Building A Floating Deck Frame. Only a few inches off the ground, this platform takes a little time but is easy once you get going. A floating deck adds a great elevated place to sit and enjoy a view of a yard.
We designed this deck to be a freestanding deck, we did this because in the county he lives in a deck attached to the building becomes taxable.
Often, the posts supporting them are not visible, giving the deck its floating appearance. This is the keyword i kept coming back to, and let me tell you it's not easy to find the perfect tutorial for a solo amateur. Here is how i built a deck in my backyard.it's a floating deck, which means it simply rests on blocks at ground level, and is the area where my main deck frame was going to be was a pretty tight fit, so i built the frame out in my yard and moved it into place once it was complete. The exterior framing is 2x10 lumber.
