What Is a Floating Deck? Despite its name, a floating deck (AKA a ground-level or a freestanding deck) isn’t found on water. It’s actually a low-deck platform that can be placed anywhere in the yard.

People who live on the water spout the benefits: Bird-watching out the backdoor while sipping morning coffee. Daylong restful river views, then ending the evening with a stress-reducing kayak ride.
