All the more reason to check local building codes! Our concrete footers need to go below the frost line before you can attach a deck to it if you want any type of structure on it.

Oh, right. The concrete footers need to be below frostline of course. The posts need to be above ground though. Posts can't be in the concrete.

All things considered it's much cheaper to do it posts above ground vs in-ground. Less wood.

But yes! Definitely check your local building codes 😁
