3 day DIY- NO Dig Deck day 1 of 2
What happens here
Begin digging holes for the permanent support posts of the new deck. The holes are dug where the main support beams will sit, ensuring they are positioned at appropriate intervals. The video emphasizes that for this 'no-dig' floating deck, deep frost footings are not required because the deck is not directly attached to the house. The sandy soil in this location is also ideal, as it drains well and is resistant to frost heave, requiring only the removal of the top organic layer to reach stable soil.
Goal: Create foundations for the deck's support posts
