This past weekend, I took on the challenge of building a 16’ x 20’ Ground Level Floating Deck using the Bison Level Up Adjustable Deck Pedestal System, and the results speak for themselves! 🚀 Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

Step 1: Site Preparation

• Mark your layout with stakes and string.
• Excavate 1–2 inches and apply a gravel base for compaction.
• Compact the soil using a plate compactor and add 2” of #57 stone before compacting again for a sturdy base.

Step 2: Placing the Adjustable Deck Pedestals

• Assemble the Bison Level Up Adjustable Deck Pedestals following the instructions.
• Place them 16” on-center, ensuring a level surface using a torpedo level and 6’ level.

Step 3: Installing the Deck Joists

• Use pressure-treated lumber for your joists (e.g., 2”x6”). Crown each board upward and center the joists on the pedestals.
• Secure the joists with folding straps and screws, using framing angles for the end joists.

Step 4: Installing Rim Joists & Skirting

• Attach rim joists to the ends of the deck joists with clamps and screws.
• Add skirting boards if needed for a polished finish.

Step 5: Decking Boards Installation

• Install composite decking boards with hidden fasteners for a clean, modern look.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

• Add fascia boards around the perimeter for a professional appearance.

I’m thrilled with how this project turned out! This system made it so much easier without digging concrete footers. Want to see more? Watch the full video and check out the links for tools and materials!
