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.
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.
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.
We've taken the complexity, cost, and hassle out of building floating deck boards. Our DIY deck kits arrive with every piece pre-cut, pre-drilled, and engineered to fit together perfectly. You don't need to be a contractor. You just need a free afternoon and a power drill.
Select your size and material (pressure-treated or composite). Not sure which size? Our design team offers free consultations to help you find the perfect fit for your backyard.
Your floating deck kit arrives with everything you need, including lumber, screws, deck blocks, a drill bit, and assembly instructions. Follow our step-by-step guide and watch your deck come together in few hours.
That's it! In less time than it takes to watch a movie, you've created a beautiful outdoor space perfect for BBQs, relaxation, and making memories. Add furniture, plants, or a pergola, and your new floating deck is ready for anything.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Just unbox, connect, and enjoy your new outdoor living space the same day. Whether you're creating an entertainment hub for summer BBQs or a peaceful retreat in your garden, our modular deck kits make it simple to build the patio you've always wanted. Save thousands compared to hiring a contractor and feel the pride of building it yourself.
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.
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.
All you need is a power drill. We even include the drill bit! No saws, no special tools, no trips to the hardware store.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
