I am thinking of digging down 8 inches, then putting down landscape fabric and then 3 inches of gravel, with treated four-by-fours and cedar two-by-sixes. Would this work? - Steve in Calgary A:It may work, but first a couple of considerations. First, will the area drain well (does it slope away from or into the deck site)? The depression you will be creating could create a pond of rain or melt water, which would shorten the life of the lumber. Second, you might consider digging a little deeper. Use course crushed rock and add weeping tile at the lowest side. The tile will help run water away, and form a sump of sorts. The coarse stone holds less moisture and adds to the lumber lifespan. In any event, the level-to-surface deck won't last as long as above-grade decks, but these ounces of prevention could maximize life for you. -Canadian Home Workshop Pro Don Ross For more questions and answers, or to send questions yourself, go to the Ask A Pro <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=906070&newsletterID=11435&memberID=54635 3&format=HTML> section of our website. ________________________________ project <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=906071&newsletterID=11435&memberID=54635 3&format=HTML> You can also post messages or read what other readers have to say at the Workshop Buzz Forum <http://transcontinental.icongo.com/frontEndComponents/genericComponents /newsletterTrackLink.cfm?linkID=906062&newsletterID=11435&memberID=54635 3&format=HTML> .
