    I'm building a Deck to the side of my mobile. (See attached files for pic & measurements).
    It's in a site by the coast in Clare & I'm doing 2 things.
    1- trying to find a decking / timber supplier in the Limerick / Clare / Galway area where I can price what I need.
    2- looking for actual advice on constructing it. I've excellent construction skills but just never done this job before. So looking for steps / advice.

    Thanks!

    You tube channel called houseimprovements does a series of videos on exactly that a decking on a prefab type dwelling from post installing barer struts runners and boards plus railings and steps including how to get proper ratio for steps. Good luck.

    Would be worth checking neighbouring mobile homes to see how they've anchored into the ground and if they've had any issues with the park owners about pouring concrete etc. It's want to be pretty solid given the weather we get in Clare.
