I am building a raised deck, .....well its not really raised as such but the ground is uneven so its going to be secured to 100 x 100 pressure treated posts, concreted in, at various points over the frame.
I am using 47 x 150mm joists throughout with noggins etc and its all pressure treated timber etc.
I have no problem in building the frame (it is 5.2m long x 3.1m) but was wondering should I top the frame with something before putting the log cabin on top.
The log cabin has a 22mm pine tongue and groove floor and is slightly smaller than the frame I am building (its a shade under 5x3).
I am happy to use deck boards to top the frame and then build the cabin on top but it means ultimately there will be two floors and decking isn't cheap.
Could I use WBP exterior ply or any other suggestions?
thanks
P.S I made the frame that big because that is the exact space I have between a wall and a fence so the frame fills the gap nicely.
