Subd for your way of making content 👌👍
Again. Thank you 🙏

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Love that and exactly what I some for
Glad it helped and thanks

[@budchin1]

Very well-constructed. I learned a lot from watching your video.

[@markolsen7438]

I always use vinyl gutter upside down as the top cap. It protects the wood, looks better and will never rot. It will in most cases snap right on a 2x4 without the use of any screws

[@shawnwilt7196]

I will be making a spacer like you made for my project. Thanks.

[@how-toswithaaron16]

You’re welcome; have fun!

[@Stuffandthingstoknow]

Nice work!

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Thanks!

Great video!!! How tall are your handrails ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

The top is at 36”

[@jadedparadise19]

Nice video. I like the blocking under the deck.
How far apart can/should the posts be?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Usually between 6 and 8 feet max

[@NeverOctober_]

I have a question for you on your spindles. Did you cut those 45°? On the bottom

[@how-toswithaaron16]

I bought them that way and cut the other end to the length I wanted

[@vernonstroble948]

Do you use all treated lumber?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Yes, all treated
Untreated would only last around a year

[@adrielmontiel1887]

The spindles do you cut them with a bevel ? Or you just cut it with a 45 degree ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Yep a 45 degree cut does good
You could less like 35 if you like how it looks but 45 is the norm

[@adrielmontiel1887]

@@how-toswithaaron16 45 degree cut ? No bevel on the saw right ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Right. I usually miter
You can usually find them with the angle already cut and then just cut to length

[@TimmyJacobs-jl6mo]

Is that a 5 inch deck board on top?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Yes
You could use a 2x4 but I like a deck board as a better place to set a drink, and it covers a little more

[@Joesmith-fu4ps]

Handrail or guardrail ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Either sounds right to me, perhaps you could say guard rail since it’s not going downstairs

[@angelreyesespinoza5686]

Que medida son esos barrotes

[@how-toswithaaron16]

1 1/2”
Los llamo 2” deck spindle
Perro esta 1 1/2”

[@angelreyesespinoza5686]

@@how-toswithaaron16 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 ? Gracias 🙏

[@Vinterfrid]

Interesting, but you're moving your camera around way too fast - I get really dizzy trying to follow. Half the speed would be accurate. Thanks.

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Gotcha, thanks!

[@dropndeal]

You can adjust your own playback speed to whatever is “accurate”….

[@leonl7470]

Waiting on the results

[@maryperz-jones4528]

Good information. but I got dizzy with the camera moving everywhere...you need a tripod...

[@dropndeal]

Geez…maybe you need a Meclizine.

[@maryperz-jones4528]
