Watch the UPDATED VIDEO!!! CLICK HERE: • DIY Pathway with wood ...
It's time to stop dragging mud from our #pathway onto the deck and into the house. Building up this 40 foot run along the south side of our yard was something we had been putting off due to the cost of concrete and or pavers.
The idea of building a wood #walkway never really crossed my mind until recently when I watched a few videos online. The warm feeling of a wood pathway some how resonated with me in this area of the yard. I had always had my heart set on concrete or pavers but they can be a bit dull looking.
I know a wood pathway won't last as long as concrete but on this side of the house it will be sheltered from a lot of the seasonal elements. My prediction is it should last about 10 years and who knows where we will be at that point in life. If we are still in this house then I guess Ill redo it at that time.

Thank you, turned out better than the first attempt. Tango now runs it, full speed, he is much happier now that he doesn't have to tip toe down it.

Sorry dude, but I did laugh when you fell the second time into the window well, I feel like I've done that before. Good idea and great video.

I laughed too, that was a tough day. Glad I could be the focus of your laughter.

Great job . . . from a rain soaked alley to a nice finished garden path . . . next Spring you might add a few dwarf shrubs to soak up any surplus water . . . super job!

@DIYBuilt 2 года назад

Hey thanks so much and great idea on the dwarf shrubs. Not sure if you had a chance to watch my update video to this job but it’s definitely worth the watch time, also a big improvement. Cheers my friend

So clumsy. You dropped down on your knees while washing your wooden pavements. I was shock and it makes me laugh a bit. Nice video very informative.😊😱🤪👍🏻🤝

I actually fell in the window well hole, it was kinda funny though. Thanks for watching.

Next time treat the wood prior to installment would make it easier on your back.

Looks great .. I'm going to try this with a few tweakes of my own ..appreciate the video and the inspiration 👍

@DIYBuilt 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words. It turned out awesome however I did do an update to that project. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, it’s worth watching before you start yours.

@michelleb6071 Год назад

Very pretty!🥰 I like the updated version, too, which made it better for your dog. The wood against the gravel is a nice contrast. That was a lot of work though lol

@DIYBuilt Год назад

Thank you, yes a lot of work but definitely an improvement in the space Plus our dog is much happier

@harveymutte6880 2 года назад

An interesting idea ,one sure to beat slugging in the mud and to really help drainage You are honest you do seem to make things just a little harder than they could be I think I would begin by shooting a line with a transit I understand some have limited tools ,so perhaps run a string line and dig the trough BEFORE laying down the tracks I understand the second time is usually easier I would also use the wood treatment as someone else mentioned before laying down your walk boards Much easier chore sitting on saw horses and then you can treat top bottom and edges really well I might just soak them in a pan get it done quick and easy But here around my place I find that water seal to be of little use deterring termites or rot Good move NOT using treated lumber on the walk way it has such a tenancy to bow up and check and bow so bad And I would countersink and plug my screw holes with buttons that would give a great look There was a "non organic " decking product advertised as I was watching that might work great Great job you did at solving a problem One might ask if I have so many ideas ,why not make my own post ....Hey I just build things with my hands Im not smart enough to work a camera Ohhh nest time I would dern sure take that gate down to cut the bottom and perhaps top off

@DIYBuilt 2 года назад

Hey Harvey thanks for the visit any taking the time to watch the video. You definitely touched on many areas where I could have sped up the time for this project and also some great tips for improvement. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment. Appreciate it my friend.

@joycey4754 Год назад

Your soil looks good from here. Where is your cement like clay?

@DIYBuilt Год назад

It’s there, just deeper down.

@maryhupf4915 2 года назад

i've got a mud trail along my back fence and have been struggling to some up with a solution that will stand up to a 70 lb dog running up and down it several times a day. This might be it. I hope you were ok at the end of the day. We've all done it.

@DIYBuilt 2 года назад

Thanks, it was definitely a hard day but it’s all good. We couldn’t be happier with the walkway however we did do an update to it which really improved it. If you haven’t already watched the updated video, you can find it on our channel. All the best.

@TheCompoundctc 3 года назад

This turned out great exactly what I need to do - quick question - how wide are the 2x6 steps?

@barrybird67 Год назад

Great idea but I'd worry about the 4 X 2 getting slippery,

@DIYBuilt Год назад

I was worried a bit too but actually, it’s not bad at all.

@anthonyscinocca4380 Год назад

I don’t like introducing a lot of rocks around a garden, but I do like the boardwalk. Can you suggest a different base pad for the wood beams?

@DIYBuilt Год назад

All I could suggest would be to use composite in place of wood beams, a bit more expensive but would last longer

@richardanspach4787 2 года назад

Hey buddy, did you sand the wood first before staining/sealing .???

@richardanspach4787 2 года назад

I’m asking cause Id like to know if I should sand before sealing n staining but don’t want to if I don’t have to.!! I’m doing a walkway just like yours minus the rock.!!

@DIYBuilt 2 года назад

No I didn’t sand it. I didn’t see the point being exterior and just a walkway.

Maybe it would be easier to protect before installing, your knee would tank you.

@DIYBuilt please guide me how to treat my untreated wooden planks. They are 1 innch thick and 1.5 foot in length vs 6 inch width. I brought varnish as well but the plank have a rough surface so i cant coat them properly. What should i do to let my pathway last

You could be right, I figured, we only get about 3 good months of summer and with 5” of rock in place, I should only get the odd one popping up and I can take care of that as needed. Thanks for the visit. Cheers
