On this particular project the height was 97.5" - The yard had a slope to it so homeowner had to landscape the bottom to make it level at the bottom of the step.

How far does the deck come out from the house?

No info attached - Any direct heat onto decking that's treated, stained, varnished etc will not necessarily have a fire risk, but it is likely to draw the moisture out of the timber and leave it a different colour. I'd recommend putting it on a good base. I'd be inclined to cut through the decking to expose the ground below, build shuttering up to the required height, slightly above the level of the deck and fill it with concrete. That would be completely safe. Alternatively, sit it on a thick and large paving slab.

Filling it up with very small gravel might help (not a cheap option, though!), and encasing the underside and gaps in a couple of layers of very fine mesh (you can buy Mouse Mesh), at least against the larger unwelcome visitors (rats and foxes), but you will have to resign yourself to probably having mice, I'm afraid. As previously stated on this thread, ensure you keep all food scraps etc out of the garden (unfortunately bird feeders etc will contribute, make sure you clean up the ground below them daily), and keep the area clean and tidy. If you do find mice or rats, call the council immediately and they will send someone to deal with it. Some councils will do this for free, but others charge a small fee for private properties. Worth noting though that they are usually cheaper than the commercial firms, and come back free of charge within a certain time period, if you have a return of the problem! Finally, make sure that you have had a good go at mouseproofing your home - if you give them somewhere to live in the garden, they will then try to get into the house once the weather gets cooler. Seal airbricks with mouse mesh, fill small holes with sand cement and steel wool, and so on. Personally... I'm getting a patio!

Replacing conservatory with decking/patio
Q

Hi, I notice your post was back in July, so not sure if you still need advice? Anyway, my brother is a builder and he laid decking over my rather tatty patio a few years ago and it really is an improvement. He built a framework a few inches above the old patio, and laid the decking onto that. I notice on garden makeover shows that they sometimes lay decking over untidy concrete structures, so I would imagine the same can be done on your old conservatory base. It’s funny, conservatories are a bit like marmite - you either love them or hate them!
