- In this episode of Cabin in the Woods, we share installing Timbertech/Azek composite T&G porch board decking. This is a PVC deck board made to resemble the old style narrow tongue and groove deck board. It is much lighter weight compared to other composite deck boards and has a very durable and gorgeous finish. For the most part it cut and installed exactly like a traditional wood deck, but with no finishes to apply and a virtually maintenance free life.
The cortex plugs are absolutely awesome and once installed, make it almost impossible to find where the fasteners were installed in the composite decking.

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
You know your boss is a friend when he does 75% of the work and 90% of the thinking. I think Greg's greatest asset is that he shows up every day - that's invaluable! Especially these days. He also has amazing hair, the build of a ripped girl scout, and a good attitude...gotta love that kid.
The plugs in the trim board was like one of those satisfying videos, I think I could’ve watched that for 3-4 minutes
Me dreading to go to work tomorrow, also me watching a video of what I’ll be doing lol
Love how you guys always have a clean job site and always use the best tools for the job. Keep up the good work.
"I just don't have experience on my knees like you Greg" 🤣🤣 you guys are great!
ROASTED. 🔥 Kyle was ready. 😂
Gottem!!
Whole lotta screwin'
I really appreciate that you guys show the problems and how you work through them. Most folks show one or two runs than fast forward to the end. The way you guys worked through the end of the porch was super helpful.
Thanks.
I really appreciate your attention to detail!
Can definitely tell Kyle and Greg are like Brothers. Nice to be able to joke, poke, make “fun of” one another AND still do great work! All while knowing that’s you both have each other’s backs, and no hard feelings.....TRUE FRIENDS, hard to come by; & when find them, no matter what happens, will be there if need.
Love the banter from you two🤣
It's a shame this level of craftsmanship is rare. RR Buildings and Essential Craftsman are what anyone in construction should strive to be like.
Kyle I see other building channels talking about you and your quality of what you do. They have said you are the best. Great job Kyle.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This whole video made my knees hurt just from watching you kneel so much. Nice job!
"I actually don't know if it helps at all!" 😂 I would trust your hunch over most people's facts!
The details y’all put into your work is incredible. It even carries into your matching bags and pants! Love it.
As a "framer/carpenter " your attention to detail, is amazing..
The best part of construction is looking at a completed project especially when it looks really nice. I miss that part since retiring.
Of all the videos I watched from you, here at 5:09 it's the first time I said to myself " oh it's not safe the way he did this cut"!
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR VIDEO'S. THANKS A MILLION
as a DIY guy I love the details and honestly in pointing out where the little bits of extra detail make all the difference in the finished project
Everything you guys do is always top quality, superb workmanship absolutely love it.👍👍👍👍👍
You guys do amazing work! Love the attention to detail.
that will be 1 awesome deer stand
The brotherly trash talk between you two it very entertaining to watch. Everytime Greg wears shorts I keep expecting you to hand him a rolled up piece of paper to tie around his pigeon legs.
That decking is a great looking product. That bit a plug system is really nice. Good looking work.
damn , reminds me for good old times when I was building terraces and wooden floors...nice to watch a pro at his work and that u know what u are working. glad to show this video with us ....thanks for that. hope we ca work soon here in europe when the lock down is over.
good video brotha. Tell your co-worker that knee pads are preventive. Dont wait to be old with your knees all messed up to start wearing them. stay safe out there!
I think that was the first dirty comment I’ve heard you say ever to Graig. Lol. It was meant with no harm, great video Kyle
Hahaha, "I just dont have experience on my knees like you Graig" had me rolling
Love that decking.
Great job, and you go the extra mile for quality. Nice
Master of your craft! Love the videos and channel mate.
Attention to detail,great work
Keep a small block of bees wax.
Scrape the threads once on opposite sides of the screw.
Then sink the screw.
Like butter!
good craftsmanship as always
Another great job Kyle, keep up the great video's.
When you get out of work to watch work
Looks Beautiful guys !!
Wonderful job!!!
Attention to detail love it
Awesome job guys!! Just a tip: When running the edge board on a deck, try and hide any seams behind a post if you can. It always looks much cleaner and I know you like that! Great video and attention to details as usual
Looks very nice!! 👍😁
Love that Azek. Awsome porch flooring and decking products. Just installed some of that same color for a client this year. Looks good guys.
It’s a great product
I freakin love y’all’s videos man!!
cant wait till its finished and you give us a tour ..
Een prachtig kerstfeest 🎄🎄 Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼👋🏼
It looks solid and strong.
Great build 👍
Looks Really Really Good bro nice job!
Nice job. Of coarse it’s a nice job. Thanks.
Looks awesome
To add to the previous comment. I would also use a 1/4 round in a a small router to the edges of the (in the field borads) to compliment to round over on the picture frame. Other then that always looks great guys.
@17:00 Greg for the win! ....finally 🤣😂
Throw a piece of left over foam board styrofoam insulation in the truck for a knee pad. Always handy.
Great work
A little masterpiece.
Молодцы парни я сам из россии все время смотрю ваши ролики и не перестаю наслаждаться увиденным
еще раз респект.
I'm predicting 500K subscribers by the end of the year.
They're 3k away with more than half a month to get there, i think so too!
I'm predicting that tomorrow morning, the sun will come up.
501K by 12/21/2020
Hi Kyle and Greg!!
Look up Camo deck clips, they're a little pricey but for tongue and groove decking they make it go 1000x times faster. You can pre fab the whole deck and come back and screw it down. Me and two other guys, 1 on each end and one in the middle did a 20x16 deck in 1 1/2 hours.
Kyle , it’s fine job!!
thanks
Good job 👍
Cordless jigsaw cuts composite very well when cutting around posts. A lot quieter and square.
Kyle.. I was at work. Just thinkin about the deck. 20 20 hindsight.. maybe next time make the cut for the picture frame behind the last post on the left.. so u have a full piece left to look at finishing it off instead of 2 pieces.. might cost another board. But priceless to look at a smooth piece. Thanks
Instead of solid blocking , run perpendicular blocking for the picture frame it will allow for drainage and water won’t pool up in between deck boards , helps in the freeze season
That deck looks good but it’ll be crazy hot when the sun is shining on it
Yeah.. neighbour put in a back deck with that stuff in SW Ontario, Canada, and it's hot enough in the summer that his grandkids can't walk barefoot on it when it's had direct sun on it. Looks absolutely amazing, but crazy hot.
Nice work you doit
" I just dont have experience on my knees like you Greg" 😂😂😂😂
Tip: On the last board with flooring you can cut the bottom part of tongue off, drop in and face nail.
Hello from Romania 😜
Kyle-- Jim here from “Kings Table Custom Carpentry! I was listening to the Modern Craftsman Podcast while working! Now almost to a tee I hear from this guys many who are not as successful as you state “well I just could not run the company and wear a tool belt”? I am a little confused? I am growing however I can not see myself not doing what I love in exchange for running around checking work, going over bills constantly, and making deals signing contracts!
Am I just nuts?
Elegant!
for future decks and since the 6x6 posts are oversized for the load, put a 1/2" deep dadoo above the joist the thickness of the flooring and you will have a place to kill the end of your decking and to allow for any contraction/expansion
and sorry, meant to compliment you on a awesome looking deck
@@hpw59 its a great idea thank you
I had to Google Dado joints and this is a great tip.
@@RRBuildings I believe I read that in "Tips and Techniques" from Fine HomeBuilding Mag. years ago
Good afternoon from St John Parish, Louisiana 13 Dec 20.
Greg’s pro knee action!!! Haha 😂
I just started a woodworking business and them GRK screws are expensive and run out fast lol but they are the best and worth the price
Haha. Ya Kyle definitely set Greg up for that fall.
thanks big dog!
Greg loves that triple hammer 👌
Amazing video, I really enjoy watching and learning. I can't wait till I can start building full time.
What are your go to speed squares and roofing squares? I just watch the hammer video. I wonder do you have stories of your squares that you use?
Kyle the only suggestion I would make to both you and Greg would be to get some really good knee pads and wear them. I wish I had.
I know you didn't do electrical but the romex under the decking to the lights below makes me nervous. Unless it outdoor (UF) the white romex is not made for wet locations (jacket is not waterproof nor is the wire insulation). It will be fine for some years but would hate to see corrosion cause a fire and ruin your excellent work. The can light junction boxes also do not seem weather tight based on the knockouts somewhat visible in the video. It seems the are planning on water getting in otherwise they would not have slopped the ceiling below. The cans lights and wiring work in a soffit for 50 years, but not under a deck like this. I once worked on a ceiling fan (removal) on a "covered deck" that had water running out of it because of something like this. Love your attention to detail and all the excellent content you provide!
I wish at the beginning of a project you would show the plans, a rendering, or an elevation of what it would look like
I can't believe how wobbly that deck was, I bet the railing will tie it all in...
What?
@@joshgastley175 Lol. It was kind of a joke on the vids at the time. He had explained it was the lift wobbling, not the building.
I knew that already because I have worked in those lifts a lot and know they are wobbly.
So just a running joke for a few vids.
The only thing I would change is I would’ve had that seam land on a post to make that outer board appear seemless.
Any concerns with water that gets between the deck floor and the ceiling metal below it? Looks super nice and of course your attention to detail makes it pop even more. Love how you were able to get that last board figured out. Nice work as always.
My concern is insects and critters getting into the cavity between steel ceiling and deck.
Was cutting off the bottom part of the groove to allow the piece to fall in place, an option with this material?
Hey Kyle, On the picture framing.. I was wonder why you choose to make the seam in an open area instead of behind one of the post. Cosmetically it would have looked better I assume!
I sure there is a reason I was just curious
Love your content! Couple questions, why not have some scrap sheeting to stand on? Also. Do you ever put in the border band first?
10:06 is hilarious.
Best look is double perimeter with miters
Хорошая работа.
Kyle your son looks like a lil kid in his flannel shirt ...lol
I hope we visit this project in two years so we can see what a total waste of time that roll flashing was.
Greg needs to get more leg days in
I sell that product. It’s as good as it gets. Enjoyed the video.
Do You reckon that being on the south side, the heat from the sun will expand that deck board too much and cause warpage? It's an absolute beautiful deck though... Great job as always Kyle and Gregg
Is that the lufkin glow in the dark tape you are using? I just bought one around thanksgiving and I have been working on a dark property with no electric and I absolutely love that tape.
Hi Kyle love your channel you guys do great work! Wondering about your black/florescent tape measure? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you
I see both of you wear Cincinnati 6’’ boots. Can you spare a word or two reviewing if you like them, would you recommend them etc? Much appreciated. 📐👽🔨
I use the white grk to install kitchens
Looks great! Just curious - did you use the color “coastline” for the tng boards and “dark hickory” for the pictured frame board or did you use “dark hickory” for the tng boards and something else for the picture framed board?
