Build an amazing deck under a garden pavilion. This video answers: How to build a floating deck. This low-profile floating deck is stand alone and hovers only a few inches above the grass in our garden. This stained deck is build under a timber frame style pavilion. This full length video details the entire construction of this floating deck from design through to straightening crooked boards, sanding, and staining. The deck is supported with 4x4 pressure treated joists that have poured concrete footings. Over the joists are rough sawn fir deck boards with a rustic chamfer and milling imperfections.
