    It can be done. My husband made a frame with

    treated 2x4s then attached 2x12s with treated

    screws that wouldn't rust . I do not know all the

    technical details but ours looks so much better

    than the ugly concrete slab. This picture shows

    a small section to give you an idea of how ours

    turned out.

    they make post bases that can be screwed down to the concrete. that way you deck wont move.
