Our Story

Founder, Sean Bergman, on the creation of blokDEK®

Many years ago, my wife and I were repairing the foundation on the house we just bought. We had to demolish a pretty large deck that was in perfectly good shape when we did the repair, and I had to replace it with another one. I wanted to make sure that it was something that would last a long time, and I also wanted to make sure it was built in modules, so if we ever needed to take it apart again, I wouldn't have to send it to the landfill. I did a ton of research on how this could be done, and eventually figured out that I wanted an aluminum framing for the deck.

Aluminum framing was perfectly flat, so it was gonna look great. It's strong, it was never gonna rot or get eaten by bugs, and didn't have chemicals like pressure treated lumber. Also, unlike steel, aluminum doesn't rust either, which is a big bonus. The biggest problem was that building aluminum deck was not easily done, and there was no product like that on the market.

As a design engineer, I'd become really obsessed with this problem. I spent so many nights designing and redesigning a system that snaps together. It doesn't need tools. It's simple, very high quality and modular. So the aluminum deck I built for my family inadvertently turned out to be the first prototype, which would eventually become blokDEK®.

Not long after I built the deck, I had to take it apart to run a gas line, then again for some siding repairs as well. And it turned out to be very useful to have a modular deck system in the backyard that you could take apart any time you wanted. It was at that moment that I realized this was not just a cool concept, but a very useful invention.

Now, useful inventions are great, but there was a real challenge to make this a viable business. It had to be priced about the same as a wood frame deck. After more testing and obsessing and building a lot of prototypes, I founded block deck, we were finally selling aluminum deck systems that outperformed traditional wood decks in a lot of ways, better, life span, lighter weight. It stayed flat. It's fire resistant. But we also found a lot of customers were buying the product based on how it looked. This sleek simplicity was really striking a chord with people who wanted something a bit better or nicer looking than the average deck, especially the powder coated frame.

Last year, we launched blokDEK® across North America, and we're hearing from customers that they've been waiting for something just like this, a beautiful, well made deck shipped to them right when they need it. We're proud of what we've developed, and we're excited to see what's next with blokDEK®.

A Better Decking System by Design

At blokDEK®, we’re not just building decks—we’re rethinking them from the ground up. As engineers and designers, we’ve spent years questioning traditional deck-building methods. Conventional decking has remained largely unchanged for decades. We knew there had to be a better way.

So, we built it.

blokDEK® introduces a completely new way to build decks—through modular design. Instead of dealing with bulky materials, tedious measurements, and labor-intensive construction, we’ve engineered a system that assembles in pre-configured modules. Think of it like building blocks—each "blok" is a structurally independent, precision-engineered unit that locks together effortlessly. No digging. No cutting. No drilling. No contractors.

The result? A streamlined, high-performance deck that’s easy to install, expand, or reconfigure as your needs change.

We believe great design should simplify life, and that’s exactly what blokDEK® does. Whether you’re setting up a cozy retreat or an expansive entertainment space, our modular system adapts to you—today and in the future.

What Our Customers Say

Purchased a 12x12 composite deck. Couldn't be happier. We needed a portable deck for area in front yard and needed access to the space underneath. Went together smoothly. Haven't sat on the deck as my kids have claimed it for a dance floor. From Sunny California! Thanks!

This deck exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The packaging was professional and well-organized, making the unboxing process effortless. Assembly was straightforward, beginning with the sturdy yet lightweight frame construction. After ensuring the frame was level, installing the deck boards was a seamless process. The entire project, from initial unpacking to final assembly, took just three hours to complete.I'm thoroughly impressed with both the quality of construction and the finished appearance. The deck's robust build and aesthetic appeal make it an excellent value. Based on my experience, I confidently recommend this product to anyone seeking a high-quality deck solution.

I am so happy I discovered this amazing company! As far as I know, I believe it is the only Canadian company that does pre-built platform decks. The quality is fantastic and I just loooove my new deck!I chose an 8x8 deck, so it came as two aluminium frames and 4 sets of deck boards. I did it all by myself and beside being fairly heavy (it is an aluminium frame with real cedar decking), it was really easy. My backyard has a slope and I was able to use the levelling feet to make it levelled. Great quality, awesome customer service, I think I will be adding more sections to my new deck next year to make it even bigger!!!Thanks to Sean Bergman and his team, they were able to quickly answer my questions.

This is one of the best companies I have dealt with. I wanted an "L" shaped deck, and after ordering, I received a shop drawing to approve. The deck arrived as promised on 2 skids, well packed. The the instructions were clear, and I also recieved a drawing showing the layout of each part. It was a breeze to set out, but you have to take care to level the frame properly, as this is critical. The deck panels the just lay into place, and clip down as you stand on them. The deck looks fantastic. I would recommend BlokDek® to anyone, no hesitation.

Aluminum deck with composite decking in Coastal colour in a customers backyard

We wanted a deck but we did not want the expense or wait of having to find someone to build it. I was so excited to come across blokdek, it is exactly what we were looking for. The deck arrived in perfect condition on a pallet that fit in our garage until we were ready to assemble. My husband assembled it in one afternoon! We absolutely love it and have already recommended blokDEK to others. The team at blokDEK is great too, excellent customer service! Thank you Tannis for following up and making sure everything was good 👍😊

Aluminum deck with composite decking installed in the Coastal colour

We are absolutely thrilled with our new blokDEK (12' x 20' Coastal Composite) deck. From our first conversation through to installation, the entire experience exceeded our expectations—the team was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and never pushy.The product quality is excellent and the installation was surprisingly straightforward. We built it ourselves and were very pleased with how smoothly everything went together. The finished deck looks beautiful, and concerns about heat and slipperiness haven’t been an issue at all—the surface stays comfortable underfoot on hot days and offers great traction even in wet weather.Most importantly, it has become a space we use and enjoy every day. It’s great when a product lives up to its promises, and even better when it’s from a Canadian company. We highly recommend blokDEK.

Aluminum deck with composite decking in Coastal colour installed on a seasonal RV lot

​I honestly cannot say enough good things about blokDEK. Every step of the process exceeded my expectations.​The Sample Process & Ordering:Ordering samples was quick and easy. Unlike other companies that send a useless 2"x2" scrap, BlokDek sends decent-sized samples so you actually know what you’re getting. Because we had strict size limits at our campground, we ordered the exact dimensions we needed. The deck was on backorder (which wasn't an issue for me), but before it even shipped, Tannis reached out personally to confirm all of our information.​Going the Extra Mile on Shipping:The business day before delivery, I hadn't heard from the freight company. I reached out to Tannis, who was amazing—they immediately tracked down a direct phone number for me so I could confirm the delivery window.​The 2-Hour Setup (Seriously!):From the exact moment the delivery driver called to say he was 10 minutes away, to the moment I signed back into work, exactly 2 hours had passed. In that tight window, we:​Accepted the delivery (the pallet was packaged perfectly).​Unpacked everything.​Dug down the ground at one end to level it (we had to start under our camper stairs and dig down at the other end, which was opposite of the video's advice to start at the high point, but it still worked flawlessly).​Put the entire deck together and took a shower!​Quick tip: Definitely watch the instruction video beforehand and keep it handy during assembly.​The Verdict:Even our campground owner was incredibly impressed with both the quality and how quickly it all went together! The deck is super sturdy and we absolutely love it. One of my biggest worries was how it would handle the heat, as our site faces west with almost no shade. I am thrilled to report that while the deck gets warm, it never gets hot enough to burn the bottoms of your feet.​If you are on the fence about ordering a BlokDek, just do it. You won't regret it!Deck size is 10×12 feet.

Aluminum deck with composite decking installed in a customers backyard for a patio

The folks at blokDEK are very responsive and helpful. Every question answered promptly and great instructive videos provided. Only 8 days from my order to delivery in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

I bought my deck to place alongside my camper at my permanent site. Tannis and Craig provided outstanding customer service by answering all of my questions and helped coordinate the shipping and delivery of my deck to the campground. The deck was very easy to assemble. The frames are high quality anodized aluminum and the decking snaps onto the frames. Simply walking on the decking will attach it to the frames. Once everything was opened and unpacked, the time to assemble the deck was less than an hour.

blokDEK was fantastic to deal with. They were very responsive to questions, I was able to check out the factory in Edmonton and I could tell how much pride they take in their product. The post sales support was really great when I had questions, and the product was as easy to assemble as they said. This was exactly what we wanted for our sauna project.

Great deck for a travel trailer at a camp site. It was easy to put together, but you'll likely need some "footing". We used basic 4x8 pavers as the "foundation" for the feet. This resulted in a very solid feeling platform, and held up well over the winter freeze without any shifting or settling. Leveling the area to the height range of the "feet" was the biggest part of the job.

Blokdek (Tannis and her team) helped me obtain all the necessary materials for my project. They confirmed every measurement and made some suggestions to ensure everything turned out well, and the communication was excellent. They handled the delivery very professionally. I will post pictures when I finish assembling my deck. Thank you.

This definitely was the fastest and best choice for the look we were looking for. I asked if I could get it before Thanksgiving, yes, we did. The process took longer to prepare the ground than putting the deck together. I had to lower the deck to match the concrete patio.

Cedar blokDEK surrounding a pool in California

With a recent pool remodel, we were looking to redo our landscape. The goals: remove grass, save water, and have space that was dog "mess"-free with our 3 dogs. The frustrations of getting multiple quotes for a deck was getting to me and I couldn't get past the labor $$$$ costs. I started researching DIY options and thankfully found blokDEK. Sean was a tremendous help in dialing in exactly how to order based on a simple sketch I provided. Tannis was also a pleasure to work with. Wonderful business, people, and product! I've already got ideas for another area to incorporate another deck.

When I first learned about blokDek I thought it was an interesting idea, so I thought about it, mostly because I had gone through surgery for spinal stenosis 4 months before, and this system looked easier to assemble than building a traditional deck, which I had done many times before as I am 76 years old and built my own house when I was 27 years old. I built many things in the intervening years, including decks, so in my present condition this deck system made sense to me. I also found that dealing with Sean & Tannis was satisfying on a personal level as they treated me with great respect and answered my questions and concerns quickly and made me feel comfortable.

Tannis was incredibly helpful in guiding me to select the perfect deck for my needs. He maintained excellent communication throughout the process, ensuring that the delivery was smooth and hassle-free. The deck arrived on multiple pallets, and it only took my husband, son, and son-in-law a few hours to assemble. When we encountered a few issues, we contacted the company, and a representative promptly returned our call, walking my husband through each step of the installation with patience and clarity. We've received numerous compliments on our new deck and couldn't be happier with both the product and our experience with blokDEK.

From the initial email asking for information to the delivery, everything was perfect. Excellent communcation the entire time. They offered to customize for my specific needs, which was so great! I was very impressed with the service. and the DECK! Very well made and we literally had our 5 x 12 together in an hour (note, spent the day before leveling pavers first - highly recommend). Highly recommend and have already given the info to 2 neighbors!

I purchased a 6'x8' deck to create a grilling are next to our full patio. The patio was delivered about 10 days after purchasequicker than expected, since it was shipped from Canada to the US.It came on a good sized pallet with zero issues creating during package and delivery.The construction was rock solid and the materials seem really high quality. I had a slightly more complicated install since I had to dig out and level an area. Once that was done, putting the deck together and installing it was a breeze. Assembly was slightly different than the video, but it was really easy to figure out how to bolt the two sections together.I have zero regrets with my purchase. In fact, we're considering installing another deck and gazebo on a different part of our property.

I am so pleased with the quality and look of my deck. My hubs and I got an 8' x 20' deck and we had it up and leveled in 2 hours. And I am still married! The ordering and shipping experience was flawless. I was kept updated on the delivery, and the company checked in several times to make sure we didn't have any questions. Would 100% order from this company again and definitely recommend.
