Want to use the "click" together patio deck squares but uneven ground

Nichole
by Nichole
The concrete of the back patio is mostly flat but there is a strange drop off next to the house on one side, where the dog kennel area begins. Should I fill this with concrete or just have a step down? How well do the click together deck tiles do on uneven parts? i want to avoid water sitting on them, possibly damaging. Thanks!

    I think you're safer using them on a flat surface. I would try and even the ground out (maybe with a plank of wood) before installing them.

      thanks! It's hard to describe the drop off. It's like an actual step down. probably 7 inches... not just a little uneven. Think I'll have to level it with concrete like the patio?

    Definitely try to even out the ground first . Any deck or flooring has to be laid on a level surface .

    I just installed these tiles on my poor old worn out deck with beautiful results. I agree, the flatter the surface, the better. They are fairly rigid and will not snap together properly if they are on an uneven surface.

    advantage lumber sells these pedestals for their deck tiles that will allow you to do this
