Floating Decks

At Deck Builders Taupo, we make floating decks that help people enjoy their outdoor space. Unlike traditional decks, floating decks are not attached to a house or building, which makes them easier to install and often requires fewer permits. Our team uses quality decking boards, timber, and other decking material to build a cost effective structure for your house. By placing the deck on concrete blocks, support blocks, pavers, gravel, or sand, we create a foundation that is strong, safe, and easy to maintain. Floating decks rest at ground level, making them ideal for many outdoor spaces.

At Deck Builders Taupo, we also give support when constructing your own floating deck. Our team knows how to use the right tools, screws, and joists to make the installation solid and complete. We can plan your project with local council needs in mind, making sure the perimeter and framing are safe. A floating deck can be used as a space for a table, plants, or even near fences and a poolside. With good maintenance, you can enjoy your deck for many years without worry about rot or mistakes.

How Our Process Ensures Strong Foundations For Floating Decks In Taupo

At Deck Builders Taupo, we make sure floating decks start with a strong foundation. By using footings, concrete blocks, and layers of gravel or sand, our professional team creates a solid base that makes every deck safe and long lasting. We take into account the correct location and height of each support to ensure the deck is level and stable. Carefully laying out the foundation blocks and adjusting their height provides proper support for the structure. Constructing a strong frame is a crucial part of the foundation process. Proper placement of supports also helps prevent movement over time, ensuring your deck remains secure and durable.
