Why a Ground-Level Deck is a Smart Choice – and How blokDEK® Makes It Even Easier

ground-level deck is one of the best ways to create a functional, stylish outdoor living space without the complexity of an elevated deck. Whether you want a freestanding deck in your backyard, a stable RV deck for your seasonal campsite, or a low-maintenance patio alternative, a ground-level deck provides affordability, safety, and design flexibility.

But traditional deck building can be time-consuming, expensive, and require specialized tools or contractors. That’s where blokDEK®’s modular decking system changes the game—allowing you to build a durable, stylish ground-level deck faster, easier, and with no tools required.

Why Choose a Ground-Level Deck?

1. Faster, Easier Installation with blokDEK®’s Modular Decking

Traditional deck construction involves digging footings, cutting lumber, and hiring contractors—a time-consuming and expensive process. With blokDEK®’s modular decking system, you can eliminate the hassle. Here’s how blokDEK® makes it easier:
No building tools required – Everything snaps together effortlessly
No need for contractors – DIY-friendly for quick assembly
Pre-engineered aluminum deck framing – Strong, lightweight, and long-lasting
Fast setup – Build your ground-level deck in hours, not days

Whether you're creating an RV deck for seasonal stays or a freestanding backyard deck, blokDEK®’s modular design ensures a seamless, efficient setup.

2. Lower Cost & No Heavy Construction

A ground-level deck is naturally more affordable than an elevated deck, requiring fewer materials and less structural support. With blokDEK®’s tool-free system, you save even more:

  • No need to buy expensive tools or hardware
  • No hiring professional builders or contractors
  • Minimal prep work required – No need for concrete footings or heavy foundations

This means you get a high-quality, durable deck at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional build.

3. Safer, More Accessible Outdoor Space

A ground-level deck is not only easier to install, but it’s also safer for families, seniors, and seasonal RVers who need a stable surface without steep stairs. blokDEK® decks sit close to the ground, eliminating the need for railings while still providing a sturdy, slip-resistant surface for added safety.

4. Freestanding & Versatile for Any Space

Unlike attached decks, blokDEK®’s modular system allows you to place your ground-level deck anywhere. Whether you need:
✔ A freestanding deck in the backyard for entertaining
✔ A modular RV deck for your campsite
✔ A patio alternative for a rental property

blokDEK®’s customizable layouts let you design your perfect outdoor space without permanent installation.
