Looking to upgrade your back yard? Well we've got 6 simple deck designs, but built in beautifully landscaped yards. These decks aren't just about functionality; they're about creating a vibe, a mood. Imagine stepping out to a space that blends seamlessly with the outdoors, where the boundaries between inside and outside blur. A place for morning coffees or to have dinner outdoors. These decks all use simple landscaping materials such as pavers, stone & rock to incorporate your deck into your yard by building pathways and garden beds around the deck itself. When using TuffBlock deck blocks, you can build the deck portion in a matter of hours when the deck itself is a simple rectangle. But when blended into the yard with some simple landscaping tricks, it elevates it to a whole new level. Hopefully these inspire you and get you thinking about how you could transform your own yard! This first deck shows how you can build out from your home to create a patio deck, and extend the living space in your house. This type of deck is perfect for an outdoor living area. Think about using stones around the deck to frame it. The symetrical plants at either corner of the deck along with the L shaped couch make this a perfect place to sit and enjoy the outdoors that leads perfect out to your garden. This type of deck is also perfect in winter where the stone and paved pathway allow you to stay out of the mud whilst still using the space. This deck is similar, but is floating in the yard as a stand alone platform. A floating deck platform is a great place to have dinner during warm summer nights. Adding pavers to your lawn is a great way to connect the deck to the house, and the gravel/stone around the deck is great for hiding the deck blocks under the deck. This deck is built into the garden bed at the end of the yard. The pathway connects is seamlessly to the house, and allows you to sit in your yard whilst enjoying the nature around you. A two toned deck is always a nice touch. A floating ground deck is perfect for a bbq and inviting friends over for a feast! Building on a slope yard? Well TuffBlock allows you to build using posts at various heights for a deck like this. Consider creating a bench as part of your floating deck for an extra place to sit. You can also build a firepit next to your deck to warm you up in the evenings! We hope these six stunning examples of floating decks have sparked your creativity and inspired you to embark on your own backyard transformation. Each deck, with its unique blend of simplicity and style, demonstrates how when using deck blocks, like TuffBlock, a single day's effort building a floating deck can result in a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary. Whether it's a cozy corner for your morning coffee or a spacious platform for social gatherings, the possibilities are endless. Now it's your turn to bring these ideas to life! Grab your tools, choose your design, and start building. Remember, the beauty of these decks lies not just in their construction, but in how they harmoniously integrate with the natural landscape of your yard. We can't wait to see the incredible spaces you create, transforming your outdoor areas into personal havens of relaxation and joy. Happy building!

From patio tables to DIY chairs, there are plenty of DIY outdoor furniture ideas to choose from that will give your outdoor space a makeover.
Materials and Tools: (for one chair) 12 - 2 x 4 at 24" (see the table for detailed cut list) 4 - 2 x 4 at 26" 2 - 2 x 4 at 23" 2 - 2 x 2 at 20" Drill and drill bits Power saw/ Hand saw (or get the lumber cut according to the measurements from the store) Electric sander Sand paper 120 grit Wood screws, 3" Wood glue Wooden dowels, 1.5" Paint (I used BEHR premium paint and primer in one-ultra pure white-satin finish) Paint brushes/foam brushes Tape measure Pencil This project is inspired from Ana White's post on outdoor chairs. I have made a few changes in the measurements and style such as I used only 2 x 4 lumber and reduced the number of side slats so that the chair is not too heavy to lift. Also, modified the style of legs to match the end table I made recently. This is a very simple project and needs only 2 x 4 lumber. The chair is designed to fit 24" x 23" cushions. Make the corresponding changes in the plan to fit the cushions with any other dimensions. What is a 2 x 4 wood? Understanding wood sizes: When you plan a wood project, it is crucial to have a basic understanding about the type, grade, and size of lumber you are going to use. In the lumber isle of a hardware store you will see various studs and boards with nominal dimensions such as 2 x 2 (pronounced as 'two by two'), 2 x 4 ( pronounced as 'two by four'), 4 x 4 (four by four), 2 x 6 (two by six) with different lengths. In a 2 x 4 board, the two numbers are actually the dimensions of the cross section of the board in inches, ie width and depth. This is the dimension when the board is sawn from the tree. But, as the wood dries it will shrink and hence the width and depth are going to change. So, when you purchase a 2 x 4 board from the store, the actual dimension of the board is not 2" x 4" but it is close to 1.5" and 3.5 ". Keep this in mind when you design any woodworking projects with various size lumber and plan accordingly. For further reading click here Tutorial: to make one chair Step 1: Cutting lumber The measurements that are required to make one chair are given in the table below. Get the lumber cut according to the measurements. Cut list to make one chair Lumber size # of Pieces Length (Inches) Purpose 2 x 4 4 24 Legs 2 x 4 2 26 Bottom piece 2 x 4 2 26 Arm rests 2 x 4 2 23 Side slats 2 x 4 3 24 Back-2 & front-1 slats 2 x 4 4 or 5 24 Seat slats 2 x 2 2 20 Inside cleats For making two chairs, I bought: 7- 8 feet long 2 x 4 lumber, 2-10 feet 2 x 4 lumber, & 1- 8 feet 2 x 2 lumber All the lumber were bought and cut from Home Depot. FYI, if you buy lumber from Home Depot, you can get it cut from the store for free. A few more things to remember: Once you cut the lumber, be sure to sand all the pieces to get a smooth surface. Make sure to predrill holes for the screws Apply wood glue on all joints before screwing the pieces together All the measurements are given in inches and the length of the pieces is given in parenthesis, for eg: legs (24") Step 2: Attaching legs to the bottom piece Position the two legs (24") at the ends of the bottom piece (26") and predrill holes for the screws. Two holes are made at each joints. Apply glue on the joints and then screw the pieces together. Step 3: Attaching the side slat and armrest Place the side slat (23") at 12" from the bottom piece and mark its position. Predrill screw holes, glue at the joints and screw. Attach the arm rest (26") to the free ends of the legs to finish off one side frame of the chair. Be sure to predrill screw holes and glue the joints. Assemble the next side frame by following steps 2 and 3. Step 4: Attaching front, back slats, and inside cleat Get the two side frames that are assembled in step 3. Place them upright and screw front (24") and back middle slats (24"). Also attach the inside cleats (20") towards the lower inside of the two side slats. Next is to attach the one of the back slats on the top backside of the chair. If you have pocket hole Kreg jig, you can connect it very easily. As I do not have one, I used wooden dowels. Make two dowel holes at each ends of the back top slat and two on the top inside of the chair (dowel positions are marked in the following picture). Insert four dowels into the pre-glued dowel holes of the back slat and slightly hammer the dowels so that only half of each dowel should go into the holes. Then, position the dowels into the pre-glued holes on the top inside of the chair and fix it. You may use a strap to keep the assembly tight until the glue gets dry. The back slat on the top is attached to the chair using 4 wooden dowels. The dowel positions are marked white. Step 5: Attaching seat slats Four or five seat slats (24") can be used. Screw them equidistant onto the inside cleat. That's it!! The chair is almost done. Step 6: Painting To finish off the patio chairs, use an exterior paint. Apply two coats of paint (I used BEHR premium paint and primer in one-ultra pure white-satin finish) and allow it to dry. Add some contrasting cushions and throw pillows.
