THE MOST EPIC DECK INLAY! - Building a Deck With a Herringbone Inlay 

Thanks a lot!! I’m dying to get to the bar details too 🤣

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!!

Thanks so much!!

Much appreciated!

Really appreciate that coming from a veteran of the industry!!

My hat is off to you guys! Can't wait to see what's next! Have any big deck jobs coming up? If so I am ready to see the finished outcome. You guys are going to go far in this industry. Nice to finally see a team that takes pride in their work.

Thanks a lot brother!

I appreciate that Gary!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Thank you my friend!

I appreciate that!! In my opinion deckorators voyage is by far the best board on the market. Amazing colors, super strong board, very minimal expansion and contraction and best traction

@@THEpremieroutdoor I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I was surprised how many conflicting opinions and misinformation there is regarding composites. I've spent hours trying to educate myself on the subject and you've just confirmed my feelings on the matter. Loving this current project you're doing btw. Looking forward to seeing the bar and privacy wall come together!

I don’t know anyone down there, but maybe in the winter lol

I appreciate that man! Jersey all day!

When I throw the belt on I make sure pat has the camera rolling 🤣 I’ve been working on streamlining some of the business end stuff so I can be on the tools more this year

Thanks a lot! It’s deckorators decking in their voyage series. We love it!

Thanks a lot! It’s deckorators voyage

ohhh you sly dog you!!!!

Freakin fantastic Bro. Zippy, Zippy Zoom!! Dirty Jersey out again!!

Always number 1 money making mike g! I need a nickname like that, see what you can come up with for me lol

Thanks a lot! 12 on center for the inlay and the span in that portion was 12 feet

D decorators has the tiger claw clip that they recommend for there boards plus the customer service said tha we can router the ends for the clip and it will hold tight

Swag is the only way we roll!!

What brand of composite are you using

Thank you! We are in south jersey

Nicholas Wall no but joints means he is using full size pieces on a run, not two pieces butting together

Yup, they all get plugs. We always use face screws and plugs on the end of our boards, on small pieces like this it usually is easier to just plug everything. We use clips on the rest of the deck

I’m not sure I understand your question

@@THEpremieroutdoor Sorry. I rewatched and I was seeing something that wasn't happening.

The black stain on the outside of the deck is just stain to hide the framing lumber, on top of the deck it is flashing tape to keep sitting water from infiltrating the joists

Tim Barry with a track saw you can preset the plunge depth and it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

It’s actually really easy with this track saw!

Premier Outdoor Living the fact that you read the comments and bother to reply has caused me to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for your time

With this deckorators decking, it’s a mineral based composite and has nearly zero expansion and contraction, really an amazing product

@@THEpremieroutdoor Thanks for replying. Look forward to seeing what's next around here!

A very basic rule of thumb calculation for Decks and Privacy Fencing: Labor Cost = Material Cost x 3. Used to build 6' privacy fences and that figure worked out great. But composite decking varies in cost between lines and cheaper Trex would cost the same to install than the more pricey Deckorators Voyage. But then if you want fancy inlays like this guy did that is going to cost you more in labor. I built a deck similar to this but smaller, only 260 sqft, from the ground up. Using Trex Select total DIY cost was $7k, and that included a covered pergola over the whole thing. Easy $28k if I had someone build it for me.

Unfortunately only in Jersey!

@@THEpremieroutdoor You need to move to Colorado! Much better than Jersey.

Sounds like a great plan! I’d buy an extra board or two just in case and also would make sure you get a sample of the enhance. It scratches very easily

That’s what the black stuff is on all the flat blocking

All the screw holes get plugged

@@THEpremieroutdoor : Yes, I knew that ... again it is just my preference to use other methods. Great project that you guys put together.

What are you guys using to plug the holes? I know there are several different options and suppliers just curious to which system you use.

Need to predrill all composites for plugs, cortex or any other brand

Just finished 350 soft 2 band picture frame and stairs no predrill looks copacetic

Nope. Cortex comes with a bit that has a felt on it so when you screw the screw in it bottoms out and the hole is made and plug fits in nice and snug

Yeah they totally suck, I bought them in a pinch but I want to be able to go to a store to try on my next pair, I’ve heard good things about danners

only said somthing because i did the same thing .get the nike combat boots or the danners if you like light wght boot

I’ll have to look into those, love the light combat style boots!

@@THEpremieroutdoor get the nikes .want to up grade get the danners.i buy my men a pair every year........they love them

But here is my question for you santos...HOW MANY DECK INLAYS HAVE YOU SEEN?! because if this is your first then it could also be the most epic 🤯

Premier Outdoor Living Wow! I didn’t think you would actually reply to me. Since you asked that question I’ve been pondering this.... in fact this IS the first deck Inlay I have ever seen. In that regard, this is the BEST inlay I have ever seen because it is the FIRST inlay I have ever seen. You have woke me . Thank you sir

🤣🤣 you make me laugh Tony, but where is our sourdough 🤔

Lucky he is a spunk then. That's how it works on video 👍 haven't you ever seen the home improvement shows?

Please don’t tell my clients I’m an amateur, they’d be so upset if they find out 🥺

@@THEpremieroutdoor ( They/Client's) ALREADY KNOW... They're just being human like you ! They ( LET ) it go because they're nice people ! It isn't until you LEAVE... That they, THEE CLIENT'S begin to understand.............. What was it you little boys said in you're vid. MATH DON'T LIE ! Well, little boy... YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW MATH WORKS FIRST !

@@centristozzy5225 unfortunately I have seen home malfunction shows ! Been a carpenter since my dad dragged me around as a kid. And as I ( learned ) I watched his mistakes... And began to SEE that you MUST ! Not trust you're math ! It's got to be done on grid paper. So you can SEE you're own mistakes... Before there cut into the structure !

Ahh shoot, I guess the cat’s out of the bag on that one. At least the clients are still nice while I’m there 🤷‍♂️

Face screws with plugs hold better than hidden groove fasteners. And when picture framing you can't use the hidden fasteners on the boards that run perpendicular to the inner boards. Plus on shorter runs, like his inlay, hidden fasteners can allow the board to slip if someone is running and stops quick. Plus plus hidden fasteners require 1/4" gap which he did not want... LOTS of reasons to still face screw with a Cortex plug system or similar.

Sorry about that, I’ll try to find smarter music for the next one!

So you’re saying it worked, awesome!

Premier Outdoor Living if you have to resort to click bait to get views, you need to lift your game...

Greasemonkey: I'm sure we would all love to see one of your epic projects. I personally think the framing could be so described, and I learned a lot from it!

It's a curse. His head nearly exploded the one time he tried not to say something for longer than 10 mins. True story

Thanks for the input! I’ll try communicating in my next video by just raising and lowering my eyebrows emphatically

Thats what the project time lapses are for!

Thanks for the input man! I’ve been trying desperately to get these videos down to a minute and half, can’t believe I didn’t think of cutting out all my talking!

I actually like explaining your work so keep talking and showing the detail work.👍

What do you think all that black stuff was on top of the blocking ?? 🤣

Dumb fuck watch it properly next time

That is the stuff that sticks ths boards down yeah Sean? You don't need screws it just sticks very cool
