[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3390162, member: 14646"] No. I would not use that method for a deck. If building a property line fence or similar then yes. For a patio/deck application that you probably want to last 10-20 years then, no. Dependent on slope and size of deck I' spend the extra money and use smaller 24" long X 8" diameter sonotubes and put brackets on top for your beams. Similar to this but on a much smaller scale. I like spending other peoples money. :yelclap: [ATTACH=full]167895[/ATTACH] If you are going to stick with something on the less expensive side and quicker build aspect I'd look at using this bagged foam in place of using concrete in the post holes. OUr neighbor used it and it was pretty slick and probably has no water transfer into the wood compared to concrete. Pull up some vids. Easy stuff to use.
