Re: Low-level deck over concrete
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @englishd. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question on low-level decking.
There doesn't appear to be enough room to create a traditional deck with your height requirements. What is the total working height from the Pebblecrete to the top of the door threshold? If you were to create a deck here, you'd likely be placing timber directly on the Pebblecrete and cladding it.
You might like to read through @Adam_W's article on How to build a low-level deck, where he discusses the need for air circulation and drainage under a deck.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Re: Low-level deck over concrete
Thanks for your comments Mitchell, what do you think about cutout of the decking and stepping down to the doorway?

Re: Low-level deck over concrete
That's certainly an option @englishd, but as a general rule, you don't want a step right next to a doorway as it can become a trip hazard. You might like to lay an area outside the door at the same level and then step up onto the deck after that.
