Fine Homebuilding and Custom Construction
Deck foundation options include the following



1    Metal Technopost

This is the preferable method as it is fully certified, budget friendly, and has a minimal impact on your yard.  The majority of our decks are installed with these posts.

2    Concrete footing and sonotube

This is the more traditional approach which uses a large footing (3ft x 3ft) buried four feet underground.  On top of this, a concrete pillar is cast to support your deck.  Unless your project requires other excavation, concrete and formwork, this method is expensive and disruptive to the surroundings.

3    Other

In some cases clients are not able to identify where a septic field lies, or the location of underground cables, water lines etc.  In these circumstances, we can evaluate whether an alternative method is possible such as grade beams or surface pads.
