In this video, Austin shows you his step by step journey in building a patio deck on the back of his house using TuffBlock deck foundation blocks. Austin is a handy DIYer and this is his first ever deck build - and we're really impressed with his work.

He'd considered using concrete blocks, but TuffBlocks enabled him to design an ultra low deck of only 160mm, which can't be achieved using the concrete blocks (without digging each block into the ground).

He found it very difficult to grow grass in his back yard due to shade from the house and a tree, and therefore decided he wanted a low profile deck to use to host BBQs in the summer with friends, and even put a projector on warm summer nights to watch movies with the family.

Austin wanted to avoid digging into the ground due to surrounding services underneath his home (electrical wires, pipes etc), and therefore a floating deck was a perfect choice due to requiring no digging. A floating deck is one that's not attached to a fixed structure and 'floats' on the surface, shifting with the ground in freeze and thaw cycles. It was a building technique designed in North America in areas that suffer from freeze and thaw, and worked perfect for his Chicago home.
