Hi Glen,
There's a couple of cubic metres of concrete at the base of the pier under the decking, and the pier passes up through both levels of decking with 1cm clearance. It was hard work getting the chippies to accept that they couldn't bolt the decking supports to the pier but I won that one! I built this just as my wife won her battle to get me to build a new house for her, so I was able to incorporate all this into the design. I just wish it was 100 km away from the CBD instead of 10!
