this deck wont have long life because beam is under gap where water will go, they should use protective cover over the beam before installing deck boards

Not only that but that beam looks like some sort of LSL beam. Maybe they have kinda of outdoor rated waterproof LSL but I doubt that and engineered wood usually does not like water at all.

Compared to what you see in real job sites the disrespect and yelling at the help compared to your show is black and white.

0:04 - Those Simpson ABA post bases are spec'd to have a minimum of 2 inch clearance from the edge of concrete to prevent blowout, and this one is hanging off the edge... If the concrete guy is going to be that sloppy in his work, better size up your column footers for more tolerance.

Those hidden fasteners are garbage. I used the same ones for a deck project for a family member. They tend to strip out if your not careful when setting them. I think they’re 1 1/4”. When they should be at least 2-2 1/2”. I believe Trex makes them.

@scotttovey 4 года назад

I think I would have taken a piece of the board and used it as a spacer to begin driving the screws in, then, once all the screws are started, the spacer will remain in place and you can just slide the next board in place without having to worry that the spacer will fall out as the board the spacer is inserted too, and the screw, will keep the spacer in it's place.

@daveydavis2398 Месяц назад

I'm painting a lot of that poly decking 15 years after installation. Just for the sake of honesty. I understand that 15 years is pretty good for the decking planks, but still it might be good to train people to expect a greyed cedar deck look, that's a material that really lasts.

@straight_to_finish 3 года назад

I’ve learned a lot from Tommy since I was a kid. The one technique I’ve never agreed with is pitching the deck for drainage. The gaps in the deck boards allow for drainage. I prefer a perfectly level deck. The only exception would be a 3 season screened deck without gaps in the decking.

@ryan17954 3 года назад

Porches are built with pitch? Why would a deck not be? Not all decks are built with pressure treated wood either. And being Tommy is from Massachusetts, where there are 4 changing seasons, winter with lots of snow that does a number on decks.

@jakobdaniel2110 2 года назад

If there’s no pitch even with the gaps in the decking water will collect on every individual piece of decking and not drain

@danjohnson6637 4 года назад

Why didn't you use the hammer drill to drive in the wedge anchors? Set the hammer drill to the hammer mode after drilling the hole. Light pressure on the top of the wedge anchor bolt will drive it in quickly. A millwright taught me that trick a few years ago. It's very efficient. Especially if you carry the hammer drill, impact, and the wedge anchors (in a roofing nail pouch) all on 1 good belt.
