Hi,
I'm fitting some decking 5mx5m on a sloping section of garden, the lowest portion of the decking is at ground level and the hightest approx 1.2m. Its been recommended that I use 9 4x4 post with 6x2 joists, the posts are to be supported by post anchours similar to metposts.
The metposts are the long type that normally just hammer into the ground but I've been told to concrete them with a hole 600mmx600m and approx 400mm deep. Is it OK to concrere those sort of metposts because from the metpost website the ones that they recommend concreteing in are shorter with a square base rather than the long pointed ones.
