How to Build a Floating Foundation Deck System.

		Step 1: Place the Dek-Block® Piers on the ground Place the Dek-Block® piers directly on the soil. The slots will be used to hold either horizontal 2"x6" deck support boards or vertical 4"x4" posts. Using 4"x4" posts of different lengths will level out uneven or sloping ground.

		Step 2: Position the Support Boards Position support boards in or above the two outside rows of the Dek-Block® piers. Next, attach 2"x6" end boards to the outside support boards. Then position the remaining Dek-Block® piers. Lastly, attach the remaining support boards to the end boards.

		Step 3: Secure the Surface Boards Place all the 2"x6" surface boards on top of the support boards. Then secure the surface boards directly to the support boards using two deck screws per support board.
