Floating deck with gravel around

This 290 square foot floating deck was engineered for exceptional durability and longevity, adhering to stringent Ontario Building Code principles for unattached structures. A robust subframe, constructed with treated lumber, features securely fastened joist hangers and strategic flashing tape applied to all bearing surfaces, preventing moisture intrusion and ensuring structural integrity. Resting on a stable, compacted 3/4 inch clear stone gravel bed with proper weed barrier, the deck's foundation provides excellent drainage and pest deterrence, ensuring a low maintenance, code compliant outdoor living area built to last. The complete enclosure of the underside further deters wildlife, showcasing a commitment to comprehensive, long term performance.
