@teddepalma8057 Год назад

Another great video, and just in time as I have a deck project much like this in the near future. Big fan of the tape on top of the joists. It doesn't cost that much compared to the wood, takes only a short time to install, and helps protect against rot. If you're a contractor trying to maximize profit, sure, it's an added expense, but for us DIY'ers a little extra protection means doing the job right and sleeping better at night knowing your deck is going to last.

@gnolls Год назад

Good build video. I have to point out for anyone watching that standard Cut n' Seal end cut sealer may only be suitable for above grade applications. For below grade you must use a product that contains a copper naphthenate based end cut wood preservative otherwise your warranty is void and the wood posts will prematurely decay. Dex sells a product for this at Home Hardware.

@BrentTech Год назад

We have zero trees... and our deck joists rotted out in 7 years. It was crazy. Pressure treated and all... so I ripped it all apart last year, replaced bad joists, and used joist tape and rubber sealant on all exposed joist tops before putting composite decking on top. That thing should last a LONG time now. Wish we'd done it in advance. To anyone else watching this, I'd highly recommend joist tape even if you don't have trees. It's cheap insurance and will protect where screws pierce into the joists (which is where we saw the worst issues).

@housesolace7649 Год назад

So we might have a company do our deck. Should we make sure they do that for the joists?

@housesolace7649 Год назад

Or should we have them do tape and sealant on every cut edge and at every part where the screws go in?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY Год назад

It all comes down to climate. if your wood stays dry the majority of the time the tape is not necessary. however if it is humid and or covered in organics then tape is a big help.

Great advice, but all I would change is 6x6 (will last longer before they rot) instead of 4x4 posts, and put joist decking tape on top of the joists before the floor comes on. So much labour to complete a deck, you don't want to wood to rot.

@locke3141 Год назад

I would say that 90% of composite decking goes 16” OC nowadays. It’s improved a lot since it originally came out. That being said, it’s a great tip to read the instructions and make sure. Also, 16” OC May not be adequate if you are planning a diagonal run of decking too. The manufacturer will specify the right spacing in the literature provided.

Love these videos. My wife and I are about to jump into the process of adding a deck onto our FIRST home, and your lessons are invaluable... Same time, I worry about people. I care. Brother, Ill say this. Consider some BREATHING exercises or techniques. Relaxed breathing. This might sound kind of crazy BUT since watching your first video I was completely struck by how much you seem to strain to breath while you are talking. It sounds like you are always out of breath, are working to catch your breath, are nervous breathing or something. Breathing rhythm is a super super important thing when it comes to longevity. They actually have coaches that will help with this kinda thing. relearn breathing techniques.

Hi Jeff, At 25:36, you suggested using PL Premium to hold down the picture frame edge ... but you put joist tape down on the joist. So now you have a really good bond between the picture frame wood and the TAPE! I wondered, does the the tape eventually bond to the joist underneath? Not likely. So I went on to the next video, "Watch THIS Before Building Your Deck", and found the segment at 25:45 that showed screws applied to the outer edge and then Camo screws on the inside edge. Confusion resolved! I suggest that that you either cut out this segment or add a brief new segment that explains this.

Any issues with frost heaves, etc. with a floating deck like this versus a traditional deck with concrete piers below the frost line? I’m in the northeast US and would love to build a deck off the back of my house and trying to figure out the best but least expensive/easiest route to take. If I don’t have to figure out how to mount a ledger or dig 4’ for piers, that would be big time and money saves.

@fhuber7507 Год назад

It can certainly shift with frost and it can settle. It might need to be re-leveled, but you should be able to do it easily with such a small deck. A couple of bottle jacks and some shim material...

@tredogzs Год назад

If the deck is attached to the house you NEED piles. The frost WILL pull the deck off the house by moving it up and down, this video has a floating deck that is NOT atrached to anything or high enough to need a permit or railings.

yes it all raises and lowers again in the spring. that is why you cannot attach to the house, and you want to consider how water moves during a freeze thaw scenario.

@joshieburger 3 месяца назад

Is this in Canada? “Box beams” go against code in most if not all of the US… all beams need to be on support post, not fixed to the side, and post must either be notched (no notching of 4x4s allowed), or use approved post to beam manufactured connectors. ALSO, posts MUST be IN the ground. Some exceptions exist for souther or dry states, but almost all have a below surface requirement, and most do not allow just setting on pre-cast post bases Great build, but everyone should definitely check their local building codes (as with any build)

@toin9898 Год назад

Could you do this with joist hangers after setting up the beams? I feel like this would give a little bit too much height for what I need to do in order to skirt the permit requirements?
