Abstract
A deck construction includes a concrete pier block having an upwardly opening recess forming an anchor seat for building elements. The recess opens out the side so that building elements can be laid horizontally therein. The recess also includes a central socket for receiving an upright pillar. The recess has particular dimensions for use with conventional existing lumber sizes and also for forming a strong but inexpensive concrete pier block for residential use.
