From the video
Answers: How do you build a ground-level floating deck?
- floating deck construction
- deck framing
- joist installation
- cedar deck boards
- CAMO fastening system
What it concludes
- Ground-level floating decks under two feet off the ground often require no permits.
- Using 2x8 lumber for rim joists provides necessary strength and load transfer for a deck.
- Surface screws promote wood decay and rot around the screw head by holding standing water, whereas side-fastening systems prevent this.
- Using cedar decking from a specialized lumber yard offers better quality than big box stores.
- Leaving a small 1/16 to 1/8 inch gap when installing green or wet cedar boards accounts for future swelling.
