Build Your Dream Floating Deck in Few Hours With A-DIY Floating Deck Kits

Save thousands on contractor fees with our professional-grade floating deck kit. A-DIY modular deck kits deliver professional-quality results at DIY prices. Every kit arrives complete, so you have everything you need to create a beautiful outdoor space.

What Makes Floating Deck Kits Special

A floating deck, also called a freestanding deck, is a standalone platform that rests on the ground without being attached to your home. Unlike traditional decks that require deep concrete footings and complex construction, our floating deck kits use a revolutionary modular design that snaps together like building blocks.

Perfect for Any Backyard

  • Uneven terrain? Our adjustable deck blocks level it out
  • Mature trees? No digging means you won't damage roots
  • Renters? Take it with you when you move
  • Temporary solution? Easy to disassemble and relocate

Faster Than Traditional Decks

Traditional deck building takes 2-3 weeks and costs $8,000-$15,000. Our floating deck kits install in few hours and cost 40% less.

Complete Creative Freedom

Place your floating deck anywhere in your yard – near the pool, in a sunny corner, under shade trees, or as a backyard retreat away from the house.

FAQs

Do I need a permit for a floating deck?

In most areas, ground-level floating decks under a certain height (typically 30") don't require permits because they're not permanently attached to a structure. However, regulations vary by location. We recommend checking with your local building department. Even if a permit isn't required, our floating deck kits are engineered to exceed standard building codes.

How long does it take to assemble a floating deck kit?

Most customers complete assembly in under 1 hour. The exact time depends on the size of your deck and number of helpers, but our patent-pending design eliminates all cutting, measuring, and guesswork. Everything fits together perfectly, just like Lego blocks.

What tools do I need?

All you need is a power drill. We even include the drill bit! No saws, no special tools, no trips to the hardware store.

Can I install a floating deck on uneven ground?

Absolutely! Our adjustable deck blocks allow you to create a perfectly level deck surface on uneven terrain. Simply adjust the height of each block to compensate for slopes or dips in your yard.

How much does a floating deck kit cost?

Our floating deck kits range from $2,000-$4,000 depending on size and material choice (pressure-treated or composite). This is 40-60% less expensive than hiring a contractor, who typically charges $8,000-$15,000 for comparable work.

Can I move or relocate my floating deck?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of floating decks is that they're not permanent. You can disassemble and relocate your A-DIY floating deck kit if you move or redesign your yard.

What's included in the floating deck kit?

Everything! All lumber pieces (pre-cut and pre-drilled), all galvanized screws, deck blocks (TuffBlocks), drill bit, and access to our 3D assembly app. The only thing you need to supply is a power drill.

How do I know what size floating deck kit to order?

We offer several standard sizes to fit most backyards. If you're unsure, our design team provides free consultations. Send us photos and measurements of your space, and we'll recommend the perfect size.

What's the difference between pressure-treated and composite floating deck kits?

Pressure-treated kits use premium Grade 1 KDAT lumber, natural wood that's affordable and can be stained. Composite kits use low-maintenance synthetic decking that never needs sealing and comes with a 25-year warranty. Both use the same strong pressure-treated subfloor structure.
