I want to set some furniture atop other furniture.

The floating tricks we use indoors rarely work outdoors. The closest we get is floating decks on top of fences.

The only way to get those items placed as you want is to use one of the various mods that's prohibited under the ToS.

Your choice on whether you want to take that step as other players have. If you decide to do it, talk to the players who are already floating items in their yard. No one is going to openly give you details in the official forums. Your best bet would probably be going to one of the housing related Discords.

To be fair its the minium height requirement. I've seen people float the brick flooring up to the 2nd floor on the large forge facing to extend that porch. And people float the Gazebos about the same height and have 2 bridges to reach them for a look out tower.

What you're not asking is how did they do it? There is no Stage Panel+loft/shelf combination to use like we have indoors. We know it's possible to sometimes glitch furnishings next to a house up by switch skins (especially in the position where a wall chimney or awning would be)but what about those items we don't see placed right next to the house?

If it was possible to do without third party tools, the information would be getting freely shared just as the information about the butt launcher to reach the top of medium and large houses got shared until people found other ways to reach a roof (which again may require the use of third party tools to place at least one item in just the right spot).

They're using third party tools and they don't make a secret of that. There was the well publicized outdoor market that someone built a year or two back in one of the JP world Goblets that again used third party tools since there is no way to glitch items down, not up.
