Hey! I'm looking to build a ground-level deck, same dimensions as the canopy pictured, to replace the existing pebble surface (see photo). There are just a few things I'd like to clear up with your assistance...
1. In the photo you can see that my yard slopes downward. I would like for the high side to be about even with the top of the deck, so the frame facing that end would be underground.
In this case is it ok to use a treated 2x6 as the face of the deck in contact with the soil? (I'm thinking about potential rot and any pressure from the sloping yard). Alternatives?
2. Any preference for the direction of laying the deck surface? I'm leaning toward laying them vertically.
3. The canopy frame has screw holes along each corner. Any suggestions for mounting and supporting the canopy sufficiently without damaging the deck surface?
Thank you!
