@border411 7 лет назад

I would use split lock washers on all those carriage bolts as well. Just ensures that they all stay tighter as the wood shrinks.

What are your thoughts on using those screw in piles instead of the concrete blocks or even digging and pouring concrete posts.

@semchuck90 4 года назад

Quick question, when building a box beam, can you use different width boards? For instance could i use 2×6 around 4×4 posts as well? Looking to build a floating deck myself soon, but it won't be more than 20 inches tall and I'll be using the deck blocks as well. 2 × 12 would be too tall for my use. Thank you in advance.

@emanresutla 6 лет назад

I’m about to build a small, ground level deck that I was hoping to support on one side by existing concrete decking, as you have done here. Is the rim joist just laid on the ground with no fasteners or any form of attachment on that side? If it was in the video, I missed it.

@Barronohbeefdipp 7 лет назад

A little tip is not to use Channel Locks (slip joint pliers) for tightening hardware. By using them, yes they are quick, but as the teeth scrapes against the nut it removes the galvanizing allowing for the hardware to rust. Only use a wrench, box or open, socket, or a crescent wrench.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

Love the tip. I will change my technique tomorrow.

@ericwhitlow7364 6 лет назад

Barronohbeefdipp channel locks are tongue and groove pliers.

@hanskinslo326 5 лет назад

For those of you who don't know, pay close attention to Jeff when he says YOU DO NOT ATTACH A FLOATING DECK TO A FROST-PROTECTED STRUCTURE (such as a house). Frost heave will cause big problems if you do.

@w4shep 3 года назад

Love your videos! I know I'm very late to the game but maybe you'll see this comment and be able to answer my question. What size Simpson Strong tie structural screws are used for the joist hangers? Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience!! Big fan here 🙂

@williambakerjr.9516 4 года назад

Hi I going to build a 12×12 ground level deck do I need to bolt to the house or just build 4 corners in slide the deck to the house?? love you videos

@lcook0825 6 лет назад

What a great informative video. Another great job.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 6 лет назад

Thanks Larry, diving into the archives I see. Cheers!

@ecospider5 4 года назад

I believe this is where you can now use 5/16 structural screws like the grk rss or the spax power lag instead of the 1/2 inch carriage bolts. Removing the need for drilling holes. I think you would want to use a screw long enough that you see it come through the back side of the 4x4 post.

@AdrianGarcia-qq2yh 3 года назад

I'm planning to make a low level deck just on top a concrete slab but I am not that familiar with dos and don'ts here in North America especially on icy weather. My querry is if it is ok to directly put wood or the joist on top of the concrete slab or it is advisable to elevate it a little, the slab has a good slope though. By the way loves all your videos.

@jimmccall2689 7 лет назад

I like how scientific and educational you are in your discussions. Is there any worry about the 4x4 end grain sitting on the concrete deck block, as far as water sitting there and being sucked into the end grain? Any reason to wrap the end of the post in joist tape? For that matter, why not joist tape on top of the joists?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

The deck block has a drainage hole in the center. If water does get absorbed it will quickly be removed with the dry air after the storm. I try not to build anything outdoors with an expectation to last more than 40 years. I find it impossible to manage a clients expectation and so I don't go through processes that may or may not have a small effect. I know that deck is good for 40 and that's what I am selling them.

@lcook0825 6 лет назад

Yeah I watch a lot videos on building things. Learning a lot although living in an apartment in New York City I don’t get much of a chance to use it. Lol. Time isn’t the issue as I’m retired but no space in apartment for a work bench or for storing tools. Lol.

Simpson strong tie joist hanger screws number 9 or 10 ? Any recommendations

@chrisw1506 7 лет назад

Hi there,Great videos very easy to follow so thanks for sharing.Just a question I'm in the UK and the CAMO system isn't very popular here. I've got a deck to do soon and like the hidden appeal. We use a lot of treated lumber here? Do the boards ever move or warp at all? I really want to start using but not sure about it!Keep up the great work - cheers

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

Thanks Chris. In actuality I have found that the boards curl less with the camo system. With a traditional fastener the only downward force on the board is screw head. With the camo system the entire length of the shaft is downward force. This is almost 1 1/2" since the screw is installed on a 45 degree angle. The only down side is it takes 3 times longer to screw down. But I fin d it worth the time to have a lifetime of splinter free deck.

@andydaddy2009 5 лет назад

great work but still no i.d. of what screws used(size) .. brand.. one other video I watched the guy used 3 inch and 4 inch on the railings.. and was saying the crown on the boards had to be curving up.. (I think not) but does it matter w larger boards? do you check the "crown" on the sides?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

3" deck screws. Cheers!

@strongtie 5 лет назад

8:16 Thank you for the shoutout!

@w4shep 3 года назад

What size structural screw do I use for the joist hangers?! Being a disabled person and having started a deck prior to my disability, I've been dreading the thought of having to hammer in all those nails. I am so happy I learned of this product. I've used many other Simpson Strong Tie products in the past - just did not know about this one. Love your products - thanks.

@a.samora5998 5 лет назад

Hello Senor, can you tell me what type of wood is and where to find it porfavor ?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

Pressure treated lumber is available at every building store in North america. If you are building something that comes in contact with the ground be sure to use "ground rated " products. they are not all the same. Cheers!

@rachidhaddane3571 7 лет назад

Good job

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

Thank you Rachid,

@tromboneJTS 5 лет назад

at 4:18 -- are carriage bolts okay for weight bearing??? I was recommended to notch the vertical post to redistribute the weight load.

@georgemckeown3116 5 лет назад

No, they are certainly not. Not to mention that 2 x 6 structure does not meet building codes. This guy needs to read a building code for deck structures.

@thommajors9335 3 года назад

I know I'm late to this video but recently found your channel and really enjoying the learning. I've always been reluctant to do a floating deck for fear of washout/erosion around the blocks and any leveling media used. How do you account for or avoid that problem?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 3 года назад

you can always pour a little post cement around the base and spray with water. it sets up and makes an onsite bowl to hold everything together. Cheers! or dig down a little. Cheers!

@zaidm.6452 Год назад

Hi, What is the difference between this method of building a deck and the one with deck piers that you dig 4 feet and pure concert, I need to build a deck 22” above ground and it is 14’ by 12’. Kind Regards, Zaid

@m.s.builder1803 3 года назад

Good work

@abas-tx9xw Месяц назад

how did you join the two joists together to make a longer one, just with screws ?

@ginovolta6122 7 лет назад

I would love to build a small deck in my yard. But I have some curve areas. How would I bend the wood for the edges

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

Just use your circular saw to cut 3/4 way through the ridge board every 1/4 inch for the duration of the curve. Sounds like a video I should be producing this spring.

@pavelabel781 3 года назад

2:40 Look how beams are attached to the posts. I am not familiar with Canadians building codes, but I am pretty sure this deck will not pass a code inspection in most (if not all) US municipalities - support beam must be placed directly on top of the posts (post could be notched), rather than bolted to the side, so the full load is transferred to the posts. Basically, the entire weight of this section of the deck itself, plus whatever furniture/grill they will have on top of it, plus weight of all the people who might be there is going to be supported by 8 bolts, which are not designed to withstand lateral forces.

@northerncoder 6 лет назад

Great videos. Question, why does the top half of deck have a box built on top of your structure, while the bottom half the deck is built right onto the supports? Why not build the top half of deck right onto the support too and skip the 'box'?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 6 лет назад

when building ground level there is no risk of falling to your death. Way up high I over engineer things a lot.

@thechileacademy4800 5 лет назад

Question about the limestone, is it necessary to use that vs placing the block directly on the dirt/soil? What’s the benefit?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

leveling. Cheers!

@thewoodsystyle 2 года назад

What is the rim joist setting on? Blocks and shims? Thanks!

@gvozd_official 5 лет назад

Super

@gvozd_official 3 года назад

Super 👍🏼

@justgivemethetruth 7 лет назад

I find it interesting that you use just a pile of ... whatever that is, gravel? to hold up the blocks. My old house has this kind of foundation on an outside landing/porch, and they dabbed a blob of concrete or cement down in the ground, then aligned the blocked on top. I don't know why your sand or gravel would move or get disturbed, but it seemed funny to just have everything on a pile of gravel. That doesn't settle and change over time significantly?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

It is just there to make it easier to level the block. serves no structural significance.

@roshawnsims8390 7 лет назад

lol now that is interesting @ barron. So you think tightening galvanized nuts would take the galvi off? I think that most recommended galvi hardware is usually 3x dipped as most people are using treated wood.I would worry about them rounding the nuts more than taking the galvi off. then again if they got the cheap type then if they see the galvi coming off the nuts or heads nothing some outdoor spray paint won't fix. Tape them and spray them black so they look sexy. Good video and watch out for rust.I wonder how long it would take for a nut or bolt to rust so it would fail? I would think way after the wood on the deck failed.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

I guess if you used a really cheap pair of channel locks that couldn't take the torque it could be possible. but then I would be more concerned about my knuckles.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

more concerned about knuckles.lol

@xraydelta100 5 лет назад

This summer I replaced my ranch gate lodgepole posts (2 on a side), after ten years they had rotted right at ground level from snow, ice and water during the winter in Central Oregon high desert area. This time, I did it right and tarred the posts and left a quarter size drain or weep hole at the pole bottoms with an additional tar paper over it. The 5/8" diam. 71/2" lag bolts had some rust only about 2" from the Head of the bolt. I believe they would have held for at least another ten years. This time, I greased the lag bolts when I installed them. So should last longer and remain strong enough.

@peterrelyea7656 4 года назад

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Hi can you please help me plan a very small deck about a foot high against the my house ,like a platform with maybe a step or two . Planning on using pressure treated lumber and trex on top. Not sure how to start . I can send you a picture of my yard. Any information is appreciated. Thanks Peter

@Django44 6 лет назад

Regarding the landscape cloth: for all the decks I have built and never used it, nothing substantial has grown underneath any of them. Not enough sun, air and water gets down there to create the habitat required for anything that would pose a problem for the deck's enjoyment. (My background is horticulture.)

@gsh319 6 лет назад

You guys are great but there's no way I could build that deck in my area. Aside from the hangers, nothing else would meet code. I don't see how that platform is going to remain level with even a small amount of vibration. The dead load alone is going to settle those prefab concrete piers.

@johnd9541 6 лет назад

Agreed......this is ok for homeowners but certainly not minimum building code.

@thechileacademy4800 5 лет назад

Scott H where you located?

@roshawnsims8390 7 лет назад

one Question tho. You talk about nails or bolts being used but they have structural wood screws on the market that I cant see how they would not preform just as well as nails or bolts in a comparable size. I know that I used some to put 2x12 lumber to 4x8 posts and have been standing on them and they are not moving but then again this is not a deck and there are 2 per section and the posts are 6 ft apart. I did use them on some wood stairs also and the stairs are also solid.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

The structural screws are to be used when attaching joist hangers only. This eliminates the need to use a hammer in close quarters of your fingers. The bolts are used to attach box beams to 4x4 posts

Aren't you concerned that the limestone screens you're using will wash away?

@thechileacademy4800 5 лет назад

@rl2jr338 4 года назад

I was going to ask this myself. Maybe if you box it out, it will keep the limestone from washing away.

@mcgillicuddy_ 7 лет назад

Surprised your city would allow you to use a floating deck for that application, in my municipality you can't use floating if the height exceeds 24" but then again we don't have to use the footers at the bottom of the post holes.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

It all depends on the city and the inspector on site. Sometimes you need to haggle a bit to get to an agreement. Most city officials are open to ideas and when you can't agree get an engineer. The city has rules so they don't need to be engineers. There are a million ways to build. You just need to find out what your jurisdiction wants and deliver a product that will pass inspection.

@mini_worx 6 лет назад

Although codes differ from one county/city to another, the one thing that baffles me is the piers passing inspection, as you have them. The gravel underneath will "wash" away from rain and movement. So all in all, those piers will all settle about an inch lower than when set. I'm surprised the city would allow that as oppose to digging down 1'+ to set them into a "pocket".

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 6 лет назад

Just to let you know 2 years now and the deck is doing fine. Cheers!

@mini_worx 6 лет назад

@jhamersmidt1983 7 лет назад

Now you are relying on the shear strength of bolts in post

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

yup. exactly. And it works!

@Mastaholic 7 лет назад

Ottawa Design and Build Renovations Not to code here in Ohio. Joist has to be on top of notched post so all the load is on the post, alleviating shear of the bolt.

@JayWC3333 7 лет назад

Or you have to put an angle bracket under the beam on the post if you don't notch... I agree...bolts alone are no longer code.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 7 лет назад

JayWC3333 cide will be different in each jurisdiction. for best practice consult local building office.

@musicschool4593 7 лет назад

your an idiot. Do think a helicopter will be landing on the deck

@jrbutterfly31 Год назад

A tip for anyone like me who gets their fingers in the way (or just lack of grip strength) when attaching joist-hangers: use quick-clamps to pinch it shut around the joist and hold it in place while you get the first fasteners in.

@MrDiegogue 3 года назад

Dam you need a permit for a deck?

@yougetagoldstar 11 месяцев назад

Do you really have to contact an inspector when building a deck on your own property? I would think that anyone could build any addition on their property. I can understand being prohibited from building a 50 yard tower that can potentially fall onto your neighbors house, but I was surprised to hear that about a deck.
