Has anyone built a ground level deck? If so any pointers?
I have been reading, and it seems the composite is not good for ground level decks because of mold and moisture issues (Less then 12 inches). The alternative is to use PVC / Plastic decking... I went to the lumber yard yesterday and got a sample of this - > http://www.azek.com/azek-deck/
Problem obviously with the composite and PVC style is the $$$.... However, if I'm going to do a deck I want something that will last me for a long time, and work with the limited space I have. Where the deck will meet the house I'll have to rip down 2x6's that will lay on an old cement slab, the rest of the deck will rest on footings I'll put in.
Anyways, any suggestions / idea's / tips?
