THat sounds like it would work pretty good. How big are these posts and how do you drive them into the ground?

I wouldn't worry too much about getting below frost line with a deck. I might keep your deck more level but you shouldn't notice any big difference. I think frost line in Calgary is around 4 to 5 feet.
