Man. When I was growing up, I was watching a wooden fence support beam near my house age and rot throughout the years before collapsing to the winds. I can't imagine ONE wooden beam supporting an entire structure like that! Seeing a deck, walls, stairs, a roof and what looks like furniture inside being supported by ONE skinny beam SCREAMS death trap!

@nevasoba5953 10 месяцев назад

The deck isn’t built to support itself ,let alone the roof and stair system above. My thoughts exactly.

@woodrmp1 6 месяцев назад

This is crazy. How could any "professional" build this? I built a 14x22 deck (fully permitted and inspected) and I used TWELVE 6x6 posts on 12" diameter concrete piers sunk down 4'. And this deck is 2-5' off the ground depending on grade. Then again I'm a mech engineer and I may have an "over-engineering" problem lol.

Can't say I'd want to be standing under there. I wonder if people realize just how much weight that is. That's asking a lot of that post... Ultra dangerous.

im not even close to consider myself a commercial/professional builder, yet all the projects i work on are 1000% more secure. i have never built a deck yet i know enough that beams need support and should be attached to each other!

@donnash5813 19 дней назад

That is very repairable structure. The joists don't get wet with the porch above so no rot. Just need to replace one post and add a couple more.

@pauldowding8185 23 дня назад

You are a brave man for standing under that.

@dennyknowles7918 2 месяца назад

I think the coolest thing is that it's still doing fine even with all the load on it. I've demo'd plenty of manufactured homes that looked like they had been assembled by tweakers who only had access to popsicle sticks, and those homes were still going strong, even after 40+ years in areas with a high snow load. Personally, I think building codes are written by insurance companies and manufacturers in order to drive up insurance liability costs for contractors and squeeze more money out of homeowners. Just my two cents anyways...

@AllknowingUnknown 10 месяцев назад

Is the homeowner on the hook for this work or can you sue the contractors for building a clearly inadequate and unsafe deck?

@Momoka7 11 месяцев назад

The big question is now, how it went through inspection after being build. In my area whenever you try to build something a city inspector comes.

@andyking9673 10 месяцев назад

in my city the inspectors are builders that went bankrupt for issues with their projects---they often don't know what's a problem and they are not responsible for any future failures

@shanew7361 Год назад

Wow, what a piece of trash. What did they do to fix it?

@armageddonready4071 6 месяцев назад

That thing needs at least three new uprights to take that load. Replace the rotten one, and put two new ones under their stairs? Better hope that roof doesn’t see any snow before it’s fixed. Don’t matter you are on earth hail it’s always a thing.

The fix doesn't look complicated at all. Carriage bolts and four 6x6 will fix that right up. If it were me I would also replace the edge board with two 2x8's. 2x6 works but not enough margin for me.

I don't care if the second header had positive support or not, its still undersized.

@Midman1972 10 месяцев назад

There’s nothing inherently incorrect with the sistered joist/built-up beam being notched/rabbeted only to the first member of the rim, as long as it’s fastened per an approved nailing schedule. The problem is the span and load require at least one additional, properly sized column support.

@rossb5593 8 месяцев назад

I don't believe thats true. The rim is now acting as a flush beam in this construction which requires a double rim. It's a double for a reason. Both need to be fully resting on top of the post with an appropriate strong tie connector. Definitely needs another post at the stairs as well.

@martinpohll3553 9 месяцев назад

@mikeorosco4787 6 месяцев назад

Fix though. Add a beam under the rim joist. Pocket it at the house,support it with a new 6x6 and attach the stairs to it. YOU probably want to tear the entire deck down and cost the homeowners 25g

@guywhocomments 2 месяца назад

From the Fortnite school of carpentry.

@BrettRutecky Месяц назад

A 4x6 can hold something like 30,000lbs on a vertical like that. Its now bowing because of the load, its bowed because it was wet wood when the deck was build. The reason to use a 6x6 is not because of load capacity as this video implies, it is because of cross forces due to wind etc. Honestly, your lack of understanding in this one area hurts the creditability of everything else you have said.

@hxhdfjifzirstc894 11 месяцев назад

Things stand, until they don't. Just like you can bend a paper clip several times, before it breaks. Now, try bending rebar back and forth until it breaks... You can build a deck like a paper clip, or you can build it like rebar. Your choice.

@voiceofraisin241 10 месяцев назад

I would have 3 more supports. One at the opposite end. And one on either side of the steps. With the supports at the steps you could wall it up with a door and have some storage too.

@yamchayaku 9 месяцев назад

One wooden post is prone to rotting and collapsing. God forbid Termites find that ONE post. And don't get me started on what would happen if you had a party on that deck.

@magchicago100 10 месяцев назад

Your comments seem subjective. "you would..." You prefer...." Should you mention codes and loads min to justify comments? Here in Chicago decks are required to be 100 lbs/sqft with massive metal braces, bolts, connectors and more requirements than rural areas would ever encounter.
