Thanks, guys. Free-standing it is. Now ... if anyone is in the neighborhood of Wausaukee, WI, next month we've got a lot of cold ones in the fridge in exchange for a little deck building.

I think I mentioned earlier that my son has drafted me to help build a fairly large deck at his cabin. The cabin is a manufactured home elevated about two feet over a concrete slab. There is skirting running around the perimeter of the structure. The skirting is framed in 2x4s with verticle studs 16 inches on center.

So ... here's the question: can we attach the ledger board to the skirting framework? Or is a better approach a free-standing deck?

Thanks,
