What about foundations and supports fit your deck?

Thanks Gwyn for your comment.
Really enjoying your videos. Learning a lot. Great points of reference.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate the support.
Ground screws seem to be becoming popular now as a concrete-free means of supporting decking. One to consider?
Hi Adam. Ground screws are indeed a good option. I’ve never used them due to the amount of plant you have to transport. You can of course, sub contract to a company but then cost is the issue. What I’m trying to do with the channel is show what I think is the easiest and, more importantly with all construction, the fastest way to do things, through my own experiences. Spending a few pounds on a post hole digger, as a self builder, and a weekend of your time and some rewarding graft…surely that’s worth a two grand saving in cash? ;). Thanks a lot for the comment.
Good quality composite is better. No maintenance
See my next video. I’ll talk about maintenance there😉. But… thanks for your comment.
