Low floating is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy our yard. With minimal footing requirements, it makes it an ideal DIY project. But one of the concerns with floating decks is movement. The rising and falling of the deck with the seasons or worse the sinking of one corner of the deck. With one corner higher than the other, and the deck trembling with each step. But this does not have to be. With the right base, your floating deck will be solid and stable.
