I'm not tying to be an asshole but everything about this isn't right. I've built hundreds of decks and the only time 2x4 is used for railing on a PT deck. Not to mention they're what, 24" on center?? And it's being held up by single 2x4 and screws? I can tell by alot of the comments that these people don't know what they're looking at and I get that. Just because it "looks good" doesn't mean it's right at all. Any real carpenter, framer, contractor or building official would shit a brick looking at this.
Not good… no membrane on the grass, it will 100% grow back with and grow through the decking and will look hideous. The weeds must be looked off completely first
Since no sunlight can reach underneath, I don't think any grass would grow as you're envisioning. It's been almost four years, and I haven't seen any grass growing there. I hope this information helps.
Friendly critique, you need to support the joists with jack studs, relying on the shear strength alone of those screws is future failure. once one or 2 go, it's a "domino" effect of shear value failure. You should have cut the jack studs to the height between the patio stone and the bottom of the joist(s), then fastened them to the "king" style "stud/leg" you used to support the entire deck.
This is very wrong. You do need to reach hard soil (30/50cm down average, depends on your ground) to have STABLE foundations. This way you minimize greatly the chances of your whole deck moving. If you simply lay it over the ground, it will end up crocked. Wood moves, it will twist over time (naturally, all woods do it, specially when exposed outside). Then you do not connect the terrace to the ground, which is nuts plus you make a clear (non treated) wood to concrete direct contact point. That is going to root. Essentially, this terrace will stand strong and nice for a few years, depends on how easy the weather and season changes are. Eventually, (soon) it will be a mess. Another thing is, you should have a membrane to stop growth under the deck. You might have treated the area chemically and that will keep anything from growing there for a couple of years at most.. add another cause it is without direct light but growth will eventually come back... good luck stopping it once you already have a deck there. Simply lay a black sack gardening membrane (at LEAST a plastic if not..) the sack is best, so there is a bit of an air flow to transfer moisture out instead of trapping it, which could potentially cause fungus to grow.
I have a similar install coming up. I noticed you are also close to the house with the roof edge. Was it hard to get the roof cover caps slid on with little space? I have about 1 1/2 feet of space between the gazebo roof edge and the house wall. Any tips for getting the cover to slide on?
I'm absolutely astonished truly amazed You deserve a long vacation if anyone does! Yes, you made it! Remember just one thing, don't bring any instructions and buttons and bows nuts & bolts YIPs! Ooee
I counted all the times you went back and forth trying to get the level reading, it was SHOCKING about 450,000 *times at approximately the velocity of186,226*miles per second.
Wouldn't it be hell if you found out after you've finished putting all together that you misread the instructions and you had to go through it all over again: YIPS!
Best video for how to attach the soft box on the Neewer 660!❤ Could you please show us how you pack it up when not using the lights? What kind of carrying bag do you use? Thanks in advance.
The whole structure "hangs on nails". It doesn't do that. It's bad. The whole thing should be supported from below with wood, and nails should only hold it together. After a while it will start to "float". Only screws would do the trick.
@@huangjianbin I do not agree with you. The calculation is simple, the nail loses its strength after 10 minutes (it cools down). The screw still holds. Holds even after 10 years. The nails come out slowly.
I wish I could have someone doing all the filming while me can focus on doing the actual work at that time. I did all those recordings all by myself. Unfortunately it doesn't meet up to your expectation.
Can you actually get an angle on the lights with the softbox on? I cant move the lights to an angle anymore which is really annoying when I want to film stuff and put the lights slightly above and angled…
Hi, I want to get this Costco 3.7 m x 4.3 m Wood Gazebo. I have a concrete slab ready which is meant to take the weight etc. However the dimensions on my concrete slab are 5m x 3.6m. Wanted to confirm if the dimensions provided are for the Roof perimeter or the base of the posts. Could someone advise the actual distance between the outer edges of the posts
@@huangjianbin Thanks. Just to confirm, we are talking about the 4.3 X 3.7 Gazebo? When you say post to post are you referring to the outer edge of the post? If so, I will need 3.37m depth which I should be able to manage given my concrete slab is 3.6m. The width is no issue.
I am stuck on step 26 Attached Twist Brackets They don't align up with gaps on top and on some post gap is on the bottom. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Having the deck sit on those boards like that is idiotic. You're relying on the strength of nails at that point if you aren't using screws 🤦♂️ Put small boards underneath the frame next to the ones supporting it that way somethings directly underneath your framing. The screw will just sheer off that blocking 🚫 Unless that's cedar it'll rot outside not being pressure treated.
Better check with your local council. I built it on a floating deck, both are not permanent structures, so I don't think any permit is required for this case.
