Hi

Our garden is on a slight gradient towards the back of the house and I want to build some 2.4x2.4m decking where we have turf at the moment.

I have seen some adjustable decking supports like this:

http://www.wickes.co.uk/Jouplast-Plastic-Adjustable-Decking-Risers-50-to-80mm-Pack-of-10/p/149406

Would I be ok to lay the top end of the deck (i.e. at the top of the incline) straight onto some compacted hardcore and the use these risers at the bottom of the deck (i.e. at the bottom of the incline) to make it level?

I want to avoid having to dig holes and concrete stuff in if I can help it.

Thanks

I think by doing that you would just make a big wooden trampoline.

Get the shovels out ;)
 
Corners at the very least. How many joists are you having under and what size will they be?

you could use pier deck supports if you dont want to dig , these can come in handy as you just slot post in and secure batton
