Replacing the deck on my house. It will be 8x16. The one I just tore down lasted 14 years before it rotted. Height will be 3 feet to the floor. I’m wanting to rebuild this one to last. My plan is to pour concrete for the 4x4 posts with a bracket installed to hold each post. How deep should I pour the concrete for each post. Or is setting the post in concrete with gravel at the bottom a better option? Main goal is to delay rot as long as possible. Decking will be trex. Also I’m in S. Ga so ground freeze isn’t a concern.
Also figuring to use 8 inch forms.
