Pour concrete floor on elevated patio?
Hello, we are going to build a patio that will be about 80 cm above the ground, and we don't want a wooden surface; instead, we want the floor to be concrete. Does anyone have tips or comments on this? We will build the foundation in wood like a regular veranda/deck, but then, as mentioned, we want to pour the floor in concrete.
Is it completely "off the charts" to do so?

It will require some heavy artillery given the weights involved, but you can probably rent that. Do you need to prepare the ground in any way for this? Again, considering the weight... the house has a basement and thus drainage...
