Planning on doing a deck approx 3.6m by 5.8m. I want to keep it level to the ground so I'm not peering over the fence and also to keep level with the grass.
So far I've took off the top layer of soil, about 4 inches. My plan is too use around 6 paving slabs, bed into the soil with sand and lay my decking frame on top of this using 4 x 2 timber. Due to the size I was looking at doing two frames and bolting them together.
Is there any issues with having the deck float on top of the ground as such and not be fixed to the ground using posts?
Also do I have any advantage to moving up to 6 x 2 timber being a ground level deck?
Cheers
