A solid foundation for a terrace
Every worker knows:Before you start laying any flooring, you need to create a base first. Even underfloor heating is never laid directly on concrete. Unfortunately, most consumers are not aware of how much these structures extend the life of the flooring, and continue to perceive the joists as additional unnecessary expenses. And, I must say, in vain. After all, if you think about it, building a terrace is no different from building a house. Here, too, you need a foundation for the terrace.

Therefore, such a foundation for a terrace guarantees a long service life of an open terrace. Even oak cannot boast of such a set of excellent qualities, and meanwhile, the cost of products made of Siberian larch is somewhat lower. And what other tree produces so many useful substances?
