Where I can find frostline in Ontrio
(OP)
Ontario building code give 4', but I want to have a detail data for GTA. I want to build a small deck and don't want to make so deep a foundation.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

I live in Mississauga. I feel the frostline may be less than 1.2m.
It's a small deck (3mX3m) in backyard, I wish the foundation is simple as possible.

If the deck is not tied to the house, I do not see a problem with it floating, if it is, obviously things change.
You might want to check the local requirements. Is a building permit required? If so, your feelings about frostline depth might be irrelevant compared with what is required to get the building permit.

I like to separate the deck from house so it'll not need permit. I try to find the frostline because I'm afraid the foundation above frostline and may have big displacement.

I though Ontrio was Ontario with a Canadian accent, but i have to say that I am the first one to mistype things and not checking them before posting.
