I live in ct.and just found out about the deckman. My concern is when my yard gets real wet the soil gets soft. Will the base of the stands tend to sink under the weightoof the lumber. And if so is there any way to prevent this from happening.

Even on poor soil conditions, your deck will not sink. DekBrands Floating Foundation Deck Systems are designed as a "weight distribution system", spreading the weight EVENLY across the ground. It is essential that you follow the layout provided in the plans or the recommended spacing of Dek-Block® piers.

There is a simple non-technical method to determine if your soil is suitable for a DekBrands Floating Foundation Deck System: the shoe print test. Under normal situations, if a person's shoe sinks into the ground more than 1/2 inch while they are walking, the soil may not be suitable for construction and corrections need to be made.
