Hi all,
I have built and outdoor oven last/this year, and during which time I decided to rip down an existing shed, and build a new one in it's place.
The project got bigger and bigger, and I decided to lay a multi-level deck around the who area.
I built the frame for the deck, then decided to not build a shed, but instead a bit more of a functional outdoor area.
As my plan for the frame has changed from a deck with a smallish shed to a deck with a large open summerhouse/outdoor living/bar area, I'm no sure if I have made enough provision to scale it up to this.
The deck frame is nearly complete, all 2x4 with 4" posts in about 10" - 12" of postcrete.
If I build this outdoor area which will now take up most of the upper deck level, do I need to consider drainage?
It will max height of 2.5 as is near a boundary.
The footprint of the main summerhouse part will be around 2m x 5m with a 1m or 2m extended part to the front and side which will just be like a covered area - no walls, just some beams supporting the roof.
Any advice on some new considerations I now need to make, although I am kind of stuck with the frame in it's current format.
Thanks!
