π Did you know that if your deck doesn't exceed 2' you don't need a deck permit OR railings?
Your deck construction doesn't change, it's just as sturdy with 16" or 12" oc spacing, with the use of hangers on each joist, and so on.
Why do ground level deck then? Well, maybe you don't want to sit above your purposely built 4' fence to not disrupt the views? Or maybe you want to cut some cost on permits & aluminum railing?
Either way - this is a fantastic use of this space! Low maintenance, no grass to mow, and more room for lounging & sun bathing. βοΈ
