floating deck footers

[karl]

I bought 2x8's. There will be an 8 foot span. Actually more like 7 feet because of a small cantilever on each end. I'll post some pics next week as it goes up.

All you guys that stack on pallets and logs and such. I do that too and still will at the back of the lot. What I'm trying to do is to have a decent looking place to stack close to the house. Pallets just outside the house look ugly.

Once the grass grows up around the pallet, nobody will ever know your wood is stacked on pallets. ;-P

This is a post from a while back. It is what I built using the floating cement footers. In 2 years it has yet to shift as I put it on the high side of my fenced in area. I will need to replace a couple of pallets, though. As it was said earlier, I built it for the aesthetics,as I can see the morning sun make it glow when I have my coffee in the morning. I do though stack free standing.
