Is there a part 2?
this is going to be a multi part series. decking, built in benches, fire pit with gas, privacy fence, and pergola build.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY excellent! Can't wait as that kind of deck size + a pagola is exactly what I want to do. I'd be curious for a rough materials cost breakdown for the different parts at the end too!

Probably my favorite CZcamsr on DIY content.
Guy does everything, knows all the details and in-and-outs of every job, and still does all the labor himself which is the most impressive part for me. This kind of guy can do everything that real everyday people need in a practical sense, and he's very down to earth. A real heroic type of person I think.
After spending some time watching your videos I did my first project in 2020, building a foundation and shed. Now I'm buying a home to renovate myself! Thank you for all of the time and energy you put into these videos. They really make a difference!
That is awesome!
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).
So we might have a company do our deck. Should we make sure they do that for the joists?
Or should we have them do tape and sealant on every cut edge and at every part where the screws go in?
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.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yeah I'm sure it would have been different if we were in Arizona or something... here in Ohio, it didn't stand a chance.
Sounds to me like you had really bad wood. I have never seen PT rot out in less than 25 years before.
Wow so much work, no wonder so expensive, your daughter is so lucky to have a great dad who does great job with care.
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.
I weatherproof my seams; I get a huge payoff for my effort.
shivering black bell thumbs up. I like the 45-25 minute informative videos better than the longer 1 hour plus as I can truly try to understand, rehear/re watch if I missed a part. Thank you for the tutelage.
Great video! So much detail and your delivery is perfect. A natural born speaker! And love your sense of humour,
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.
Dude your instructional videos are great. Really enjoy watching them.
Glad to hear it! Hope they are helpful. Cheers!
17 years old i hope one day i can build one of these. As well as a 24x36 Vinyl garage for my father . You teach me a lot man thank you :)
We've never had an issue with cut pressure treated wood rotting, but I wish I'd known about the end sealer years ago. Seems like easy and inexpensive insurance.
The limestone screenings are a huge benefit. Wish I had used the stuff years ago.
That’s a golden tip regarding strapping the deck boards, Jeff. Great video as usual. 👍
We just bought our first home (w/some lil projects needed) and I'm so happy I found your videos!
@JennUWinn Pretty woman 😍
Love how he says "that's not going anywhere" to be sure it doesn't go anywhere.
Give it a slap 😂
Great craftmanship. Learned again, strap youre wood. Going to remember and use that one.
Right on! Cheers!
perfect timing, will be building a deck once the snow melts this spring! thanks man
Great Job!!
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.
That's going to be a nice, big deck!
Why thanks I trimmed the bushes too
@@rawniew So, your deck is looking bigger now?
@scottbrowncarpentry they’re talking about your big deck again
@@terencemerritt 😂Scott has a big deck, thats for sure..
Always make sure to seal that big deck after it's done being erected!
Great techniques and so practical 💯
Ya had me at "Nobody has that many friends." 😂
Really appreciate your videos. Im learning alot 🌎
I'm restoring my 1200 sq. ft. cedar deck. It doesn't have box beams, but your video still helps me a lot. Thanks. :o)
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.
All the joists should have blocking in any deck
Always great to see everything built from the ground-up. Thank you!
Do you plan to do any greenhouse builds in the future? Specifically how to put windows in a frame like a greenhouse, or fogged windows of any material.
Man you make Sheetrock look easy and decks look hard. As a US carpenter who really likes you I won’t comment further.
Jeff. You are a legend!
Ride on Jeff ,you are hard worker as always
I always the cut seal in a spray bottle. Makes it super easy to just spray the ends.
Manoman, a sweet deck build on a hot summer day and not a single cold blue mountain to be seen. Sheesh.
closest mountain here is the garbage dump. Cheers!
There's a graph somewhere out there showing a negative correlation of beer input to quality of work output
Thank you so much for all that you do to show us how to be safe and do thing correctly.
I watched a video where a contractor was making a deck and he put (?) Siding tape on the top edge of the joists to help prevent water from seeping into the boards making the decks last many years longer. Are you familiar with that trick? Ahhaha
I wrote this BEFORE the 26th minute where you did the joist tape!!
for best results simply pressure wash the organics out twice a year. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY you mean to say light and periodic maintenance helps to keep things nice Long term!? 😂 I feel that this is a tidbit lost on so many people.
Love all your videos. I’m wondering if you can do something on an above ground pool deck. I have a 30’ round pool, where I’m stumped is where to layout the piers. How far away from each other, from the deck etc. would love to see something to explain how to figure that out. Thank you!
Awesome Tutorial! Thank You!
Great video! Very informative thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where I am you need a permit for everything even those rubermade sheds also I like that you put those blocks in the found a+ for that
I would move. Cheers!
Im at the texture stage in drywall, i need to watch your video on that first. Then I'll start this project.
Nice. Cheers!
My my my sir great info I don’t put the garden cloth under my decks that’s a great idea. Learned a lot great video keep it up 👍🏾
you guys should put this on a playlist

Jeff thank you so much for the way you break the process down and explain everything. Especially explaining the "what ifs" so we are prepared for problems.

This guy is awesome
Thanks!
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.
Thank you Detective @HCWEINGA .. I WAS WONDERING THE SAME. 😅😅
You're bolts are backwards, great leg scrappers 😮
Great info 👍 🎉
Great video
Nice video. Designing a covered deck right now and debating the merits of the inset support posts so the concrete piers clear the skirting, and the simplicity of continuous posts that support both the deck and the roof. I am going double rim joists and a beauty board so I think I can just clear the pier with the continuous post.
Anyway - thank you for all of the tips and tricks!
Great Video. Very informative. Will use this on my deck. All though shouldn't Safety come FIRST, no safety glass???
"Strap your wood", I wanna put that on a t-shirt!!
Nice!
Nice and well understood
Can you also provide the required wood quantity..
Thanks for this. I am building a small 10 * 12 deck. I don’t want to buy a nail framer. So what screws can I use instead of nails in this build ? Same deck screws would work ? 3 in ?
Say what you will about the bolt being strong I'd still rather have direct support. Do like the technique tho. I think i would do 6x6 posts with notches and then bolt like you did if I were to do this
I understand. some times a lack of experience leans us towards a little overkill. no worries.
May I suggest a pass-thru drive socket set for those nuts. Give your arm some break and the nut will thank you. Lol
Love the safety glasses
Cheers!
This may be a dumb question, but at 24:31, you are picture framing the edge of the deck. There is a solid 4x4 maybe between your 2x10s. When/how did you add this?
This video is outstanding and thank you for making this. 2 questions: What size nails (in your nail gun) do you use to fasten the joists to the rim? How do you fasten the Outside joist if you cannot offset those? Thank you!
I am about to start my deck project. I will use 2x6x12 for joist and deck boards. What do you recommend I buy for impact driver and framing nail gun? Thank you.
In New Jersey you'll need permits for any type of deck or pavers. You're only allowed to cover a percentage of your land.
Do u prefer brushless or brush drills and why ?
Thanks! Great video and I will use this technique in my new deck. Have some more sports drinks on me
Cheers! Appreciate it
How are the 4x4s secured in place w/o moving? Does the completion of the deck tighten it all up?
hi, maybe i missed it, but after you put a "temporary" 2x8 at the end of the box spring, what did you eventually use there? i assume a 2x10?? and did you finish it like you did the sides? Also, the footing was 1 foot from the end of the box spring? and then it looked like you have an overhang on the joist part of the deck too? if so ho much? I have a the end of a septic field line 10 feet from my back porch so i like the idea of the overhang but not sure how much is too much.. if that makes sense.. many thanks in advance, i look forward to your reply..
Jeff
Great videos and advice
I learn something new with each video thank you.
I have a question looking for a recommendation for a covered deck
I have extended my 4x 4 posts up to soffit height would you cap it wit toja grid brackets with a sail shade here in nl the winds are very high and lots of snow.
Or would you open truss
I have flipped over my ten-year-old pressure-treated boards and am starting again with the non stained side up and now need to know if I should put a 1/8 gap in between all the boards before I screw them down. I've heard that I should do that to allow for movement. The trouble is I don't want to put a space between because those gaps tend to fill up with all of the tree stuff that's surrounding the deck. Is it necessary to put the 1/8 Gap between the boards? Thank you so much for your advice.
"Nobody has that many friends." Should have seen some of my house parties, lol.
ALWAYS look down the length of the beam. Look for the bow and place it upward to prevent sag or more sag than you need.
Gateshead Gordie lass from England love your you tube hooked Jeff x❤
Quick question. Did you drill pilot holes before screwing the boards to the posts? Or just screwed right in the wood?
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?
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.
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...
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.
Very nice work, why not having the joists attached to the 2x10s? Why do we need another 2x8 frame on top?
Could I do this method overtop of an existing (and poorly made) paver/interlock patio? I am thinking just remove stones from where blocks need to go?
I would love to build a deck like this, but my RM requires a permit for ANY deck and it has to be way overbuild using 3ply beam (even if using 2x10) and 6x6 posts.
Should add a short screen in the beginning showing what you will NEED and recommend/optional.
Nice! Now I definitely know I need to pay a professional to do it
Jeff, many thanks for your video's, they have taught me a lot. I live in the UK, and i want to build a deck 24ft x 10ft. I hope to use the concrete building "feet" i have seen you use in many of your decks,however over the 10ft length i have a 0 to 11 inch slope. The 0 end of the frame will be almost level with the ground. Is it ok still to use the concrete "feet"? Many thanks and keep giving us the tuition !!
sure thing. Watch this video to see how to set one end of your deck flush with the ground and still on a concrete pier. Cheers! czcams.com/video/H596PLvg2AY/video.html
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY many thanks, big help.
Darn wish;. Knew this before built mine I just ran the 3 x 10. Through the block
Hello thank you for all your time and effort you put into your video's. I've been watching all your video's on deck building. I'm in the planning stages of a 31X 16 foot deck with aheight of 1.5 feet The ground is level with no organic materail or grass. I will be using concrete deck block for my load bearing posts. How many deck blocks do I need per square foot. I'm thinking a block every 4 feet would this suffice?
Hi! Do you know anywhere to get a simple deck template for a 10.5 x 14 foot deck? what are some good sources?
I'm trying to figure out which structural bolts (carriage bolts?) you used for your box beams. Are they everbilt 10 inches length half inch diameter?
Can i grade the underneath of the deck so that water runs away from my house? Right now where i want a deck, the ground leans towards my house.
If you need to do another deck in Ottawa in a new build neighbourhood for an instructional video, I'm happy to offer up my backyard.
Could this style box beam base be used as a base for a shed to sit on?
what about winter and freeze level. are blocks still ok?
Hey can you guys show how to do kerf jamb doors?
13:59 I'll be using this box beam method for my next deck. I have a 24' span. You mentioned that for 5' centers one could use 2x6 joists. If I break up my 24' span into 2 consecutive 12' spans (securing the 2 spans with scrap 2x inside the box frame), could I get away with using 2x8 box beams (instead of the 2x10 you're using)?
Your referring to a continuous span. One length of timber spanning 24' like you said with a post at 12' is a continuous span at 12' continuous span is also stronger than single span. I really suggest you check your regulation and span tables for what the minimum requirements are for thickness and span distances with those thickness of timber. Safest bet.
Thought you took a nail to the gut at 23:16 🤣
This has inspired me to reno my deck. I really like the idea of using a pneumatic nailer but have no idea what size conpressor or nailer i need. Any advice?
If you are just using a nailer, then an 8 or 10 gallon is fine. If you plan on using other pneumatic tools like a sander you will either need a larger compressor, or to tie a couple of compressors together.
Do I have to dig hole and put blocks on post? Or can I set them on the ground ?
What are the decking codes in Ontario or Ottawa? When should you get a permit?
Would you be worried about the deck shifting during the winter climates?! And what are the methods to adjust the level of that were to happen?!
Great work! How do I find the right person to build my deck? Eye protection!
I may have missed it, but what grade bolts are you using on the supports?
