In this video we will walk through the overall process of how to build a deck and restore an old deck. We'll also show how the deck stairs, a privacy wall, and cable railing were built.
Today's video is sponsored by Trex. Trex decking is a composite decking material that is low maintenance, durable, easy clean, and great looking choice of decking. To learn more and check out colors available head over to bit.ly/2JPfLL9
We'll restore an old deck by tearing off the existing decking, replacing the joists, and then installing Trex decking. For the new deck, we'll pour the footings, put up the posts, frame, block, install decking, and do steps and a rail. The DIY cable railing is made by welding posts and then using affordable cable and hardware.
The video shows the complete transformation of the deck area from start to finish. I hope this episode provides inspiration for you to build or restore a deck. A deck is a great place to entertain friends and family which will create memories for years to come. It's also a fantastic investment to add value to a home.

At first I thought this was going to be Alberta, it looks like home, with outdoor hockey rinks to boot. Then I saw the corn hole game, and realized it had to be a close American neighbor. Bravo to you, best tutorial I've come across.

@carterhoule1276 3 года назад

You did a better job than a lot of contractors could/would do, that's coming from a deck building contractor. You almost have more tools than me too. Impressive.

@DaveC-sx3gl Год назад

I have to commend you on such a beautiful job. The deck as well as your explanations on how you accomplished certain aspects of your build were amazing. Most videos of deck builds do not go through the why's and how's like you did, so for that I'm truly appreciative. I'm sure you'll enjoy that beautiful view for many years to come. Thanks again.

Looks like you're in "Big Sky Country," but regardless of where you call home, your natural view is beyond description. The deck is a worthy addition that will only allow you to enjoy your surrounding and the wild critters who occasionally traipse by. Well, done, my good man.

@katdog100 4 года назад

Hello Pete, I want to first give God praise for giving you strength to remodel your house and build your deck. Your video was so inspirational and gives me ambition to build my deck and finish my basement. I have gotten quotes after quotes for hiring contractors and have become frustrated with the up charge that I can only imagine is due to the pandemic. Even if I chose to hire a contractor they can’t get to me until either this winter or next fall. So, I’m considering doing the work myself. I believe I can do it. But I’m a little nervous with the not knowing how and where to start. Wish me God’s blessings. Thank you

@DIYPETE 4 года назад

I wish you luck and hope the project goes well! Yes, the pandemic is affecting building costs tremendously. It's tough for me to by a 2x4 these days when they are $6.50 when I'm used to spending $2.50. I hope costs go down sooner than later. Take care!

The View and the Quality of workmanship 🔥

@buqwik525 Год назад

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C !!! Your work is the best I've ever seen !! Our 12' X 30' screened-in wood deck was 34 years old and clad in 5/4" planks. Two years ago, the rotted planks were collapsing. Unbeknownst to us, the existing 8" x 12' joists were 24" apart, not 16" with no center support with few joist strap nails. The original planks ran parallel with the house. We decided to run the 12' Trex planks perpendicular from the house to eliminate butt ends. So we bought 62 12' Trex planks as not to have any butt seams and also used the tab fasteners rather than nails. What we were NOT aware of, is the Trex -Tape.

@fernandopaez3986 Год назад

Believe or not, THIS IS THE SAME VISION DECK I HAVE FOR MY SPLIT FOYER HOME! WOW! Spot on i swear! LOL! And now with the help of this video , i see how is going to turn out! Is crazy that i even want to put a hot tub on the same side where it was position on this video AND THE STAIRS in the middle of the deck as well! So crazy! Only difference, my deck would be higher! Again thank you for this video! Oh forgot to mention, the railing also the same way! My dad does metal work so i think he can do the railing same way with the cable. At least i know now how many cable rows looks good! Perfect!!

@DIYPETE Год назад

Hey! haha that is awesome :) You'll have to email some photos of your finished project. Would love to see how similar your setup is! So glad the video gives you a couple ideas. I am putting up a new video tomorrow of our front deck cable railing project and I'm thinking it might be similar as well. Anyhow, good luck with everything!

This was so well done. Love all your explanations and details about how it all got done. 26' x 10' deck that we are getting ready to re-do. It was done with lumber and the boards have definitely seen better days and so we are looking at composite decking and will probably go with Trex. Thanks again for doing this well documented build. I'm sure I will refer to it often.
