Hi,
I had taken down my green house and want to put there a deck instead. However the greenhouse had concrete base and because is nicely level, I wanted to leverage that in the deck building. As the deck will be bigger (the pink lines on attached images, I had originally planed to use some some fancy subframe system with height adjustable pedestals. Something like this
But now I'm thinking of doing that by making the base completely from concrete (remove the paving slabs ofc, but pouring it directly on/around the existing greenhouse base and concrete floor) and then just use something like this for the joists. As it seems generally cheaper and even easier to make level and sound.
Is it a bad idea? Should I go for subframe? Or something totally different?
thanks
