- We are framing two decks on this project and I will walk you through some of the best tips I have for efficiently building a deck. We only had one day to get both decks framed, but we were able to get it done!

And I love how you make copies of all the plans. And give it to all the guys so they all know exactly what's going on all the time. You would be surprised on how many crew leaders expect you to know the plan. Even though it changes every day when you do concrete like me. And if you're not the lead guy or the guy running the show
Stephen Russell definitely! Planning like this has helped so so much!
Just started following you...I'm really digging these videos. Great work man 💪
Just started watching your videos, I drive a truck for a living but my dream job would be creating beautiful decks and patios keep up the good work.
I really appreciate that!!
Thanks for your videos, I have been learning a lot!!👍👍👍
your videos are very informative, the work professional, and the presentation is enjoyably captivating, thx,
Cool vids guys, all in good fun, cool decking
Love these more informative videos!
Kevin Fuentes thanks a lot!! I’ll try to do more in depth explanations in coming videos!
Awesome work and vid! Glad I found your channel and happily subscribing.
Woww good job bro .. love to see your amazing skill work with your crew .. well done bro .. i'm excited see to your upcoming video .. 👍👍💪💪💪💪 😎
Amazing video! That planning and giving each person a copy is so brilliant! Well done dude
Thank you my friend! I’m not naturally the most organized so this has helped me sooo much
@@THEpremieroutdoor well haha heres the thing about that there organizing....im just figuring it out! Would love to do a collab with you one day incorporating a waterfeature! Cant wait for the next vid!
Wow, now this is how you get a job done accurately and expediently. SO done working for unorganized people where I can never get a straight answer on the job timeline and am always waiting for someone to grab materials we needed but didn't have the foresight to grab. Can't wait to start running my own jobs, watching your vids for tips tricks and it's also just awesome seeing the sheer efficiency, professionalism and quality work. Best video of yours to date btw, in my humble opinion. 1 Cor 15:58
Jack o'Lantern trust me I’ve been there!! I’m not naturally organized at all, so this helps me more than anyone else. I’m really glad you dig the video and I’ll probably do some more of these in depth type of videos this year!
Very nice plan you have laid out , smart very smart !
Thanks a lot!
Nice job guys! I really like how you have everything planned out and in order. You seem like a cool guy to work for!
I appreciate that my friend, we try to keep it low key and fun on site
Great video 👍
Yeah Boyee!! 10+ min. video & commercials. YT millions here we come!! Great video as always Bud. This is a MASSIVE project. Hoping all is well, keep Reppin Jersey & Dirty Jersey out!!
Slowly getting longer and longer bro!
Great video! Have learned a lot by following your vids. Quick question:
Which components do you nail vs. screw? I am under the impression its good practice to use 10d-16d nails to join components that need high shear strength (joist hangers, nailing through the rim joists into the ends of joists, etc.) and screw in components that don't need high shear strength (deck boards, affixing beams on top of notched posts or anchors). What items do you generally nail/screw together and what type do you use for each?
IMPRESSED!
I appreciate that my friend!
I am in the process of planning a 12‘ x 12‘ deck on the back of my house. Unfortunately I have a stone façade that gives me a very irregular surface. What is your recommendation on attaching the ledger board. Or should I just run a beam a couple of feet off of the house and let the deck cantilever?
I've had my flexvolt circular for around 3 years and one 6 amp hour battery will last almost all day unless I'm cutting a bunch of stringers or rips. Best saw in the world
Title, Time, Tags (which by the way are ranking #3,#4 and #6 according to vidIQ so great job) Thumbnail, and most of all content! Im predicting most successful video to date after 48hours!
Chapman I took your advice and I’m trying to shoot for longer videos! Hopefully it does the trick for more view time and subs!!
Love your content. I'm building a similar deck on piers with preset hardware. Im running into an issue with diffetence in material thicknes in our 3 1/2" X 9 1/2" beams. How do you efficiently solve this problem with your beams? Thank you.
Pat for the win!👏
Love the work you put into the plan. Do you have any videos that go into more detail about how you plan out a project? I’d love more insight because I’m thinking about tackling a deck build for my new house.
Thank you! I’ll go into more depth on the planning in a video soon!
Like your video, good tips. Planing a floating deck and I am very interested in the planing details video. Is out yet ? Hail from Guatemala.
I love this, lol. You should give your guy a teco nail gun, so he spends less time nailing hangers, and more time learning other things, lol. Great video!

If i had a nickel for every pencil fumble...
Nice informative vid by the way.
Eric Frederick lol me too, glad I could capture it happening to scooter haha
Little Flashback Friday ...
Way back!! Ants first project
Great video! Question how come you all did not add black tape over the beams to keep water from sitting on top. Wouldn’t it rot over time?
So here goes a good question just had my deck rebuilt and the company used screws for all of the joist hangers instead of nails. Is that a preference maybe? I would think that the screws would be more secure than using nails? I mean my inspector passed off on it so it can't be wrong.
Just for a gag you should visit Cam Hayes "Keep Hammering" website and put Pat a hat!

What part of the state you’re I’m trying to make my patio better build a two decks and a pérgola but I can really find someone has good has your team.. I hope I can hear from you. Good job nice projects keep it up bro..
If you want a huge Time Saver while you are cutting your blocking. Stack the two by twelves on top of one another then you would only have to mark 2 by 12. and your saw blade would cut deep enough to to Mark the one underneath it. And so on. So you would only have to mark 1/2 by 12 for technically is Mini 2 by 12 as you had if you did it right which would me and you wouldn't need to whip out your tape measure and square and pencil 15-20 times you would take it out one time and start cutting
Stephen Russell I like that idea! Never seen that before
Gang cutting, just be mindful of potential waste with blocking. We usually try to get our blocking from our joist cut offs. Get a nice big stack of cut offs and have one guy gang cut them. Looked like you guys only had 5 or 6 inches here though. At the very least teach pat to mark all of the cuts at once, adding the blade each time 😁
Wow I don't know any contractor that plans to the extent you do, very impressive. I'm surprised you bother with the 10d nails on the joist connectors vs. the strong tie structural screws. I find them quite the time saver.
They definitely are, we’ve since switched to a joist hanger gun which is amazing
Why don't you have a slide compound saw nestled in a stand with an infeed 2x12x10 and outfeed 2x12x10 (or 12)? Can do almost all of your cutting on it other than your string line end cut. Big bonus is the ability to screw blocks down to it anywhere as a stop. Can batch cut blocking out 6x faster.
I agree, taking the time to set up a nice saw table is well worth it. We should do it more often than we do
Hello Brother nice see in your channel
Thank you!
quesion about inspection: I have noticed from several youtube videos about building, that you have to have an inspector out to approve your work. How often or for which type of work does an inspector need to approve? Here in Denmark there is no such requirements, you don't need to have your work inspected, unless it's plumbing or electrical.
In the states - decks specifically are footing inspections, framing inspections and final inspections. Usually framing and final are done at the same time if you know what your doing ;p
Footing inspections are based on proper size and depth. Everything is based upon the international building code, though local govt also can require higher standards.
All of the plans are submitted and approved to obtain the permits to build here as well.
Only thing I would add to this is if the deck is MAD low to the ground we have left a deck board out so they can see hangars and bolts, most inspectors know us so it's all good but sometimes new blood likes that. Remember** most inspectors are failed framers 😂🤣
How much would you charge to plan a deck for me? Did a deck design and material list on the Menards computer. But just wondering how you would plan it.
Bro try wrapping your cords and strings in a figure 8 pattern. It keeps the cords from getting all yuk and the straight lines from getting knocked and all twisted up
Great work! Is Josh or anybody else allowed to wear eye protection?
I am surprised you aren't using PT lumber for the frames of these decks. Must not get much rain, like we do in W. Oregon?
It’s all pressure treated but we use treated pine in our area whereas you use treated hemlock
I notice the grade is higher where the deck is built. Was that on purpose? Such a high grade makes the deck inaccessible underneath.Have you ever had problems building a deck that is inaccessible underneath? I am a termite inspector in California and we are required to note that on our reports. Beautiful job on the deck.
How and where can I learn to build decks like this?
You said to put flashing tape on any two or more boards and then you don't put it on your triple joists?
I think you’re talking about the beams, taping them definitely isn’t a bad idea at all, but any flat blocking underneath the deck boards will be more likely to have water sit than on the beam. Plus in an area that people are walking even a tiny bit of give from softening of the blocking will be noticeable
Does a ledger board have to run the entire length of the deck? I’m expanding my deck and the current ledger board is nicely sided around.
'huge time saver' but I'm marking and cutting each block with a skilsaw when there is a perfectly good dropsaw in the background lol
And a cordless skill saw, not even an electric one. Smh.
I know to some it is not necessary ,but before and joist went down, I would have raked all under and smoothed out the dirt under the deck. Much better looking job. JS
Right on
How about @1:39 the nail gun going off exactly as he’s tapping with his impact driver 😂
You need to teach that pat dude how to use a sledgehammer my God hits like a girl
He knew he could push it much faster by hand but didn't want to go off his bosses script, finally got tired of doing it like the boss wanted, was a good hand, and so did it effectively :-)
It could also be argued that maybe this isn't Pat's first rodeo. If you wail on it you could crack or split your nice pretty beam, or knock it too far and then deal with the hassle of bringing it back in line. Just my estimation though, I've done a lot of this kind of work and have often found brute forcing everything often creates more problems than it solves
I can't find beam bases for 3x beams. Which one did you use?
6x6 post bases
@@THEpremieroutdoor was 1\2" build up needed on each side of the beam to fit in that base?
come on pat!
Always!
What's the song?
You say "half" like Peter Griffin. Good content tho 👍
What kind of drill is he using on 9.03 ?
Pneumatic palm nailer
Hey, what are the dimensions of the decks?
18x16 and 14x16
3x 2x12 = 🔒ed in 4️⃣ 🛂🚔!
Hit the fuckin thing Pat...
Scooter needs to build himself a stop block / template.
Nice boys but using the wrong post to beam bracket? Too big for the 3ply 2x
They don’t make one for a 4.5 inch that I know of so we usually just pack out one side of the bracket with a scrap piece of deckong
Why cant you use aluminum flashing?
Skrrt Cobain oxidizes and rusts our when it comes in contact with wood
@@bickford52 when it comes in contact with the treatment. The chemical eats it away
I like big ole smelly while women with long underarm hair. Good video bro!
Why can’t you us aluminum’s flashing?
No sound
AngieSantana check your speakers!
That deck is not square. Please, nobody hold framing squares up to string lines. That will get you squarISH at best. Do the math. Measure the corners!! Pythagorean theorem. It’s easier. Faster. More accurate. If you don’t want to do the math for your corner to corner dimensions, at least measure 3’ on one axis, 4’ on the other, those marks will be 5’ apart if your square. You could do 6’, 8’, 10’ if it’s bigger, and so on. Then measure corner to corner both sides, if your parallel and square these measurements will be the same. So simple. I can’t believe someone claiming to be an expert is using the framing square plus string method. It simply doesn’t work, unless your ok with squarish, not square.

Rule #1 never sandwich 2xs together to make a beam. Buy the correct lumber
Believe it or not it ends up being stronger than a solid piece when you sandwich together. I forget the exact science behind it but has to do with the wood grains. Sorta the same idea as how plywood varies the grain between layers. Also using something specialized like an engineered beam for a deck that is like 2 feet off the ground would be WAY WAY overkill.
This is common practice. If you want water to stay out of the lams use flashing tape or have metal made up
Why don’t you use a tripod to hold your camera
Definitely not how you square something..
Oh god no, is this how you triangle something? I always get them confused 😢
@@THEpremieroutdoor pretty sure you want to parallelogram it
My thoughts exactly 🤨
That square is way too small, ledger isnt a good reference for the square. Do a bit of math or leave the beams long, frame the deck, measure corners and cut them after.
Haha that's not how you install the Hurricane straps
He hit the bottom out more you can clearly see a diagonal line. SMH
The song reminds me of stewerrrrrt from letterkenny.......
