In the same way that refinishing floors or laying new carpet can suddenly brighten up a home, installing a wooden deck, whether on a balcony or jutting out into the backyard can, literally, create an inviting platform for entertaining outdoors. But, if you're a renter, or a homeowner on a tight budget, having one installed can seem maddeningly out of reach...
Consider SnapDeck Deck Tiles from The Decking Outlet. With an interlocking loop and cylinder backing system, these tiles are, literally, a snap to put together and lay right over your existing flooring or over grass. And, when you move to a new home, or just want to change your layout, they remove just as quickly. And, to make them even more enticing, they're constructed of sustainable woods.

This is an interesting system. I have checked it out on several "makeover" shows. It will be great to take along for traveling in a motorhome (which I want to do when I quit working). They will provide a simple but clean space which will accomodate great outdoor furniture.
these look good, although they are consistently shown in spaces that exactly match the size of the tiles. I doubt it would look as complete if the area you were trying to cover was not divisible by the size of the tile and whatever you were trying to cover showed on the edges.
I bought some from Costco. I just used a chop saw to cut the tile edges for a proper fit. Easy and it is an amazing improvement from the concret mess I started with.
Has anyone used these on a surface that's not level? Our side yard slopes downward away from the house for drainage.... about 4" difference across 10 feet. We were thinking of using something like this to section off a patio area, but I'm not sure because of the slope.
I have a concrete mess on my back porch--cracking, not level--I wonder if I did some concrete patching whether these tiles would work? Or does it need to be completely level?
Anyone try the Ikea version of these?
Ok, this is totally off the subject but I have been searching hi and low for large scale white planters like the ones in the first picture. Might anyone know where I could find them?
Another question, kind of related to the poster about putting these on a sloped area- what about over cobblestone?
Are they reusable?
