How to build deck over a patio with a slope?

Hello Experts

 

Just a quick question. How do I negotiate a slope when building a deck on a patio which has a slope, away from the building.

 

Pics enclosed. I intend to use dyna bolt the angle brackets.

 

Your help will be much appreciated.

 

Best regards

Re: Decking on a patio with a slope

Hi @jinugu,

 

You can deal with the slope by packing under the joists in the lower areas until the deck is level. Once you’ve packed it to the right height, drill through the timber at the correct position and secure it to the angle brackets with bolts. Essentially, you’re just lifting the timber where needed to create a flat, even surface for your decking.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
