Hello
I realised this has been done to death but I'm in the planning phase of a low level deck. Just hoping to get some simple, sound advice.
The deck will be 8m X 5m and will replace our paved area in the alfresco. The part where I'm scratching my head is deciding to build on top of the existing paving or ripping the oavers up to gain a bit more height. I want to set the deck flush with the zero brick level, the measurement from paver to zero brick is 75mm but if the pavers get pulled the measurement will be 135mm. The tightest measurement that I can think of is using a builders edge pedestal foot at 35mm on a 50mm paver plus a 90 x45mm joist and the ekodeck board will be 23mm thick which in total will be 198mm.
Is it just a simple case of losing sand to make it higher or can the pedestal foot rest on something thinner than a 50mm paver.?.
Kind regards
