Hi, It's been really useful reading posts about low level decks here, but every one is a bit different so I'd appreciate some guidance with my project.
Intending to make a wooden deck for the front porch area of our older style cottage in Christchurch NZ. Thinking the deck can come up to the bottom of the front door sill, which is 120mm from the concrete/ground at the smallest clearance point. The concrete falls away from the house at around 2°, so with a level deck it would be 230mm from the ground at the entrance, and so needs a step.
I've read about using 90x45 framing timber as joists, haven't selected boards yet but maybe they will be 21mm thick, leaving only a small air gap maybe around 10mm. Then with a step up to 230mm at say 115mm, there's not much height to work with. So my first question is can I use 75x45 joists? What would the spacing be?
Suggestions on boards to use are welcome, often Kwila is the go-to around here...
Fixing the joists to the concrete ( which is a bit uneven), could be L brackets or maybe pedestal feet, with dynabolts.
I've drawn up a model of the deck to help convey what I'm thinking, and some photos as well. Would be great to get your ideas!
Many thanks
