First time poster and not a builder. Just wondering if the below is
possible:

I want to deck over our front porch (~1m x 4m). The porch is currently
tiled over a concrete slab. I was thinking of laying joists over the
top and then decking on top of that; however, I was wondering if you
can lay joists down so they arent as tall? I understand that this
will make the deck less stable in a normal circumstance, but will this
be the same as the concrete slab is already there? If I have the
joists standing upright then it will be too tall for our entry way.
Thoughts?


If you like having more maintenance to do, cover the tile with wood.

Way to tell him why and the proper method, pea brain. Do you offer
anything of use being in here?
