The EASIEST Way To Build A Ground Level Deck - NO FOOTINGS!
What happens here
Construct the retaining wall using 6x6 pressure-treated timbers, stacked three boards high. The timbers are secured using long structural screws. Ensure the top of the retaining wall is perfectly level and at the specified height, which is marked on the timber. This wall will serve as an anchor point and a visual boundary for the lowest deck tier.
Goal: Build a stable and level retaining wall for the deck.
