Concrete footings not levelled properly

I poured a couple of concrete footings (12inch diameter for 6by 6 post) for an outdoor deck, that go about 4 feet deep. I ve tried to levelled as much as possible but unfortunately the the top of footings are not levelled properly 100% and Thera are still little different

What should I do should ? Should I ignore it which I don't prefere ? Please can you help with solution?
Btw: my deck height is 70 inch height which is a balcony
Regards

Shouldn't matter, just adjust your post height accordingly.

Which material to choose for my porch screening?

M

misterno123 on Jun 22, 2017

I have this porch with all wood standings. But on the floor it is some kind of red brick or tile I am not sure. So here are my questions 1) If money is not an issue, then wood or pvc or aluminium is the best way to go in terms of durability which is the most important and the looks.? 2) What should we use to attach the material to the ground? Do we need some kind of concrete puncher? 3) Is magnetic strip or door better more durable in the long run? How about looks? 4) Are there different types of screening? What do you recommend for the most natural look again money is not an issue [url=https://hizliresim.com/PrP4Bv][/url]Read More

Roof on existing deck structure...

Y

We are rebuilding our deck and planned it accordingly so we could eventually put a roof on top. Now, we decided that we might as well do it right away. It's currently sitting at about 5' above the ground and my question is: how do I sit my 6x6 for the roof over the existing 6x6? Should I replace them for extra long ones (like 16')? Any piece of hardware I can use to avoid this? [ATTACH]82297[/ATTACH]Read More
