Hi
Can someone give me some clues.
I need to build a deck about 7inches in height from a level(ish) half concrete (right hand side) half MOT type 2 (left hand side).
It is to extend about 3ft and 1ft is a concrete step.
I cant put the decking boards directly onto the step bit because it is too low.
Heres what i am thinking.
Place some 1/2 thick timber along the step and secure this into place by drilling it. This will give me my level for the deck on the step side.
On the raised bit (the 7 inches) i dont know whether to go through the pain of posts because it is such a small height. Is there an alternative like bricks for example or cementing some slabs/bricks etc?
I dont mind doing the post bit but not too sure if it is that necessary.
