Um, how about just leveling out the ground and putting down some concrete patio slabs somewhere outside the back door? Nine of them at 5.50 a pop gives you a 12 x 12 foot fireproof, non-skid, no-maintenance, all-weather, weed-resistant, ground-level flat deck capable of supporting substantial weight; for fifty bucks complete.
You could even build up a low flat mound of packed earth or gravel to lay the plates on, half as high as some wooden contraption, to shed water and give it a 'deckish' look. And you can use the same snow shovel or broom to clear it as you would for wood.
