How To Build a DIY Hanging Daybed Swing on a Floating Deck - EPIC BACKYARD CHILL SPOT!

What happens here

Carefully place the large gray outdoor mattress onto the suspended daybed frame. Next, install the pre-built backrest and armrest components. These are constructed from composite decking, ripped down to 3 inches from 2x4s and covered with decking boards, leaving a 1/4 inch reveal. Secure these components around the mattress. Adjust the daybed's leveling if necessary, as adding these elements can shift weight distribution. Finally, add decorative pillows for enhanced comfort and aesthetic appeal.

Goal: Complete the daybed with comfortable seating and functional back/armrests.
