How can I secure plastic pallet decking on muddy ground for durability?

Hi. I would like to use pallets for decking. Any tips for using the plastic ones? Wondering how to make them secure? My garden has grass but the dirt is very muddy. I thought plastic ones would last longer than the wood, as the wooden pallets might rot.

First dig wholes where the feet of the decking frame is going to be and make some concrete footings and then build a frame out of pressure treated lumber and attach the plastic pallets to the frame with composite decking screws

I recommend that the plastic is strong and prevents mud leakage
