Our house is, for unclear reasons, very high compared to ground level compared to the garage/storage. We intend to build a deck at this level to align with the "path" between the house and garage. The idea is to have the deck on concrete slabs as the height will be so low.

The red lines on the picture indicate how the beams are supposed to run. Do you think it would work to place them only on concrete slabs as well, or is there some way to anchor them to the existing deck despite the difference in height? The idea is also to fill in the "holes" under the existing deck. We have chosen 170x45 for the beams.
 
  • Red lines show proposed beam placement on gravel near house and concrete structure, highlighting the intended deck area for level alignment.
It is possible to anchor it to an existing deck, or alternatively use ground screws/earth anchors.

Don't forget drainage, and where the water goes in the event of a heavy downpour.
 
Yes, I also have a thought to attach to the existing deck, but I'm pondering how to best do that in this case.

Paving stones could also be an option that works for getting low fastening.

The drainage was newly done last fall with new pipes, etc., in connection with the digging before they laid the gravel.
