How to level the frame for decking?

Hi everyone , 

I am trying to build the composite deck in my alfresco . As the conceret floor is little bit uneven all around and the level of the concrete with the entry door is just 133mm high .And the size of the deck i am trying to build is 5050×3131mm. So  just wanted to know how can i level the base for the decking without laying the structure in the ground and level with the door ( if possible bit low than the door level). Thank you all in advance

Here is a link to a discussion that addresses some of your queries about how to level your build: Low-level decking construction. In it, you will also find recommendations on how to layout the frame so that it matches the height of your entry door.

Pedestal feet, or Klevaklip adjustable joist hangers - depending on your frame construction style.
