Question

Inexpensive solution to build deck and steps for front of Mobil home

Gk · Answer

Hello JoAnn! You can build a free standing deck using deck blocks. As far as 'inexpensive' that would depend on your definition of 'inexpensive' and how big you want your deck to be. If it's just going to be a small entry way type of landing it would be about 200.00-estimated. You should use treated lumber and lumber doesn't come cheap.

If this is permanent - you will need to get a building permit in most communities.

Yes, do not use pallets or scrap wood for something that needs to hold a Live Load.

Definitely a free-standing deck because in a mobile home, there is no place to secure a ledger board. It should definitely be built using treated lumber, and concrete piers can be used but check with your local codes for requirements. I hope this helps!
