    Default Bearers Thickness

    Hi all

    What would be the minimum post footing size to use for a deck only with no pergola?? I have read somewhere that 450mm is the minimum and this seams a little over the top.

    Can anyone please shed some light.

    Thanks

    Pat

    The pad size is related to the area of deck supported.
    230*230*100 deep or 250 diam*100 deep is minimum
