Hey, thanks for the help, but I'm not familiar with some of this...
What is " 1 1/2 sleeper system"? It sounds like a support layer under the decking itself... Is this right?

My main concern was the gluing of composite to concrete-- would I have to prep the concrete at all, etc. The guy at the local orange big box said I could use construction adhesive (decking direct to concrete) but it would start to come loose in 5-6 years....
