The dekblox work really well. The materials calculator on their site is a little to pro using more of their material. For my 10x16 deck, I used 12 piers.

Glad to hear it worked and only settled a bit. Our planned area is settled, so there shouldnt be too much frost heave, but the beauty of a floating deck is being able to just jack it up a bit if there are any issues
