 decking like in the yard. Am I better off doing that or poured concrete? There are prefabricated footings for decks. They look sort of like pyramids, but they're not like one by one. They're like one by one by about three feet tall, and they have a place for a bracket on top. I've used those. They work really well. They're a little harder to install because you've got to be more accurate with where the hole is.
