Despite many attempts by others to talk me out of it I am planning to build a deck over a 4m x 3m concrete slab in the back yard. (not attached to the house).
after studying various websites and this forum this is the plan so far.
I am going to Dyna bolt 140mm x 50mm treated pine (400mm apart) to concrete using stainless steel brackets (1m apart).
The Horseshoe packers mentioned in another thread seem like a good way of getting a bit of clearance under the joists to allow drainage. The slab has a gentle slope for water to run off already, So I am wondering whether using the packers to get clearance is necessary??:?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated during this project as I am a novus.
