I’ve seen a lot of bull shit decks that are easily done, lazy craftsmanship. Though this video is a little on the advanced side. This is a legit deck. It really doesn’t get much better than this. It was brilliantly laid out. No chatter. No dumb music. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve watched over 30 videos tonight and this is the one.

I started my deck about 2 weeks ago following this video and oh my god I feel like superman! Super easy to follow and while it will take some time (5 foot woman with not much for strength) for me to finish, I'm very excited! I've gotten more help with the sections I don't feel comfortable doing and I'm having someone build the stairs for me since I don't even want to attempt that and mess up what I've done. This is tiring work but has been worth it already. THANK YOU!!! Anybody that thinks you can't do this, you're more than wrong! You can! And you will! So satisfying!

Tip for those building a deck.. Increase the beam size using a free beam calculator like forte, increases the distance it can span unsupported.. Then you don't have to dig as many footings. Cost is usually a wash. Great video!

@jasonwomack4064 5 лет назад

Pretty good video. Bonus for telling people to let the wood season before coating with anything. One issue though, in all my years of construction the one thing an inspector will tell you to correct, is the lack of gap in the decking. You could be fishing those boards out of the ocean, but it's still better to finish nail as a spacer to avoid a headache.

Nice video! No need for the joist hangers on the rim board though. I guess you could use them upside down since the rim board is hanging from the joists. Hangers are only necessary if the joist is butting into its support piece without being supported within 4’ of the connection.

@webgem14 2 года назад

I wish I’d seen this comment before building my deck. The upside down joist hanger is a pretty good idea. You could use them for and they would provide extra support for the rim joist, facing, and rails. They could also be easier to attach. The main thing they do right side up is help align your nails for toenailing on the inside of the rim. Doing that also does attach the hanger to the joist, which then is attached to the rim. So that does provide some support but not as much as the other way.

I notch my railing posts the same way, but on this one I also mortised the 2x4's into the posts leaving them about 3/8th proud. Did that on a whim and like the look. I do like your short bottom piece connecting the lower rail boards at the corners. I miter mine but will consider that on the next job. Thanks for making this video. kcb

Can't build it now? You'll be able to next year! It's all practice, and it's so damn rewarding. Learn to build boxes with different kinds of joints - the skills you need for that are the basis of practically everything else in woodworking (most things you build - like a deck! - are variations of boxes). I've renovated my entire 70's house (minus electricity, I got a pro for that) with the help of youtube videos and now I'm building my own furniture with youtube videos. Dovetail joints? RU-vid. We're lucky to live in an age where all that valuable information is available for free.

@@scientist100 I dont know what part of florida he lives in but in my area its a fat ass fine. I cant get rid of my trees without having to ask permission and I have to replace them with another tree. He prolly just wants to make sure so a 5k fine doesnt show up at his house.

scientist100 I mean.... he isn’t going to make a video and say that he doesn’t care if you follow code. Someone watching could come back saying they watched his video and something could come back on him for false information. And since he recorded building it, he could’ve been fined if they reported the video not following major safety requirements

To be fair, if its unpermitted, you're gonna have a tough task selling it. You are gonna have to demo it before it would qualify for most financing. The value a PERMITTED deck adds to your home value, offsets the ass pain to get it.

Almost all cities have permit requirements to build a deck. Decks 200sq ft or larger and/or attached to the house require a permit

Should do a video on building a deck around a hot tub. It's insane on how many people have to idea how to build around the tub. You have get in all around the hot tub if any repairs come up.
