The deck is almost in-line with the alfresco door/window.. when I spoke to termite protection guy, he said no wood work should come above the termite protection barrier (which is usually one brick below)... This will make the protection ineffective and probably void warranty...
Something to consider....
Thanks, we have considered that and have put washers between the bricks and the joists to ensure a 25mm gap to comply with visual inspection requirements necessary to maintain warranty. We'll use screws to enable the boards to be lifted in case further inspection is required. We have also left the weepholes uncovered. So it should be fine.
