Building A Floating Deck | with Composite Decking

In this video I show you how to build a floating deck... from setting the deck blocks so they won't be seen when complete, framing the deck with the proper hardware and then finishing it off with composite decking with no visible fasteners. Thanks for watching! Have an AWESOME day!

And a BIG thank you to @strongtie for sponsoring this video!

I thought your project looked great and professional. This was one of the better videos I could find of someone using deck blocks. Thanks.

I watched a lot of videos on building a deck, and yours combines the best approaches from all of them. Thank you 💓

[TerraVivus]

Wow. Much respect. You built that extremely well.

Hi. Great of you to share this. Sawing Pressure Treated Wood - you really should have a breathing respirator on. The chemicals released in the saw dust are pretty nasty. My local lumber supply won't even to agree to make cuts in their yard - even with a respirator on. You might want to go back and warn everyone else.

This is the best tutorial by far I have watched.

ok. I need to have 4 more cups of coffee. I thought she was building a floating deck that could float on the pool.. = 😍

Well done project. The dance after achieving the frame square resembled a touchdown celebration dance. Lol.

[drewcama]

Good use of those speed clamps and the corner tool to keep things square. I'm going to make myself some.

Thank you! Your comments and directions were the best guide for the DIYers I've seen. Plus, the deck is sturdy and beautiful for any purpose. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Lovely video! This deck will hold for decades. One recommendation tho, when you cut ground contact it is a good practise to seal the exposed wood.

Huh, you learn something everyday. I've never seen joist tape before. Really great job there. You should change your channel name to The Awesome Possum - because possums really are awesome! Allow me to return the favor, instead of toenailing screws in where the blocks are, you can add a lot more tensile strength if you use some small right angle stainless steel mending plates. You certainly don't have to but they just make your deck that much stronger and they're cheap to boot.

Awesome job. Very well done. I will use your video as a guide when I start my floating deck project.

[stacipotts]

[westhavenor]

Excellent how-to video! This is the exact deck I want to build this coming spring. Composite decking is expensive, but I want something that I don't have to re-stain every two years.

[marthabradas]

Thank you for sharing your deck build and all your knowledge and experience! Great video!

[jamskof]

great job! so many builders overdoing decks by not doing the floating method.. that things going nowhere.!

[DominickDahbour]

Thank you, this helps me learn to build with you!😀

[jonikellyl.m.t.]

Makes me want to buy a house so I can install a floating deck! Very cool!
