Just moved into a new apartment and the deck is a decent size but the wood is atrocious. The office told me to fuck off about permanent repairs but don't care about anything that can be easily removed and doesn't damage the structure.

I'm new to outdoor /diy/ but is there any reason why this wouldn't work? I was thinking of basically screwing together a pallet out of decent wood and setting it on top, and laying a square of fake grass on top of those big kitchen rubber mats to keep my precious toes away from the splinters and rusty nails and help the wood underneath not stay wet and slimy.

>wanna do it right
no you dont, otherwise, you'd be replacing that. As you cant, and screwing into existing prob. frowned upon as well, I'd maybe consider that IKEA/hardware store click terrace/decking crap. Quality is not especially stunning, but, easy to install, easy to remove, reusable, relatively cheap and no harm done. Otherwise, you just be building a deck on top of a deck,

I'd just sand it down and stain it, not even tell them I did it.

Just put down a good quality astroturf.

You can hose it off and throw it away when you move.
