Hi, i am looking for some advice re patio decking.. at the back of my garden it goes to a kind of slant.. it isnt that bad but is noticeable.. i would like to level it off with decking but not sure the best way to do this.. would i have to level the ground 1st and then build the decking on top or is there a way that i can build on the slant??also does someone know what kind of weight it could take? i was thinking on putting my childrens 8ft trampoline on top of it.. it would be pretty big.. i dont have the much of a big garden and the back would be the ideal place to put the trampoline to give the kids more place to play.thanks in advance

Sweet! decking should be elevated to stop rot. concrete short posts( treated) into the ground to fix level framework to, then deck frame. posts will level slope out but go to a reputable timber yard for detailed advice. email mykrobo@yahoo.co.uk and chat it over if you wish. alternatively speak to any groundworker/gardener/landscaper you see working and befriend them!
