i have a 6 person patio set that i want a deck for. so i decided i want to build a 16x16 floating deck in my backyard. the space is never used so it would be a great addon for us to play around with. its going over a grass section. so my current project is "flipping" the grass in the area over, compacting, then putting a weed tarp over it.
now its a spendy project for me so i want to make sure im buying the proper nails and items needed so i don't waste money or screw it up in the middle.
