Enhance Your Seattle Outdoor Space with a Floating Deck

Floating and detached decks provide an exceptional way to expand your outdoor living space, blending functionality and beauty in a seamless, versatile design. At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we specialize in custom floating and detached decks designed for Seattle’s unique landscape and climate. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy retreat or a functional entertaining space, our expertise and attention to detail ensure your deck is crafted with quality and built to last.

Top Reasons Seattle Homeowners Choose Floating Decks

Floating and detached decks offer unmatched flexibility and durability, making them perfect for Seattle homeowners:

  • Flexible Placement: Floating decks can be installed almost anywhere, which is ideal for uneven or sloped Seattle properties. From backyards in Queen Anne to side yards in Ballard, a detached deck can create usable space where an attached deck might not be feasible.
  • Durable Foundations: Floating decks are built on stable foundations using deck blocks, pavers, or gravel, minimizing soil disruption and performing well in Seattle’s rainy conditions.
  • Cost-Effective and Quick: Floating decks do not require complex footings or attachments to your home, making them a budget-friendly, faster option for expanding outdoor space.


Choose Evergreen Deck & Fence for quality materials and a Seattle-focused deck-building approach tailored to your landscape and climate.

Plan Your Floating Deck with Seattle Experts

Creating a custom floating deck with Evergreen Deck & Fence starts with detailed planning and a design consultation:

  • Site-Specific Assessment: We evaluate your property for slope, soil stability, and drainage, considering Seattle’s frequent rainfall and seasonal shifts.
  • Choosing Materials for Seattle’s Climate: We offer materials suited to the local environment:
    • Composite Decking: Durable and low-maintenance, composite resists Seattle’s wet climate and requires minimal upkeep.
    • Pressure-Treated Wood: Affordable and resilient with periodic sealing, ideal for budget-conscious projects.
    • Redwood and Cedar: Naturally rot-resistant and beautiful, suited for homeowners seeking a classic look with moderate maintenance.
  • Permits and Compliance: While many floating decks under a specific height don’t need permits, we’ll handle any necessary documentation to ensure compliance with Seattle’s local building codes.


At Evergreen Deck & Fence, each deck is planned to meet Seattle’s specific needs while reflecting your unique style.

Choosing the Right Foundation for Seattle Floating Decks

A floating deck’s stability depends on a well-constructed foundation and support system:

  • Foundation Options for Seattle’s Soil: We use deck blocks, concrete pavers, or gravel bases to ensure stability without deep ground excavation. These methods are ideal for Seattle’s wet environment, offering solid support with minimal ground disruption.
  • Framing with Precision: Our team installs joists and cross-bracing using treated wood or moisture-resistant materials to prevent deck shifting or warping.
  • Weather-Resistant Fastening: We use galvanized screws and weatherproof fasteners to protect against Seattle’s rainy climate, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Customizing Your Seattle Floating Deck

Once the foundation is set, we move on to decking and customization:

  • Deck Board Installation: Proper spacing between boards allows for drainage, which is essential in Seattle to prevent mold and warping. Our team secures each board with hidden fasteners, creating a seamless look that enhances durability.
  • Customization Options: Choose from several enhancements to personalize your floating deck:
    • Integrated Benches and Planters: Perfect for smaller spaces or side yards, adding function and style.
    • Pergolas and Shade Structures are great for Seattle’s sunny summer days, providing a comfortable space to enjoy the outdoors.
    • Lattice or Skirting is ideal for concealing the area below the deck, offering extra storage and a polished appearance.

Seattle-Inspired Floating Deck Ideas

Seattle’s natural beauty and unique climate offer endless inspiration for deck design. Here are some ideas that complement the Pacific Northwest aesthetic:

  • Modern Minimalist Decks: Simple, clean designs that use composite materials for low-maintenance beauty.
  • Pacific Northwest-Inspired Spaces: For a warm, organic look, incorporate natural finishes, native plants, and a cozy layout.
  • Multi-Functional Outdoor Living: Add an outdoor dining area, built-in seating, or a fire pit for a versatile entertainment space.


Each deck we build at Evergreen Deck & Fence reflects Seattle’s landscape and lifestyle, blending function with visual appeal.

How to Maintain a Floating Deck in Seattle’s Weather

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your floating deck looking and performing its best in Seattle’s weather:

  • Routine Cleaning: Sweep debris off the deck, especially in the fall, to avoid mold buildup during Seattle’s rainy months.
  • Weatherproofing: Reply with a protective sealant every 2-3 years for wood decks. Composite decks may only require occasional cleaning to maintain their appearance.
  • Annual Inspections: Check for loose boards or shifting, especially after heavy rain. Our Evergreen Deck & Fence team offers maintenance services to keep your deck safe and stable year-round.
