How to build low-level decking over concrete slab?

[Sujoy]

Hi All, 

Newbie here and started doing small DIY stuff like making merbau planter boxes :). Now I am planning to start my decking and found this forum extremely helpful gaining the basic knowledge about decking, especially guidance from @MitchellMc in similarly low level decking threads. Here is my project details (please refer the photo attached -

• Total area - 6.3mx4m 
• Clearence at Point#A:140mm, house slab sloping towards Point#B:150mm and then concrete apron sloping another 40mm, so total clearance at C is 190mm. 
• Joists will be as shown in the photo and bearers just connecting end of the joists at A and C. 
• Will attach the bearer to brick wall A with 10mm gap (using shims) and planning to joist hanger and L-brackets to hold the joists. 
• Have granite pebbles in D, planning to use pavers + EcoDeck Bigfoot in that area to hold the joists. 
• Will be using 90x45mm H3 pine for bearer and joists and 140x19mm merbau, so total height for joist + merbau is 109mm. 

Questions: 

1. Ground clearance in A is 31mm (140 - 109), B is 41mm (150-109) and C is 81mm (190-109). Based on this, is L-bracket a good option? If yes which L-bracket should I choose? 

2. With L-backets, I probably have to use shims underneath the joists, isn't 81mm too high for using shims? what are the other options I got? Looking for options other than EcoDek foot (planning only to use it in the pebbles area D). 

3. Need help with detail specs of dynabolts, L-brackets etc. suitable for the above project. 

Many thanks :).

Afternoon @Sujoy 

Very nice indeed! Can see that smile on your face!

It looks great and I love the colouring! 

Are you tempted to put the whole job into a Project? I would be Def something to be proud of!
