Raised decking platform - pics

[NeilScotland]

Isn't it all kinda bull$hit anyway, given you (customer) can stand in their conservatory (Which I assume did get approval)... and look in on the neighbours garden..... it's the same height as the deck.... or am i missing something?

Thanks for all the feedback. Here is a finished photo. 

 

The sub frame is 200/50.  Legs are 200mm x 200mm with x2 lap joints for x2 cross beams. 1 at the top on the front face bolted through and another on the rear side opposite and sitting diagonally under the front beam, also bolted. 

 

Foot plates are stainless steel uprights bored in and pinned inside the uprights and then bolted to the concrete footings.

Very interested in that footplate idea.  I have a deck that sits in wet ground - well it's not always like that but during prolonged rain it can get saturated - and after 10 years the wooden support posts have rotted out.  I was thinking about big ground screws but they get expensive as the ground slopes and at it's highest the joists are 600mm above ground level.  How did you bore the posts out and where did you source the foot plates?

 

cheers
