[QUOTE="tikkalover, post: 340682, member: 600"] What's this code thingy you are talking about?? ;:;rofl I've put 2 decks on my house. They are attached to the house sill plate with 6" lag screws. On the edge away from the house every 4' I put cement blocks on top of the ground with short 4x4s down to those to level it up. Front deck is 8'x20'. Frame work is 2"x8" treated lumber. Top of deck is 10" off the ground. Back deck is 12'x28'. Frame work is 2"x10" treated lumber. Top of deck is 10" off the ground on one end and 20" on the other end. Joists on both are 16" on center. I used Ultradecking, (the solid kind), I think the color is red cedar, on the back deck (north side of house)but used the middle grade and it has faded over the years. :(Attached it with the T clips. It has a white vinyl railing on it. Front deck (south side of house)has cedar on it but it has weathered over the years and will soon be replaced with a better grade of Trex decking.
