- Franky & I rebuild an Old dock to look like new in 3 hours start to finish. Step by step we show you our shortcuts to speed up the process. We also scrap the wood which was giving us splinters and go with a composite decking instead.
Franky is a beast! If we all had a buddy or a crew member as hard of a worker as that guy, the world would be a better place
This really changes my mind on battery chop saws.
Dock looks sweet and great idea not screwing them down.
Roll-top dock deck: link straight runs together, up to a maximum weight, for installation and removal by/as 'bales' i.e. convert straight runs of, say, 18 boards into a wheel/roller; push (or windlass) the bale to the dock, and its destination on the frame, flip it around, and unroll it into place… at season's end, roll up sections from the far end of the deck, wheel each to storage, and flip it around…
@@michaelthibault7930, That sounds even better !
Francis is so clever.Nice product.
What a lovely place to escape from it all, great job👍
Dude awesome video man! Always love you guys work!
I have built docks before...
Rig up some sort of upside down “L” bracket and place on the outside edge of dock
to hold boards down. With a quick release to remove if needed.
Gonna say same thing , then never have to move them..
Yup, I was going to suggest that. Some aluminum angel iron running the length of each section overlapping the ends so they don't float away. It would only need 2 bolts per piece.
I was thinking a V tongue and groove on all of them also, as long as there is no expansion and contraction with this product.
Really have been enjoying your videos lately. Thanks
Beautiful spot.
We used those boards on my dads deck 10 years ago and they still look good and are strong as ever
Very nice⚓
Thanks 😊
Night and day looks grate
What we do with our docks is we screw strapping underneath to make panels of decking so they're heavier as one unit and don't blow away. We also screw clips that hold against the frame and prevent the panels from lifting. So they can go underwater and sit there, fine as can be and won't float away. I have to check if I remember correctly, but I'm sure that decking doesn't float.
It floats
Looks good from across the lake. -Mike from across the lake.
Thanks Mike from across the lake!
Use nylon straps to secure the loose boards in place. Anchor them to the bolted boards. If/when you get flooded, you might not loose them. Just an idea, outside of the box.
Eventually one of those boards will get kicked up and someone will step on it and fall through. Thanks for the video.
If it can go wrong, it will.
It’s trex and made from plastic this is actually wrong!
Great job!
Thanks!
I think Frankie needs his own spin off called “crap I put up with around here” lol
Stapling four or five boards or even a dozen to weatherproof straps would allow them to be rolled up using a roll support. This way you are rolling the boards along not carrying them. Like a turf roller.
My buddy's dock is like that, 5-6 boards with a strap screwed to the bottom. Just roll the sections up at the end of the year.
I think you will find these boards get hot under foot if you walk on it barefoot in summer.
Not sure if it is anything like mondo board. Interested in this cool touch technology
Put a 1/2x1 hunk of the board all the way around the perimeter and screw those down.
Man he's got some faith in those boards not to fly away on a windy day. Or for them to warp.
Ive used them on other projects- twice as heavy as wood- meaning they won't budge and they just don't warp. I have them on my own deck & after 3 years no problems
Is the wood very expensive?
make some edge boads and screw those from top to hold the boards down..easy to just remove the edge to change some boards :)
Nice dock.
Thanks!
Keep that dock there but make a spectacular one next to it, the spectacular Dock Electric Lights/Outlets Freshwater from the house. New footings and peddlers/Piles not sure which ones right. Boat slip a roof if you want to go crazy? The dock twice as long & wide handrails were appropriate. Next to it a large sign: Dirty Monkeys made my dock(s) + Your business telephone number. Every publicly viewable project is an opportunity to advertise.
Can u make a video on what u need to know before buying a skidsteer or excavator
you better have flipped that 4" board around so the cut end is on the outside and the finish edge meets the finish edge of the second board.
came here for this comment :D. always thought it bad practice to have cuts facing towards the work rather than the edge where possible.
looks like Moisture Shield Vantage. (From Moisture Shield) Layout and install joists at either 16” (40 cm) on-center (OC) when decking will be installed perpendicular to the joists, or 12” (30 cm) (OC) when deck boards will be installed diagonally or at an angle to the joists. For me 12" O.C. only. could not hear Frank say what size they were cut at. Looks bigger then 16 O.C. on the dock. That bench and the dock boards are going to sag !
So, no need to paint/seal the material after you make a cut?
Thx for the vid, nice to see you & Frankie doing a project👍🏻
Seems like Stanley and frankie are a couple of old school get er done type of guys amen to that boys
You don't need to do anything to them they are a somewhat type of plastic
Nope , no sealing, staining, anything.
Never heard of that cool touch stuff, gonna hafta check that out.
Me either! I know the knock on most composite decking is that it gets way too hot!
Dick Kennedy I was thinking it was a terrible idea using it for a dock that will be in direct sun and probably end up with barefoot kids on it.
Silly me.
Perhaps you should pay attention during the video about the Cooldeck feature, cuts down on random clueless statements.
Apparently not!
Dennis Olsen random and clueless is better than random and rudeness.
Prick.
Need to upgrade that small boat for a ski boat!
Only a little over 5 minutes in, and may not be mentioned yet, but battery life?
For the next one, or for the viewers who will also do this sort of work, a couple of suggestions -
Position the drop saw at the actual site, so the cut material can be stracked right by the place it will be used, reducing handling*.
Use a vertical stop on the end stop so the 'wood' can be pushed against it to ensure a straight cut - if you're going to do a LOT I'd suggest using tapered guides to lift the material to the same height as the drop-saw base, and direct the end to the correct horizontal position square to the blade - that way the material can be fed in more easily and rapidly as less care in positioning is required.
Might just be me, but the 'sawdust' would annoy me, especially is is is unlikely to bio-degrade into the soil, and a simple shute could divert it into a box for disposal - both could be cardboard.
Back to handling, if it is impractacal to have it at the work place, having the JEEP positioned so the cut boards could be slipped straight into it would have saved a fair bit of time, and back-ache from picking it up - on that, a pair of tressles may have been a good intermediate step.

@@burkhardt7372 Cool response, dude, really added some useful content to the comment thread. 🤣
Good points- we didn't think of that while we were putting together the plan
If those boards are buoyant, they'll float away in the next flood.
But...so would have the wood panels that were down before, right?
Frankie needs his own tool review and life lessons videos
Would you end up losing all the boards if it flooded through there? As they aren’t all screwed down, they’ll just float away.
They would float away- if the eater raises I have to remove them
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek Thanks for the reply :) Love your Videos, really helps me with my landscaping business!
We just did my grandparents dock over with treck deck basically the same stuff different name. And we have them in panels and they are so heavy to move every year. The stuff also gets extremely hot it kills your feet to you gotta run down
Being from TX this need to pull up the boards is something I've never seen or heard of. Why do they have to be removed for part of the year?
Gotta take the dock out when the pond/lake freezes
Very cool video
I’m assuming that lake freezes solid hence you don’t have a floating dock. Composite materials have come a long ways we had sales people showing us plastic wood 20 plus years ago it was so heavy we were in marine construction many decades.
You should do a video with Wilton tools
I’m pretty sure I have this same stuff or similar product on my front porch, and it sucks. It’s gets pretty warm in the summer sun, and flex’s and breaks fairly easy.
Nice Jeep !
Won't this just float away when water level raises?
No bear were injured during the making of this video right?
I think going with individual boards was a good idea. Dock looks great. Franky da man. What kind of metal is that?
The boards are composite by moisture shiled. the deck frame is aluminmum
@@Dirtmonkey Thanks!
Looks great , gets terribly hot in the sun, no thanks.
The higher density the material , the higher the heat absorption.
that hot, huh? Like painful?
While that may be a trend, its actually the higher emissivity makes it hotter. They can engineer around that.
@@offshorebear Emissivity is how well the material gets rid of heat by radiation - the opposite of what you're thinking.
Do you mean the amount of thermal energy the material can contain per mass/degree, or do you mean how much solar radiation it absorbs from the Sun? Either way, you're mistaken - check them out. Hints, water and black body.
@@gordowg1wg145 It is both how well it absorbs and emits heat via radiation heat transfer. If it absorbs less radiation from nearby bodies or the sun, it will get less hot. You can further "cool it off" by increasing heat transfer via conduction. It just costs money.
Seems like the boards would be able to move when you walk on it and possibly pinch a toe or skin.
You should have used a router to round over the edges on the cuts you made. Those will cut a toe open when someone is running up the dock. Also I agree with others the boards need to be secured. Kids will run up and down it and the boards will flex and bounce off. Plus in a storm they will float down river like boats and it will b harder to collect them.
Could a heavy wind blow them off? worth considering..
Those boards are a lot more dense than wood. It would take something like a tornado to blow those away considering the way they are held in on all sides but the top.
To heavy for the wind.
Will they warp in the sun?
Where can i get one if those frankys???
Probably would have worked better if you put the saw on the other side of the lumber pile
Wouldnt use regular wood tho would use treated wood and thats fairly heavy itself
He used plastic, did you watch the video?
How long did the 60v’s last during the whole process of cutting?
It lost one bar- It was still on almost full charge after all 110 cuts were made.
I thought that was all weather decking material. Why are you having to seasonally remove it ? People in heavy winter areas don't remove their decks, just curious. **edit** read another reply, that's a flood area eh ?
Good question! We pull in our docks at the end of the year so Ice doesn't smash them to bits.
You mean cut once and I love my dewalt duel Mitre flex volt saw
So next time it floods, do all the boards float off?
all you had to do was lay them upside down then screw the boards to them and flip them. them there in sections and wont come up on accident.be safe
I need Frankie to be my neighbor. Sorry Stan!
You should review a spartan rt pro lawn mower I just got one and it is really nice
Stan you got tool everywhere how do you find things.
Wont they float away in a flood?
must be nice to have cheap composite decking, best price I see up here is 53 bucks for a 16 footer and it'll burn you feet off in the sun
I don't get it. Everyone says they'll burn their feet and ours never does...
@@augustreil it depends on the brand and the color the first stuff out was a real dark brown and just absorbed the heat
@@norm7298, I could see how that would make a big difference.
Man i read the thumbnail with the picture and i thought u meant u were gonna talk about chopping ur fingers off with a chop saw...”quick and painless”😂
so whats holding the decking down?
Gravity. Until buoyancy takes over.
What's the purpose of not screwing all the bosses in place and leaving them there year round?
Taking them apart is easier and I'm guessing he is in a freeze zone ?
In a freeze zone- The dock has to come in every fall
Explain to me the purpose of the doc do you have a boat jet skis canoes only caught floating platforms that you basically go out and decent float fishing I had never seen you go out on the water and do anything
How many batteries did you use
None- The dewalt barely lost one bar
I’m surprised. Thanks for answering my question.
Stainless steel bolts. No?
I want to know about that little pontoon boat pulled up on shore??

@@augustreil , thank you.
Got sick of taking the aluminum dock system out every year, went all in and put a floater in. leave it in all winter, just disconnect it from its shoreline deck connection, and secure it to shore for the winter.
why are docks taken out for the winter?
@@ChristisKing7749 The type of dock in Stanley's video uses pipe to support the frame, water freezing expands, easy way to destroy the pipe. Also, when the ice melts in the spring, it tends to melt from the shoreline out - so if the ice is blown across the lake, its a many thousand ton battering ram that will absolutely crush it or rip it apart.
@@davidforrest399 from what I understand they just remove the decking? Arent the pipes permanent? It doesnt seem to be a floating dock. I know nothing about docks. I'm just going off what I see, and a basic understanding of mechanics.
@@ChristisKing7749 the decking is removed to make the aluminum frame light enough to lift out
Is this the same as trex?
Better in my opinion- These can be used underwater
Stan, you look like you are thinning out. Everything alright?
Frank should be using a push stick
stfu
@@burkhardt7372, Easy there big assman...easy ! Jk, lol
Why do you have to remove the wood in the winter?
becuase the water rises after all the ice melts and the dock and board can float away becuase they float!
@@ravenleatherdesign7470 ahh, why not build the dock a little higher? Mg buddies dock is either even with the lake or up to 8 feet above the water if its a drought.
Save The Manual screw em down??? With our floating dock that’s how I did it last year... 3 screws on each side of the boards and I used either 3 or 3.5in screws I dont remember
@@billysmith5977 wood floats and it will lift the dock of the pipes if its screwed down
@@DIGGER19860 becuase it will be harder to board and get off a boat
23.5 on center? Those are going to warp/sag really bad.
There is a center cross support
The boards are cut to just shy of 47" making it 23.5 on center with that center beam. With composite decking they usually want 12" on center, max 16. You are way over the limit. They will sag.
I used the same stuff on my floating dock in KY. It’s way too flexible for me to go even a 16” span. I made mine 12”OC. It’s solid as rock.
Anyone want to give a review on the flex volt chop saw? In the market now for one.
You're gonna regret using this stuff...we did a deck and it's WAYYYY too hot on the feet.
Highest denisty higher heat
That's weird, we have the same stuff, but in a grey color and it's not hot at all ?
We used the cool shield technology.
@@augustreil got the same stuff....but that California heat even being only a couple miles from the beach is brutal
@@abepeterson, I believe you, California can be like Africa sometimes right ? lol !
What size miter saw is that?
What is the name of the song while the cuts are being made?
Yay number 35 on comments lol
Just tie a rope to the last one so you can pull the rest to you
OK my eat why do you need a doc I've never seen a boat out there are you having a boat so why did you rebuild it if you don't even use it
I can think of a couple reasons.
#1 fish off it.
#2 Just sit out there at nite with wife.
#3 canoe or a small boat for fishing if the shore line isn't deep it can be a pain launching a vessel without getting wet ( if shore line isn't deep)
#4 make a CZcams video about building a deck quickly and in return get income from us watching it.lol
#5 if you have water access in your yard then having a dock can increase property value. Just like a kitchen or bathroom you put $3,000 into it it'll add $8,000 in resale value.
@@rebel9838, Agree 100% !!
Misleading. Redecking is not same as rebuilding
You really think that's a good name to use with all the stuff going right now?....
