Thanks for the reply. I can see how the water could be an issue. What
if I attached the joists to the concrete with angle brackets? Would
this keep the water off the wood and allow for it to flow out
naturally? It is underneath a roof and generally doesnt get much
water as is, but better safe than sorry. Cheers


The roof is an advantage but moisture still plays a role.

The bracket will work providing it keeps the wood off the concrete.
Something like this is the idea...

Something like that would perhaps make it possible to hose or blow out
the crud that builds up and holds moisture to cause rot.
