Here is a link to the"Pylex" adjustable deck supports: www.amazon.ca/Pylex-12098-Support-Extendable-Black/dp/B0753NYS3R/ref=sr_1_8?crid=361U3H4OH2N5F&keywords=pylex+post+base&qid=1584890716&sprefix=pyrex%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-8
Thank you information and you quick response. But it is not the same as in the video, why?
Look like part number 12103 and not 12098? Yours didn’t have the bolts to adjust width? Couldn’t you fill the tube with epoxy in areas where wind is a concern. I know you loose adjustability. The company would be smart to thread the base then use the nut to lock into to position creating an actual connection to the ground. Nice idea but don’t know how it meets code
From the beam how many inch is the over hang. Thanks
HouseImprovements Would I need an xrtra brace if my deck span is 16 feet? Or can I use 2x10x16 for the floor joist.

No fake smile nor drama, simple and efficient, no cut on mistakes and a decent video. get my like and comment you random youtuber.
That's Saskatchewan for ya. Most humble and hardest working people I've ever met.
Three important mistakes: 1. The flashing where it meets up at the butt joint on the ledger needs to be caulked. Water will penetrate at the butt joint and eventually rot out. 2. He tore the tar paper near the downspout. That should have been repaired. 3 Finally and most critically, the concrete patio is probably no more than than 3-1/2 “ thick. My jurisdiction would have required the patio cut out and a footing installed.
I’m actually glad to see you kept in the mistake and had to redo it. It’s good to see somebody on TH-cam not edit that out. Shows even a pro makes mistakes. Softens the blow for the diyer
You need to eat tacos!!!
I just re-watched this video on ledgers - and several others. You're still the best! Thanks for all the education.
😂😂😮🎉😊
Few people are willing to show mistakes. The fact that Shannon doesn't cut the video to hide the mistakes shows you the real deal. All of us make mistakes. Great video! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the rest of us.
I love how you showed yourself making a mistake (45:30)!This is very important for us “do it yourselfers”. This is definitely a confidence builder. Thank you! Your videos are extremely informative. The best I’ve seen yet.
If he made one mistake, just imagine how many I'll make.
From bathroom toilet install to my deck expansion, your videos are like gold to me. Appreciate the clear instruction. I'm a big fan. Keep them coming.
I'm a builder and i got to say you do a fine job in your presentation. Great tips and very informative for the viewer. Great job.
i agree
A mild mannered one man machine. I appreciate the no rush pace. You include the one man tricks of the trade. And show your mistakes.... Subscribed...
The best instructors are always even tempered, deliberate and purposeful. Never a wasted word or movement. Thanks!
I'm only 34 minutes in and usually I rip through these to catch the broad strokes... I've watched every minute of what this guy has presented. Excellent and comprehensive video, easy to follow and thoroughly illustrated. Thank you for taking the time to share your craft Sir!
With all the videos I have watched for building a deck, you are probably the only one that actually mentions treating the cut ends on every piece of wood. Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
You sir are the Bob Ross of how to videos.
I literally build everything in and around my house by watching your videos sir. From bathroom, to doors and windows, to shed and now deck. Thank you.
That is awesome!
This is one of the best renovation channels out there. I'm about to build a 30'x8' deck for a customer. Videos like this one here are a gold mine! From Norway, thanks a ton Shannon! You are appreciated man!
I love that you include your mistakes and fixes.
This channel is saving me tons of money. I learn here instead of paying to go to trade school. Thanks, Shannon!
Then I hope you donate at least a part of what you're saving to his Patreon account ;O)
Shannon knows everything. Any time I'm looking to learn ANYTHING, I look for Shannon's videos.
Thanks!
Absolutely! He is Great
Glad to see you make mistakes. Teaches us all that even the best can goof up sometimes and to pay attention to detail. Appreciate the authenticity. Keep it up.
Finally a deck frame built and installed properly on TH-cam. Great job, proper lumber dimensions used with a grade beam. Very refreshing to see.
Thank you very much!
Shannon, I love your presence, you are great. Thanks for all you do. Blessings upon you and your family.
I love these videos. Shannon you're well spoken and concise. Great instructional videos!
You do a great job at teaching Shannon. I've built my share of decks but I'm watching your video anyway looking for any new info/materials, and tricks. GREAT job madman. Regular guy doing solid work, hats off to ya!
I know this is 5 years ago but I need to tell you that your video is one of the clearest and concise videos about decking, and i've watched a lot! Nice to see a few wee mistakes too - I think that stuff only happens to me! 😆 Many, many thanx for your marvelous video.
Dang, this guy has experience and is detailed in his explanation
Made it to the end. Very thorough video. My Dad was a carpenter; I am an electrician. lol. I wish I'd have paid more attention to my Dad's craftsmanship back when he was alive. But thank you for your instructive videos; they really helped me hone up on some forgotten knowledge I had. I have a new house that I will be installing a 10' x 20' deck on with a handicap ramp for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Thank you and God bless.
Also flashing should be under the tarpaper
Every time you film a video and you think damn this is taking a long time...remember how much time you're saving every viewer by not making mistakes and being able to plan properly.
he shows how to fix mistakes which invaluable.
This video series (see all 3) is THE authoritative source of expert information that made my deck build possible!!! There is so much noise and misinformation on TH-cam, half-baked, and downright dangerous "expert" advice on deck building techniques. Shannon's is the real deal. Of course, you will have to supplement with other videos to adapt to your own deck building situation, but these 3 videos from Shannon have all the core knowledge you need to DIY, even if you are a complete novice like I was.
This is my guy. Just a real dude. Official Tissue.🤙
I'm building a deck and find your videos really helpful. Thank you!
I like this guy, I learned a lot from him, he explains things step by step, he is a professional, 👍🏻🙏💪🏻👍🏻
I've watched this video several times and learn something every time, also built some awesome decks, thanks Shannon.
This guy is as good as I have been, in the past.
I'm now 75 yrs. old, and enjoyed my earlier years very much.
Love how you explain WHY ... being a very visual learner and not even close to memory oriented LOL why is critical to me. Great videos!!!
Thank you Shannon...we have been considering a deck for about 20 years...I have received some pricey quotes over the years and you finally gave me the confidence to complete one myself...my wife wanted it big...turned out to be 24 x 16....took me several months working alone but it was well worth it! Cheers.
Months 🤔 3 days Max
These videos are excellent for the step-by-step process that is easy to follow! Great advise & saving potential building errors!
Thanks Shannon
I feel like I can build a house after watching his videos, he's very thorough
Thanks Robert
Hi Shaun can i get tip to do frame deck 12×10 and 2feet high ftom the ground
Me too. Almost
1/4" out of sq. before adjustment? Very nice!
Excellent video, thank you for putting it together and posting.
I like how slow and detailed your vid is very easy to follow for people with no knowledge of building. Thank you.
Wow! As a teacher with little carpentry talent, you explain things SO WELL. You are very clear and easy to understand. You give a guy like me great confidence to tackle anything. Thanks so much.
One of the best Home Improvement channels out there. Well explained as you go along step by step, in terms all can understand and discusses the simple issues you may come across as you attempt the same project. Nice one Shannon.
This HOWTO is so well put together. Thank you for making and posting it.

Great Video, never feel too long. Thanks.
Best instructor on you tube 👏👏👏
Shannon your awesome I watch a lot of your videos. I recently purchased my first home, and do all the work myself with the help of your videos. Im interested in redoing my deck so these videos are key.
***** Thanks Alex! Glad to be of help. Please feel free to use our forum as a helpful DIY tool as well. Please spread the word of our helpful information. www.house-improvements.com/forums/

45:32 Mad respect for keeping the blooper in the video. We have all been there my friend.
Appreciate the videos...I finished my 12x20 deck this time last year and will finally get to enjoy it since I redeploy this week. Thanks for being so thorough.
45:30 I love the honesty, love this guy, learned a lot from him when I remodeled my shower. 👏 👍 🙏
One of the best tradesmen on TH-cam. I love his channel and videos.
I’m subscribing just because of this.☝️ He keeps it real. Plain and simple.👍
This is a great series. You're great at presenting this information, reasoning and demonstration. My first deck project (24x36) is a bit more than I could chew. Attended more "TH-cam University" and am learning more amd more. End result, I over killed some areas. Thank you for showing this, Shannon. You and the Crew rock at this information.
Well look at it this way, it is always better to do more than less. I use brushed-on Titebond glue on all exposed joint ends.
People who don't make mistakes....are people that don't do anything. Nice shirt, nice hat. Nobody thought the video was too long. But some of us thought it was too short. Take your time. Your content is well worth even twice the length.
Best videos on TH-cam by far. Thanks man 🍺🍺
you make really great vids! no one hand vids!
what do you mean "hope you" stayed until the end.... Couldn't take my eye off the screen.... I really do like your videos and use the Knowledge you share regularly.... thanks for all you do....
I was searching for roll roofing videos and ended up watching the entire video. Shannon you're awesome!!!👍

When he said that I was like. I stayed ....lol ... his glasses tho. When he forgot to put them on I was waiting or the camera guy to whisper " your glasses".
Your one hard working knowledgeable guy
Awesome instructor. Its great that you never fail to mention all the little tricks of the trade that come with experience. Great videos! please continue, always learning something new from you.
Greats tips, im building my first deck ( 10x14 ) in one month, i can't wait, will be a fun project!!! Thanks you 😆
Love your videos. Here in Illinois we get several inches of snow so we usually build the deck down the height of a normal step( about 6 3/4 inches. I do this because I have yet to find a fool proof way to keep snow from weeping under the door. Flashings doesn’t work under the door sill. Do you have any ideas. Thank you. Your work is excellent.
Great work. I would sure want you to build my deck. I am sure you are proud of your skills and work ethic. First class!
After watching this I have made informed decisions. Great
Shannon you are the man! Love how thorough your videos are for beginners like myself. Thank you so much!
I like that you don't edit out your mistakes. Chances are we will make the same mistakes when building our projects and we were able to see how you corrected them.
BTW...what do you take to go in "Speedy Gonzales" mode? I'd like some of that too :)
*Before you hammer your wedge bolts into the concrete!*
Put them through the bracket and add the nuts so they don't fall off and *THEN* put them into the holes and hammer them into place.
You won't have to bother with popping them sideways to fit by doing this. ❤🇺🇸🦅🔥
I was simply watching this for my entertainment.i greatly enjoy the technique you used to put that together and there are some very smart methods thrown into it. Great work man!
A 1/8 of an inch out of square? 😣😂😂 Like me, you are a perfectionist! Great video!
My measurements are tight as a frog hair split four ways..🐸
These contractor is a real Professional,he breaks things down throughly everybody is different as long as your going by code, and he those Lol he's name should be Code lol,that's how good he is
You are a great teacher! Your instruction makes everything easy to understand. I feel so confident to tackle our project now! Thank You!
You are so welcome!
You mean the professionals even make a mistake... Kudos to you for keeping it in the video
This is an excellent and very educational video. Most project/construction/DIY videos leave out the details and just skip to the major steps, but the details are the most important things to know! Looking forward to watching the rest of this series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like everything you do except for the lack of pre-drilling. I feel, in a situation such as this, even though a manufacturer may say it's not necessary, the importance of mitigating stress within the board outweighs the convenience and speed of driving them straight in with no pilot hole, especially in drier dimensional lumber. As you're well aware, lumber loses much of it's strength as soon as it develops a crack or split.
As for the flashing, perhaps a bead of construction adhesive on the top edge of the ledger board would be effective to hold the flashing in place so the main sections don't move and the splice doesn't slide laterally from its location. Great job with your explanations; I really appreciate your ability to convey key information to the layman - a true teacher.
Agreed! What's with tradies and their antagonism towards pilot holes and pre-drilling? There are VERY SOUND Engineering principles to warrant drilling, so that the damn things last a whole lot longer ... wait ... there's a clue, right there. Hmmmm.
I like that you didn't edit out the rim flip. "been there done that"
Thanks
Best deck building instructional video on TH-cam! Thanks for actually showing everything you're explaining.
What! A nail in a joist to hang the nailgun on? BRILLIANT! Thank you, Shannon & Co., your videos are Top Notch.🤗
I bet Canadians love that one day a year that it is warm enough to wear shorts. I kid, I kid. Nice video.
We have pretty warm summers here usually. 21ish Celsius every day.
+Randy Bobandy That would be around 70 degrees in F which is just about the perfect weather. I live in the southeastern part of the US where you never know what kind of weather to expect. It was nearly 70 in late December this past year and 13 inches of snow on the ground a month later.
+wilsocn it was 15° on Friday and -15° today and 2" of snow. unbelievable
bruh, it's December 29th in Louisiana and I've been wearing shorts since April
I believe this was on a Wednesday!
I changed from the FM Lags to the Simpson SDWS -no predrill, smooth flat washered head that don’t limit where I place my joists. Check em out. Cool vid 😎
thank you so most for tip Simpson lag screws is the best and quicker
I fucking love shannon, he's not perfect but he's definitely a guy you want working on your house.
holy crap that was frustrating watching the post base bracket not go down, I would hace switched to a sledge hammer and golf drove it into the neighbours yard.
Oh man, i love these adjustable legs. Much easier to install and likely last alot longer. Thanks for sharing this install. Very well done and explained.
I found your video and used it to extend my deck by 5 feet. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your video. You’ve saved me thousands of dollars in learning how to do it myself. So thankful.
You are so welcome!
Hate to be one of those people but those joist hangers are designed to have longer screws/nails in the 4 diagonal holes. That is so the screw/nail penetrates the joist as well as the framing member the joist is being hung on, in this case the ledger board.
whatever
He’s right though. 2.5 inch nails in the diagonals, 1.5 into the face
Good point. Thanks for pointing that out!
xl f u he’s correct
Do any of you have any manufacturing spec to share
Where I am we have joist hanger nails. (Heavy duty galvanized. But short)
They have a number on back 10 for 2x10. 8 for 2x8 and so on.
I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.
But if you don't have the right number and one in every whole
Will not pass inspection! They don't accept any other fastener!
Would this be a good time to consider adding electric power. When I did my last deck I didn't run power and regretted it later. If you know you will be using outdoor lighting, or other electric you may want to consider rough wiring at this point.
I just finished a deck and went with solar lighting....real easy setup too.
You explain things superbly
Shannon's videos are always very helpful for house maintenance, thank you so much for sharing.
Did I miss some essential ingredient in snapping a stringline before he cut the joists to length??
The stringline was straight but how did he know it was parallel to the other end of the joists. Theoretically, you could snap a stringline that would be straight but the deck could end up a triangle.
I was thinking about the same thing. Probably he has a very good eye.

Great video! One thing, joist hangers need longer screws or nails in the angled holes! 2-1/2" minimum according to Simpson strong tie! Most common mistake everywhere! Almost all pros make this mistake!
There are two different types (and 2 different trains of thought), one bracket accommodates angled screws, the other screws in at 90.
The value of what you do for us is absolutely priceless thank you thank you
Im a carpenter myself but never made a deck. Im building one next month. Best video on how to build a deck ever. Your quite talented as a mentor.
+Raisthlin Dom Thanks
A minor correction. Those aren't lag bolts. They're lag screws. I mention this because if you ask for lag bolts at your home supply you'll end up with the wrong fasteners and they will probably ask you if you want nuts for the bolts.
ok thanks
nuts & washers.
They are lag bolts for sure. The hardware that came with my lumber has a box of 5/8" lag bolts for the ledger.
Correct they're screws, and you need some time out doing something other than scrutinizing deck fasteners
Looks like a 6 inch ledger lok
this guy is no Larry Haun hahaha

No hes not but he is a good skilled carpenter and is very thorough.
I built my shed following you guide it came out beautifull Thank you.
Shannon is the BEST!! Wow- Doesn't miss a single detail.
I really appreciate that you admitted a minor mistake, now I'm a total fan of yours. I like honesty.
Your vids are easy to follow, I enjoy how you talk to people and not at them, that's what makes it enjoyable to watch & learn from.
It's like you are sitting there talking directly to us.
Definitely the easiest video to follow
You take all the extra care that separates quality workmanship from average. And I appreciate all the details and tips that you remember to mention. A lot of instructionals take for granted that everyone knows these things. Great work and awesome video! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind feedback.
Excellent video. Very thorough and coherent 👍👍👍👍
Shannon is my favorite home improvement guy. 💥
Your videos are great. I think this is because you have a nice conversational style, easy to follow pacing and you stay on point. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent. Yes, I kept watching for the entire hour. I appreciate all the details!
Thanks very much for posting this series. I'm replacing a deck so the foundation work has been done, but I love all the tips and information that you are sharing for the decking and framework. Very nice

This guy is a master at his craft. Everything he tackles ends up looking like gold!
My favorite construction channel strikes again with a great video.
Thank you so much for the video and wanted to complement you on being thorough and succinct. Definitely a great start for learning how to build not only a deck, but attaching it to the house and eventually setting the posts.
