A free-standing patio requires several steps to construct. First, decide on the location and size of the patio. Next, gather materials such as wood, concrete blocks, and decking boards. To prepare the ground, clear the vegetation and level it. Construct the patio frame from lumber and anchor it to the ground with concrete blocks. Decking boards should be installed and secured on top of the frame. Finally, apply any finishing touches such as stain or sealant to protect the patio from the elements.
