The extendable deck device comprises a plurality of squares, with each square comprising a frame and a plurality of support beams secured thereto, and a floor component positioned on top of the plurality of squares to substantially cover the plurality of squares. The extendable deck device further comprises at least one rail component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component, which protrudes vertically upwards from the floor component. The rail components can be extended or retracted either manually or via an electric motor and reel. Further, the deck device can comprise at least one set of stairs secured underneath a corner of the floor component. The stairs can be secured to the corner, such that a user manually extends out the stairs from underneath the floor component for use. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An extendable deck device comprising: a plurality of squares, each square comprising a frame and a plurality of support beams secured thereto; wherein the frame comprises a first set of opposing ends and a second set of opposing ends, and the plurality of support beams span a width of the frame and are secured to either the first set or the second set of opposing ends; and a floor component positioned on top of the plurality of squares; wherein the floor component substantially covers the plurality of squares. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The extendable deck device of claim 1, further comprising at least one rail component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The extendable deck device of claim 2, wherein the at least one rail component is connected to an electric motor and reel which extends and retracts the at least one rail component. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The extendable deck device of claim 1, further comprising at least one bench component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The extendable deck device of claim 4, wherein the at least one bench component is secured via a hinge which allows the at least one bench component to pivot. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The extendable deck device of claim 5, wherein the at least one bench component comprises a cushion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The extendable deck device of claim 1, further comprising at least one table component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The extendable deck device of claim 1, further comprising at least one set of stairs secured to a corner of and underneath the floor component. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The extendable deck device of claim 8, wherein the at least one set of stairs is secured via a hinge, such that a user can manually extend out the at least one set of stairs from underneath the floor component for use. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The extendable deck device of claim 1, wherein the floor component is comprised of wood. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The extendable deck device of claim 1, wherein the frame is comprised of metal. ### Claim 12 An extendable deck device comprising: a plurality of squares, each square comprising a frame and a plurality of support beams secured thereto; wherein the frame comprises a first set of opposing ends and a second set of opposing ends, and the plurality of support beams span a width of the frame and are secured to either the first set or the second set of opposing ends; and a floor component positioned on top of the plurality of squares; wherein the floor component substantially covers the plurality of squares; and at least one rail component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component; wherein the at least one rail component is connected to an electric motor and reel which extends and retracts the at least one rail component. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The extendable deck device of claim 12, further comprising at least one set of stairs secured to a corner of and underneath the floor component. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The extendable deck device of claim 13, wherein the at least one set of stairs is secured via a hinge, such that a user can manually extend out the at least one set of stairs from underneath the floor component for use. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The extendable deck device of claim 12, further comprising at least one bench component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The extendable deck device of claim 15, wherein the at least one bench component is secured via a hinge which allows the at least one bench component to pivot. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The extendable deck device of claim 16, wherein the at least one bench component comprises a cushion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The extendable deck device of claim 12, further comprising at least one table component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component. ### Claim 19 An extendable deck device comprising: a plurality of squares, each square comprising a frame and a plurality of support beams secured thereto; wherein the frame comprises a first set of opposing ends and a second set of opposing ends, and the plurality of support beams span a width of the frame and are secured to either the first set or the second set of opposing ends; and a floor component positioned on top of the plurality of squares; wherein the floor component substantially covers the plurality of squares; and at least one rail component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component; wherein the at least one rail component is connected to an electric motor and reel which extends and retracts the at least one rail component; and at least one bench component secured to a perimeter edge of the floor component; wherein the at least one bench component is secured via a hinge which allows the at least one bench component to pivot. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The extendable deck device of claim 19, further comprising at least one set of stairs secured to a corner of and underneath the floor component.
