Raised decking - Levelling/height issues

skippy2009 · 5 Apr 2009

Hi,
we are building some raised decking in our garden. The issue is, the area we are building it on is on various levels. Therefore our support posts will be on varying levels (some dug approx. 600 mm deep and other screwed directly onto concrete). Does anyone have any tips on how we can ensure all the posts are the same height?
Cheers!

a spirit level?

Laser level?

set the posts out and leave them higher than you need. Build the outside framework to the levels you want on the posts and cut the excess off.
