Door too low for decking

Ashbou10 · 7 Apr 2020

Hello any ideas on how i can fit decking but the door threshold is too low so joist plus board will bring it too high picture attached

Would have to be a particularly thin joist at the door end. Looking at the garden it doesn’t look particularly level so appears you would have to do some serious excavation anyway.

Could you get away with a floating frame on top of the concrete? Difficult to tell

Yeah garden very unlevel goes up hill slightly from door just want something flat as all the concrete is uneven thought decking would be quick cheap idea not sure if block patio is also a good idea

Decking pedastools are your friend, however they may not get along with your wallet.

You could think of a split level using the door line as the lower point and then one step up to take care of the undulations, just an idea. Hope this helps.

Pedastals sound good? Thanks for the replies

I'd consider cutting out a bit by the door and adding a step.

That said your door opens inwards so you could just have the deck higher and step up as you come out, I suppose.

Fix your dripping overflow first.
