    I need to attached my ground level timber frame for decking to a sloped wall. How would i do this without making contact and the timber rotting from the rain?

    any help would be appreciated

    You don't, you would keep the posts back a couple of inches and sit or notch your joist framework on top or into them. Is that the timber you're planning to use? Is it treated?

    I dont want to put posts in, attaching to the wall that is there already will make it solid.

    yep its treated c16

    No not at all... surely if i have a solid concrete wall i would be best attaching to that?

    also digging down for posts isnt an option as its all massive stones and rocks underneath so unable to dig out

    So you are not putting any posts into the ground but supporting straight off the gravelled area with blocks I assume? If that's the case by the time you have built your frame and boarded it out it will weigh a ton and wont be going anywhere so there is no need to tie it to your wall

    Being difficult to dig, and can’t dig, not the same thing
