Here is how to Build a floating Deck (tools and materials linked at the end): : 1. Site Preparation First, mark the layout for you deck usign some stakes and a string line. After marking the layout, I recommend that you excavate down 1 or 2 inches and apply a gravel based to facilitate compaction. However, you can also build your ground level deck on compacted soil, an existing patio or slab, etc. I rented both mini skidsteer and a plate compactor for this proeject to save myself some manual labor. After excavating, compact the soil with the plate compactor, place 2" of #57 stone, and then compact the stone. 2. Placing the Adjustable Deck Pedestals After compacting the stone and giving yourself a firm foundaiton to build off of, assemble the Bison Level Up Adjustable Deck Pedestals by following the manufacturer's recommendations. Place them 16" O.C. on both ends of the deck and make sure that they are perfectly level by adjusting the slope leveler. After confirming that each pedestal is level usign a torpedo level, use a 6' level to adjust all of the pedestals to the same height. To do this, you simply need to rotate the adjustable pedestal support. Once all of the deck pedestals are in place, you can begin the joist installation. 3. Installing the Deck Joists Using pressure treated lumber (typically 2"x6", 2"x8", 2"x10", or 2"x12"), cut you joists to length and "Crown" each of the boards to make sure the crown is up. Next, place the joists on the deck pedestals, making sure they are centered on the pedestal on both sides. Then, simply attach the joists to the pedestals using the folding straps and screws. For the outer-most joists, you will need to use framing angle hardware since the joists on the end will not be directly supported by a deck pedestal. 4. Installing the Rim Joists and Skirting Board (if needed) Once all the joists are in place, attach the Rim Joist to end of the Joists by using a bar clamp to hold it in place. Use three screws to secure the rim joist to each deck joist. If the back side of your Rim joist is obstructed (like mine was by my house), you will need to attach it using framing angles. Lastly, if you have a gap below your joists / rim joist, it is recommended that you include a bit of "skirting" reinforcement as shown in the video. 5. Installing the Decking Boards With the deck fully framed, you can install the decking boards. For my deck, I used composite decking with hidden fasteners that go in between each board - but you can use any type of decking you want! 6. Fascia Board and Final Touches For my deck Fascia, I used a peice of composite decking around the top of the perimeter. I mitered the corners and butt joints for a cleaner look. For the bottom, I used PVC fascia trim that painted black. Overall, I think the deck turned out great and it was super nice to not have to dig out concrete footers.
