The removable railing is definitely original. The golf platform on a deck is uber original. The metal spindles on the second floor is a nice match. Agreed, 16" oc is worlds better than 24" oc for the long run as well as the stainless steel screws.

@roostercogburn809 Год назад

You go girl...

@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr Год назад

Your deck build series has been nothing but amazing! This has been an inspiration to me in my recent deck and porch projects. Thanks for all you do, your technical support and amazing input!

@LosingDrea Год назад

April this is amazing of you...I am over here floored by your awesome talents. There isn't anything I don't love and those hiding spaces need to be a national thing with people creating them for people who can't or choose not to build it for themselves. Like who wouldn't want to build it for themselves, because if you can anyone can. You truly are my HERO!

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Thanks! Yes, there is nothing special about me. I started not knowing anything and built on my beginner experience and confidence, learning from mistakes and could then start doing more complex builds. If I can, anyone can. Thanks for watching.

@leemack5873 Год назад

This Aussie girl loves watching you. You have built yourself a great lifestyle with your talent. Well done! You have inspired me. Thanks April. ❤

@thereseboogades8498 10 дней назад

OH HECK YEAH! Now, that is a beautiful outdoor living & entertainment area with a primo golf platform. Are you kidding? Wow! Such great ideas, removable rails, taking advantage of your slope with the extra storage shed. And those drawers! Gorgeous wood & craftsmanship! 😮 Woo Hoo! 🎉❤

@AprilWilkerson 9 дней назад

Thank you! Yes, I love entertaining on the deck or just relaxing there after a long day. Thanks for watching.

@TR-rz1xt Год назад

Totally fabulous April, everything about it is stunning and just rewards for all your amazing hard work all these years. "Well done" hardly covers it!!!

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words.

@you166mhz Год назад

@deview123 Год назад

April, you did a fantastic job building that deck. Plus the great job with the ballasters, the drawers and the storage for your mower. Beautifully done. Congratulations

@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461 Год назад

THANKS APRIL,🤗 WE LOVE ❤️ EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE…ESPECIALLY THAT YOU DO NOT CUT CORNERS, FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SO USEFUL AND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME AND THAT YOU HAVE A CHANNEL THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO IT AND SHARING WITH US ALL 👍😎💚💚💚

@olddawgdreaming5715 Год назад

Thanks for a great series on your deck build. My wife and I watched this episode together and she especially likes the removable railings to hit the golf balls. Stay safe and have lots of fun out there. Keep up the great videos. Fred.

@alansmith4734 Год назад

4:51 You should build a wooden wall box, with a glass front, that says "Break In Case of Fire" on the glass. Inside the box, place a stick with a marshmallow on it. =) Fun Fact: Top Golf Golf Balls have an RFID Chip in each one! This is how the balls are used for scoring.

@mikejohnson219 Год назад

There’s awesome - then there’s APRILSOME!!!! Absolutely love the build and the ideas included therein. Looking to make some of those drawers for under the house. Can’t wait to see the “swanky cool retractable net” you devise. Continue the epicness.

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for watching.

@countryside_tenderfoot Год назад

Amazing deck! Golf tip - the bottom of the swing should be on the target side of the ball. Use a spot about 1-2” in front of the ball to look at instead of the ball. Make some practice swings as you normally would with the ball in the center of your swing but try to have the bottom of your swing on the target side parallel to your spot (1-2”). Your natural athleticism will automatically adjust to the change after 5-10 swings. If on grass, use a tee positioned 1-2” target side of the center of your swing. Keep trying to clip the tee with the bottom of your swing. Then add a ball - eventually put the tee and ball center of stance, while looking 1-2” target side. Have fun - and really like your low score keeper!

@karolw5438 Год назад

I have been watching you for a while now and thank you for your information about the projects you are showing. You make me want to get out into my wood shop! Take care and see you on your next video!

@robertwazniak9495 Год назад

I’ve been watching you since early on when you would spend half your video trying to figure out which end of the nail to hit with the hammer. You’ve come a long way. Thanks for taking us along the journey.

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Well, even as a beginner, I knew which end of the nail to hit, but I get what you were saying. I never put on airs, always showed my mistakes (still do) and learned from them. I built on my experience and confidence and now feel I can tackle any project I choose. Thanks for staying along for the ride.

@jasonsecaur7019 Год назад

@martinusriovanni4632 Год назад

This series came out at the perfect time as I am delving into my own first deck. (12x24 covered). I picked up 8 feet span decking because it was on a fire sale and your dividers were the perfect solution for my situation. The under deck storage and the drawers are simply inspiring and watching your walkway potion inspired me to make one along the front of my deck and replicate my parent's garden they were so proud of when they were alive. I'm excited about the build and the ideas you inspire. You're an amazing person, builder, and content creator. All the luck to you in all of your future endeavors. Sincerly someone who NEVER comments on youtube videos but felt this was a MUST.

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying my channel. Thanks for watching.

He really does! He loves coming over and we hit some balls, sometimes playing a game, cook out and overall visit. Thanks for watching and for staying along for the ride.

@vhomukwevho Год назад

What I love is that every single thing about this build is functional

@tajjej3649 Год назад

Years ago, we had a deck built on the back of our house. We planned to barbeque as often as possible, so my Mother suggested to the builder to put in a gas line from the house to the outer edge of the deck. When we moved in, we could barbeque using the LP that the house was running on. Not many people can say they have a 500lb LP tank for their barbeque. Years later, when natural gas became available, a simple part switch (which the Gas Company did) and we had a Natural Gas barbeque. Sweet!

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

@allenwilson9656 Год назад

I really like how you painted the post black to hide them against the darkness of under the deck , the whole build is awesome but the spindle system is most attractive

@splinters_66 Год назад

@armanger6254 Год назад

Very Awesome! Congrats April!

@floriangerdes Год назад

Amazing deck with so much clever features!

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Glad you like it!

@no9scrum Год назад

Might be worth while looking at setting up a decent sized net to act as a target for your range?? So you don’t have to go rooting around the snakey bushes every night, you can just collect them from the net Similar to the set up they use in top golf, guarantee you can make something that looks 10 times better for a fraction of the cost

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

In the video, I address that I have a large net that catches the balls for swinging all the clubs. The area the balls land out by my garden and Shop, I am walking out there all the time anyway so it's no problem walking with my shag bag to collect them. Thanks for watching.

@edritger7233 Год назад

Pretty sweet! Did you make a storage solution for the removable rails when the deck is in "golf mode"?!

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

They could be stored under the deck but I just set them aside to replace after we're through hitting balls. Thanks for watching.

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Awesome! Yes, I try to mix it up. Some only want to see the more complex builds or think I'm slacking. Others only want to see beginner skill projects and complain I'm no longer a DIY. Sure is hard to please everyone. :) Thanks for watching.

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Yes, I addressed this in the video. They land out beside my raised garden and shop area. I just walk down with my golf ball shag bag when bucket is empty and it picks them up quickly. Thanks for watching.

@catgynt9148 Год назад

@@AprilWilkerson I was picturing your dog going wild down range. Thanks again

@ronaldbell735 Год назад

This is from Navy days For when your railing down around the fight deck there is net sticks out from the to catch someone fell just suggestingit would be great if you had folks over with kids that to close to the side when rails are down

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Rails wouldn't be down if kids around. Plenty to enjoy without having to hit balls. Thanks for watching.

@FredMcIntyre Год назад

Every aspect/feature of the deck turned out great April, awesome job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... I wonder if I just throw out the Idea of a golf ball collecting drone, will someone in the maker community see this comment and make it? 🤔 ... Happy Father's Day Rick, you've done good! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
