Does anyone have any experience with Dek-Block Piers? I would like to build a "floating deck" so that my table and grill is not on the grass. I was thinking that I could just build a "box" with some supports inside. When I googled "floating decks" the dek-block system came up. If all you want to do is keep stuff out of the dirt do you really need all that much support.
I am a do-it-yourselfer but not a CE or ME - just a ChemE - also a female building it on her own. I have rebuilt a deck that was attached to a house before. Basically replacing all the floor boards and shoring up the supports.
I am trying to do this for as little as possible - just to get thru 1 or 2 summers.
Location: North Shore, Mass
Thanks for any advice
