Re: Concrete footing or not?

I agree with Bob, as long as the soil is halfway decent and you use enough piers to distribute the weight, you shouldn't have any problems. I built our old mobile home decks, on a slope, using nothing more than leveled piers on top of the ground. Because of the slope the back deck ended up about 5 feet above grade at the back edge. We knew the mobile home was only temporary, so we did not want to pour concrete footings. Despite being built over fill, those decks stood ruggedly for 13 years till we sold the mobile and tore down the decks. No sign of settling whatsoever. I used about 12 deck blocks for the back 8'x10' deck on the slope, and 4 blocks for the front 5'x5' deck. Anthony . |
