Hi,
I am going to get a raised deck built to cover a terraced area of garden. The highest point of the deck is appox 1m. above ground level. The deck will be approx 5m by 5m. I've had a local carpenter around to give me a quote and I asked him about how he would lay the posts and he said they would sit on concrete slabs but not secured into the ground or be physically attatched to the slabs. Is this acceptable because i thought the posts would have had to be in the ground as with a fence.
