i started building my deck that is 2 levels fonally--have the beams attached to the post with simpson strong tie post cap connections bcs2-2/4 problem i didn't realize is how much extra ground clerance is needed with theses items the smaller deck is 13 feet wide and extends 10 feet from the house would it be acceptable to do the bolt through method on the post deck will only be a few inches off the groun. how much clearance is needed for acceptable clearnce under the double 2x8 beams?? with post caps i will have to dig down almost 8 inches to fit the beams in and i am worried about how close this is to the ground
