Hi
I need to put a 5m x 5m decking platform on my gravel driveway and I need it to be level. However the driveway is on a slight incline so if I layed the decking as is then one end would be 4-5 inches higher than the other. The decking isn't going to be raised, just low level.
What's the best way to do this? The gravel is very shallow and under it is very compacted so I can't just scrape it level.
I was thinking about building up one underside end of the decking and having say 3 joists that end with just 1 the other end and a few 2-ers in between. Is this sensible? Obviously it's not ideal as its not a smooth incline.
The decking is going to have a heavy structure on it.
Thanks.
