What happens here

This video provides detailed instructions and insights into framing a multi-tiered deck structure directly over an existing concrete slab. It covers crucial design considerations for elevation changes, material selection for the substructure, techniques for ensuring proper drainage and stability, and the process of attaching joists and blocking to create a robust and level deck frame. The project specifically addresses challenges like cutting back an existing concrete slab to accommodate lower deck sections and integrating the new deck frame with existing structural elements like a retaining wall and house foundation.
