Hi,
I'm new to the forum, I have basic diy knowledge but would like to build my own decking and from what I have read on the internet could do with a little help.
I would like the decking straight from the patio door, about 12ft square.
Now there is a slight slope from the house down the garden as well as a slope from left to the right of the house as you can see from the attached picture.
So how do I go about starting the decking? Would a frame alone be suitable? Or should I lift the patio and dig holes and concrete some posts in? Or attach a length of wood to the house wall and work from that?
Any help on how to start would be very much appreciated, I feel pretty happy with building the actual frame it is just on the best way to start regarding foundations or not.
Thanks again
Wayne
