Can I use this Floating Foundation Deck System to build a deck on my roof?

Answer:

No. A roof is typically designed only for the weight of the materials on it, snow loads and the weight of people for repair, etc. Adding a deck and a greater number of planned people can be a significant change in structural loads than what a roof is built to accommodate safely. This type of application absolutely needs to be reviewed by an engineer BEFORE PROCEEDING.
