@Glenn_and_ShannonsSalty_Life Год назад

Excellent craftsmanship!! I’ve decided that when I replace mine, I’m going to use sonotube with a Simpson base plate screwed into it with my posts mounted to that. No wood to ground contact, and if they do rot, they can be replaced

@matthewwarfield4302 Год назад

Exactly how I mount all my posts and they won't rot out, EVER. I'm a contractor and have seen too many posts, from fences to decks, that were rotted out right at ground level. Do it once and do it right.

I have posts that were set that way 40 years ago. Still solid. Still in use. Still stout. In use to this day. My father in law taught me this method then. We live on the property now. Well done and cheers from Oklahoma.

@TKCL Год назад

Glad to hear that. A lot of misconceptions out there ablut the subject.

@jason27swg Год назад

40 years ago there was pressure treated lumber treated with arsenic. Now you have pressure treated then ground contact. They are not treated the same. The 6x6s are ground contact but most of the 2x stuff is not ground contact. At least from the big box stores ...I only buy yella wood pressure treated lumber for all outdoor work

@TKCL Год назад

You can still get arsenic cured lumber. My 8x8s for the barn and 6x6s for the house are. You have to have a direct contact with the lumber yards that still treat this way. Technically it's for ag only.

@RJ-cc1fz Год назад

I have pulled up mailboxes and posts years after they were set with dry concrete and the concrete was still dry near the post. The outside of the concrete was hard but water doesn’t always reach all the concrete around the post… That has taught me to always premix the concrete and also don’t add to much water because excess water makes concrete very weak like what happens when excess water is poured onto concrete. Decks gonna look great.

@kathynorby5096 Год назад

I've seen another channel buy the premixed concrete. It saves time but doesn't save money.

@TKCL Год назад

In our wet climate (Florida) I've never heard of concrete not curing when poured dry. Our soil is very damp, should be OK.

@RJ-cc1fz Год назад

@@TKCL it’s not that it won’t cure. It’s that the outside of the concrete gets water first and gets hard which prevents an adequate amount of water from getting to the concrete closer to the post. I suppose it doesn’t always happen like that.

@sunshades_tint 2 месяца назад

Rookie question here. How do you know the spacing of your post, and also how close to the pool to put them? I can’t figure out how to figure my post spacing but I believe I can do the rest! Nice build by the way.

@TKCL 2 месяца назад

You can play around with your spacing, I figured out my deck size and added posts where I knew the railing kits would fit between. In my case the railing kits were for posts spaced 6ft on center. If not using railings you can space posts further apart. There are calculators online for deck joist size and spacing. You will for sure want to double up at a minimum your ledger boards of going over a large open span before you get to your next post.

@sunshades_tint 2 месяца назад

You need to space your posts based on what railing you will be using. Most require a certain distance apart. If you can cut your railings (like I did) then 6ft apart is a good rule of thumb.
