  • We decided to build a DIY Floating patio for our backyard. It was really easy to build and cost less than 500 dollars. Everything we used was found at Lowes!

    Just finished building a 14ft x 7ft decking, real chuffed with it, took me the best part of 3 days but then again on me own and also have MS, but real pleased with it, great video bud.👍👍

    I’m building an 8x8 floating and this video was the best one I found. Because it was literally just a regular guy getting it done, I guess I can relate with you!

    Love the dek blocks. I built a similar floating deck years ago and it lasted a long time. My wife loved it so much I ended up expanding it over the years. Think I started with a 12x12 and expanded to 16x24’. I also ended up with rails and a steps too. Quite frankly that deck ended up helping to sell the house!

    I saw the patio umbrella over part of your new deck. Academy Sports also has 10 X 10 collapsible canopies. I bought mine for about $40, and Samantha, they come in colors! They Definitely have orange!

    That looks great. We did something similar about 2 years ago. Our house was built in the 60's and the concrete patio was unlevel and cracked due to tree roots. We built a 12 x 16 floating deck over the patio and connected it to another 16 x 30 floating deck over an area of the backyard the slopes heavily. We now use the space for crawfish boils, bar-b-ques and get-togethers.

    You have to do a little finish trim around the bottom edge. Then tie in your step, just one . And make it long. Like 5/6 foot.

    For no higher off the ground it is just use the concrete blocks with 2 holes in them. That would make the perfect height step. If you have one laying around try it and see

    Good job. In addition to being a fisherman I am a retired Structural Engineer and Builder. On the leveling aspect? Your lot is FLAT. So, you did it the most expedient way. If the terrain were more sloped, you’d dig the piers into grade and use 4x4 Posts to come up to finished grade and deck frame. But, really nice space outside. Now consider a Smoker, Pizza Oven, Grill? You could just stay/live out there. Great job. Enjoy your posts.

    @chrisE815 4 года назад

    Happy Friday, Yak! Concerning the future stair build, if you are only building one step, you want the depth to be much larger than a standard step (which is around 11.25"/nominal 2x12). I think a depth of ~16 inches is about right. I learned that lesson the hard way.
