It’s decking time at the allotment! Partner wants a yoga deck for practice and no doubt it’ll end up being used for eating out on etc as well.
At the most basic end of it we’re looking at an 8ft x 8ft(ish) deck as close to the floor as required to level it(site is very slightly sloped) and at the fancier end maybe with a veranda over the top and a storage box for blankets/mats and shit.
One issue we have is that we’re not allowed to pour concrete at the allotments under any circumstances, are metpost still a thing?
I’ve not bought materials for this sorta stuff so no idea of costs but I’m assuming 4x4 frame and noggins then just whack the decking over the top?
Can I assemble the frame on site and level it by just twatting the corners til the posts are where I want them?
I presume if doing veranda it needs to be done from the outset as they’ll form the corner of the deck?
I’ve laboured on this sorta stuff before but never planned or costed it up. Got the tools and prob the skills but never tried. Not being able to use postmix or anything does make it daunting tho...
