[QUOTE="Froglaw, post: 2977376, member: 4921"] I had a contractor build my Man Deck for $65k. Itrs about 20 x 20, but not a square. To keep it from moving or cracking they created two "beams" out of the concrete pour that were approximately 3 feet deep. At the corner, they poured a huge Box of Concrete to support the weight of the outdoor stone fireplace. Talk to a contractor who has built decks. Let him know what you intend to put on the slab and where. And don't forget plumbing and gas lines that you'll want for an outdoor kitchen. I decided not to go cheap, I paid the premium associated with a contractor job, and i love my Man Deck. Great place to watch TCU sports, etc. I knew this contractor pretty well as he'd done smaller jobs for me in the past. He said to never go cheap (in my case thin) on the foundation. Four years now and no problems. Also, don't forget the building permits. A good contractor handles that for you. Not a good feeling when Code Enforcement shows up and starts writing citations.
