thoughts please ladies/gents?
Regards,
Donny
