This is how I build my floating deck which is one of many backyard "projects" I completed during the Stage 4 Lock Down in Melbourne 2020.
You probably can not believe that we actually build another smaller one only a couple of weeks later.

Declamation: I am not a professional carpenter. The way I built my own floating decks is not textbook instructional material for you to follow. I built it as a DIY project which I enjoyed the process and the outcome is within my expectation.
Please read the comments and share your thoughts.

I just finished painting both floating decks. You can check it out via the link below:

good effort but i don't think the yellow tongue will stand the weather

@ConfusedNDazed 3 года назад

Was wondering roughly how much it cost you to build this ? Also does it just sit on the pavers? No digging holes at all ?

@huangjianbin 3 года назад

As sewage piping underground, we have limitation here to build a decking in a normal way (digging holes for posts) which I actually preferred. We finally decided to go ahead with this floating deck. It's much easier to build and as solid as I hoped. I'll check my records for you to see how much we spent on it.

@@huangjianbin thanks for the quick reply. I am thinking of building something like for the kids to skateboard on. We have a bush block with no concrete drive, just gravel and is impossible for them to Skate on. Was wondering if I can do it for sub $500. Also would like to be able to pull it apart and move it if I wanted to, hence no holes.

@@ConfusedNDazed All prices are in AUD. $230 for 8 off Yellow Tongue 1800 x 800 x 19 mm, $240 for 10 off Pine Structure Treated 90 x 45 x 4200 mm, $80 for 21 off Paver 300 x 300 x 40 mm, plus $100 for some other consumables such as nails. The finished size is 3600 x 4800 mm.

@@huangjianbin everything just from Bunnings ? That is pretty good pricing for such a large decking. I think I might give this a go, helps to have you video as a guide.Thanks a lot for checking your receipts and getting back to me.

@@ConfusedNDazed Yep, everything from Bunnings. If I can do it, so can you.

If severe weather or tornado comes through this deck would go airborne..I would have anchored at least the four corners..

@sneat2028 3 года назад

This is a bad way to build a deck, you should never use tongue and groove.

@shaunhealey1 3 года назад

When will you finish the job? Typically, you would use planks or decking boards, not what looks like huge sheets of MDF! Looks half done

@huangjianbin 3 года назад

Yes, it is half done, but already in use with some rubber mats on top.

As a qualified joiner, don't follow this! I hand cut quicker than he does with a rip saw🙄 mdf will be fkd so don't put that on the frame! Plus no membrane or dpc applied to the joists. So they'll rot straight away! And a actual floating deck is just amateurish!

@@delboy6364 I agree with you on pretty much everything you said. As I declared in the video, I am not a professional carpenter. So the way I did is not textbook instruction for those who are looking for a standard method of building a deck. We have been using this not-professional-made floating deck for more than one year by now. All are happy memory. I didn't expect it could last for decades, I have done my best to balance the cost and the safety integrity at that time. I admit there are many places I could have done in a better way. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts.

Not MDF, chipboard. It well get wet, swell and fall apart.

Doea water sit

@huangjianbin 3 года назад

Most of the rainwater will drain away as the flooring was built with a slight slope. The original design is to build a glass sunroom on it probably next year.

@rowey1992 3 года назад

Yes, we can see you are not a professional carpenter. That is quite obvious. Sorry my friend, this is really a video on "how not to build a deck". Yellow tongue will not last long outdoors, just one of many errors.
