[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 340727, member: 315"] Cons-they move around. Which leads to the following -eventually tearing your fasteners loose for the ledger board hangers -if they don’t have ledger boards I’ve seen many rise up to a height higher than the patio door threshold so you trip -impossible to keep your railing in decent shape. They constantly loosen up due to the movement -steps get all kinds of wacked out and due to the movement eventually part says with its connection to the deck -deck itself can get so unlevel you struggle to even walk across it -posts eventually loosen up to where the decks structural integrity is in question. can you build a floating deck and it last? Absolutely. They don’t all do this. It’s 100% depending on the weather,soil conditions and amount of moisture. Basically you just have to decide if it’s worth the risk and will I have the money or desire to repair it. In honesty it’s no more work to do it right in a way that will no doubt last. [/QUOTE]
