Hello, quick question on Decks..I am building a house, well I'm not a builder is building for me, although I am very involved..I have asked them to bump out where the patio door is, and the way thats going to be executed is by cantilvering out from the house 2ft, which essentially creates a concern for the deck attachment.
My question is, in this situation, is a free standing deck the best solution? Or should I just put additional piers closer to the house and attach? And lastly, is a freestanding deck attached to the house at all (yes dumb question)? Or do you just slide the final deckboard into the house to cover the gap?
My main concern is having a deck hanging off a cantilever.
Thanks for any help!
