Moisture and humidity caused by evaporation will rot these low to the ground decks within 5-10 years, especially the plank boards. You need to create a trough that can channel any water away from any part under the deck.

All decks should be free standing and self supporting. If the deck you build is free standing , less than 30 inches above grade, is under 200 sq feet and the door to it is not a required egress to the home, you do not need a building permit or inspections on any part of the deck. Ledger boards are the stupidest shortcut anyone can use when building a deck.

Never done a freestanding deck so this was very interesting. Both the decks I was involved in were attached to the house. Yes level is important. My first deck was about sixty feet long, back when wood didn’t eat your wallet. We carted the wood home in a couple of trips in the back of an old Ford ranchero. The fellow at the lumber store was terrific calculating everything and no leftovers. We purchased wood so we wouldn’t have to cut the boards.

You can buy No 9 or No 10 structural 1 1/2 inch screws instead of nails for the joist hanger. With a good impact driver you can get your girlfriend on the job and it's much lighter and less scary for her to handle and she can get all those 2000 screws in for you while you cut and place the next joist. It does cost a little more than nails, but it is as strong as one (due to being structural grade) and pull all piece together, which helps in the long run with wood force in action. I had a little over 2800 screws to do on my project for the frame work. Probably did 200 (one or two screws per hanger to keep it in place for her. By the time I was ready with the next joist, she had almost all the nails of hangers and hurricane tie in of the previous joist.

11:07 yer don’t make my mistake (granted my mistake was while making a counter for my business out of wood not pouring concrete so I’ve I really needed to I could have fixed it) I basically forgot to take into account the top and bottom beam of the frame while measuring the uprights so they were way to long meaning the finished product was way to tall so what was originally meant to be a executive desk turned into luckily the perfect shop counter (like I mean it was the perfect size for an average sized human to stand at, I couldn’t have gotten it more perfect if I was actually trying to get it that size) so it worked out in the end LUCKILY but it was about a ft taller than I originally planned. This was using offcuts of wood from something that was already at the place that we were using to save cost as starting a business is expensive enough as is without needing to wast money on wood so instead of using 2x4s to build the desk I was using wood that was originally used to make a dividing wall so the beams were like 4x6 or something like that, I did a good enough job building it as in the end it could take a 30 stone (that’s around 430 pounds for you US people that don’t use stones) person laying on the desk, they actually jumped up onto it first as they were trying to brake it to show me up (they didn’t like me for reasons I never found out, you know the kind of people that just don’t like you because you are there) and it didn’t even wobble so I was quite proud of myself even if I did mess up with the measurements I did a solid job it wasn’t just a rectangle it was an L shame with the corner of the L cut of to flatten it it looked really nice when ied finished it even if I do say so myself.

Looks great. An alternative method would be to install joist-to-beam instead of joist-over-beam. You would have enough space to use 4x10" beams and 2x10" joists. You use roughly the same amount of hardware (hangers instead of hurricane straps) and definitely get away with spacing your joist at 16" centers.
