This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things th-cam.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.
This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
This was a beautiful installation. I was hoping to get a few ideas as I am getting prepared to install the hot tub electrical for a client. The only item that I may suggest including would be the electrical distribution for the hot tub, power, and lighting. As an electrician, it would be nice to see where the GFCI disconnect was positioned and how the cable was brought to the tub. This would also benefit any homeowner planning to get an idea of the full scope of the installation. Much appreciated.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
I wished you guys were able to do these projects everywhere in the USA.. I don’t see any other projects on TH-cam or anywhere which look so top notch 🥰
@Krzysztof Slomiany that's why im curious why they put it under the one section at all. It's like they either realized half way through, or charged the customer to do the full thing but didn't.
My deck needs to be redone. My 15 yr old daughter and I built outside projects during covid lockdowns. Two beds with bar tops on the back, a pallet bar, and a pallet bridge. All made of pallets scrounged from the valley. We had the best time. We finished off the outside area with tables and umbrellas and finally even lights. I want to redo my deck with a hot tub in it like this. Similar. Watching this I think we could do it.
If you want to do this correctly you better build a second house for the price. When the rotting process takes place youre talking about 10 years. So they can enjoy it for that time.
If it’s stained and pressure treated cedar you are looking at 25+ years. 0 clue why they didn’t put it on a solid base BUT some areas are built on filled in clay... so maybe that’s the situation?
How do you fix the hot tub when it breaks? Why didn’t the wood sitting on the ground get treated for termites? Shouldn’t the joists have concrete slabs poured to sit on to reduce the likelihood of termites eating the wood laying flat on the ground?
They left the front access panel open and about 75% of the time, over the life of the tub, that's the only thing you'll need access to. For that other 25 % of the time, the builder will need to go back out and tear out all of their work so the service tech can get access. As someone who fixes hot tubs every day, I'll say this is more than most builders will do... but it's just a silly idea that you would never do to any other appliance and I wish it would stop.
I'm sorry, didn't see the other comments. 25 years I've been servicing hot tubs. The problem is that by the time there's a problem, these guys are long gone. A two foot access area around the inside of the spa would do it, but it would cost more up front.
@@spadoc-md I work in the industry too and this is a nightmare waiting to happen. All that work will have to get disassembled if that tub needs service. Even trying to cut your losses and getting rid of the hot tub will be very hard. Plus, they cheaped out on the tub too.
I too have been in the pool and spa industry for 20+yrs. If I came across something like that I would tell them to call me once they have the spa up on the deck.
Looks amazing, I'm sure somewhere in the comments this would have been asked, but what was done about the regrowth underneath the deck? I didn't see a membrane go down under the larger sections of floor. Did I miss it??
You can see at 1:56 they put a weed barrier and gravel, which is recommended (but only in that little square). Maybe they just didn't include adding the rest of the weed barrier in the video? But yea the floor planks blocking the sunlight would not fully prevent growth under the deck (from my own experience of not putting weed barrier I know).
It is easy to create access to the hot tube from all four sides. All you had to do was cut out all the access areas and use cabinet door closures that have the two wheels on the cabinet and the little wire hood that grips onto the wheels. They are usually seen on older kitchens. You get an A + for craftsmanship and an F for usability.
If you look carefully, they have anchor foundation screws for the joist. Each of those can support 5000lbs in sandy soil. But.. for humidity, you are right, it might be a concern. It looks closed on the side.
Great work! Food for thought, leave some type of room or opening for the hot tub to be worked on by a technician. Techs have to remove the panels, change out pumps etc... Just something to think about. Beautiful deck though. Looks awesome!
The work is absolutely splendid and deserves an award, whoever has chosen the music deserves to be thrown into the whirlpool with about fifty hungry piranas ...
Spa is great level for senior/ handicap/wheelchairs, only thing missing is few large hand rails to aid in getting in/out spa. Been great to see some sun shields over the spa, to protect from sun damage during day.
Looks great but this may not last long. Looked like non treated wood was used. Jacuzzi brings a lot of moisture to the wood, and jacuzzis usually leak after a while also. The lack of clearance to the jacuzzi side panels for service access may also be an issue in a couple years. Would loved to have seen this done with concrete and tile instead.
Beautiful, beautiful work. Im renovating a 40-yr old deck that my Dad built. Im envious seeing a crew of 6 or 7 people working on a project like that. This one’s all on me. Ugh.

I can't watch anymore of these videos. The work they do is incredible, but I have a small home and even smaller budget, and could never afford any of these. It's torture to watch. I hope these people appreciate their fortune.
A few problems. No gravel or lining on grass?. Should there be some barrier between soil and the first layer of wood to prevent rotting?, Repair access for services to tub?
Typically how much does a deck like this cost? I am looking to redo our deck and I love the layout here. I also am looking at a nice hot tub as well. This is amazing. What could I be looking at 💵-wise?
I dont know the prices in the US but here in Finland a deck like that would cost around 4-5k€ for the hot tub. 1,5km wood costs around 2-3€/m = 3-4,5k€ + foundation wood of around 300m thats around 3€/m or roughly 900€, lights probably around 200€ and that window in the back probably around 500€ + electric work for the tub depends but probably around 500€. Roughly 10-12k€ and that converted to dollars it's like 12-15k€
Sadly around 15-30k in building .. because of inflation right now. hot tub around 10k for a nice one.. beware make sure you have 220 v and a spot for your breaker or you will be paying an electrician alot of money or trying to resell your new hot tub
ball park costs for this job from start to finish? Including planning, quoting, etc.? I want to do something similar in my backyard which is a smilar size as this. I have no idea how much a job like this should or shouldn't cost.
Not sure what type of wood they're using for the deck but I'd say given the size of the deck plus the additional custom work, you'd be looking at somewhere in the range of $35-$45k.
Ok, why pour the gravel between the floor joists next to the hot tub? Or just leftover gravel? I assume your first patio foundation beams were set on top of pilings or some kind of support?
Should do a video on building a deck around a hot tub. You need to have access to all 4 sides of the hot tub for repairs that will come up. Trying to find videos on building the deck around a hot tub.
It's important for homeowners to educate themselves on best practices and the does and don'ts of any sort of home improvement. So they can set build expectations with contractors.
Looks nice but... I'm wondering how you will access the hot tub panels if there are any mechanical issue? How are you handling all the moisture that will get under the fully enclosed deck? It doesn't look like there is any airflow allowing it to evaporate.
I noticed that you have this deck closed to the ground. What kind of composite are you using that does not require air flow underneath to keep from heat buildup under the deck?
What’s up I see you decided to try out those ground screw foundation supports❓ how do you like them❓ I saw them at the build expo this year seemed very interesting just concerned with softer ground issues what do you think❓ also I was wondering bro do you put down a weed block and gravel below the decks❓So weeds don’t come up through the deck and any kind of drainage❓ I know per code you’re supposed to have a 2% slope from grade on the groundwork. 2% away from the house basically on the dirt. At least that’s out here in Cali. Looks so tight though 👍🏻Bro let me know how you like those ground screws for real ❓And weed block and drainage questions I wanna know what you think about that brother Great build as always😎👍🏻🔨🔨🔨💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😎
Agree I would have done more drainage and weed control. Those are called helical piers and are a huge time saver. I work at Helipile and piers are a great way to easily get foundation support.
I worked with a franchise where I'm at called GoliathTech and there is another called TechnoPost. It's helical piles. They are cleaner looking than sonotubes and way quicker to install. I would highly suggest them especially if you have softer soil because you don't have to deal with any fabric/aggregate for cement or worry about anything failing. If you get someone who owns a franchise like above mentioned, their work should have a 50-100 year guarantee to hold. Also the weedblock they used seems like more than enough. Infact maybe too much aggregate for weeds to stay moist in and germinate. I've always done road fabric with 3/4 drain rock only two or three rocks deep. If you can get the fabric to lay as flat as possible. You can get away with just an inch and a half and then weeds really have no chance.
Thanks a lot! The helical piles are amazing, more expensive but less headache compared to concrete. We've never had an issue with weeds growing underneath a deck once the deck is built, and I give the clients the option of doing stone underneath the whole thing but on this one it would have cost a few thousand dollars
Honestly rn lumber is very expensive. Covid interrupting manufacture, wildfires reducing supply, and more people choosing to build rather than travel. For a small project like this- get the plans ready and wait for prices to drop.
Agreed, all of the organic material should have been excavated out of there, filter fabric laid down and topped with at least 4" of crushed stone. Doing this provides better air circulation and drainage.
@@mmfic98 yep! I have a feeling everyone commenting is European. I'm from Finland and what you wrote is our principal as well. Decaying organic material creates a damp environment slowly over time destroying the decking. Good air circulation is also key.
I hope those timbers are either redwood or at least pressure treated ones. Otherwise it will all dryrot less than 10 yrs especially when they are not even sitting on concrete post. To me they don't seem neither.
The poster mentioned he used treated lumber. Depending on where you live in North America the look different (some are lighter color). He probably used driven metal piles which is better than concrete in this application. Most concrete pile are only 4 to 5 feet deep and can still heave by frost(frost gets deep). Those piles would be at least 10ft deep which will stay under the frost
Chaddy Muchacho it is likely pressure treated wood, so it's safer for direct contact. But I agree, I still wouldn't put pressure treated directly on the ground
It's not directly on the ground. Freeze the video at 26sec. Guess they poured concrete forms, not sure why they didn't bring them up a little more or why no tarping, gravel or anything for that matter was placed down at the start
How about you show actual "after" photos instead of a render? It's so obvious too. In the "after" shots the roof shingles are different than the before photo and there is now a roof vent missing that used to be there? Did you guys redo the roof as well?
Note the grass in the before photo, compared to what it looks like during the work. Note the roof over the French doors during the actual work. No vent. Obviously the before photo was taken before the owners started a full-on renovation, probably well before the deck work started, and which likely included the roof as well as the deck and backyard area, so the after photo isn't a render, just the result of some good planning and an experienced photographer.
why on the small portion of deck beside the hot tub, are the joists not only sitting on but are actually covered by gravel? gravel creates and holds moisture and is sure to speed up deterioration of the joists....its why you put a vapor barrier between gravel and concrete
Just out of curiosity guys, any chance of an approximate cost for this kind of work? There is one caveat though. I am based in the UK. Naturally I would fly your whole team out here, pay for hotels, meals etc exclusive of the build cost. Many thanks.
Take it from a carpenter, do not waste your money on composite decking. Sure the decking last, but the treated frame doesn't. You will never get that composite material back down if you have to rebuild the deck frame. Which will need to be done eventually. It's all a scam, should just buy treated or cedar and be done with it. You are putting an overpriced turd with a tie on it on your deck when u use composite. Its like wiping b4 u poo, just doesn't make any sense. Now to someone that doesn't know any better, it makes all the sense in the word to use recycled material that cost 4-6 x's the cost of lumber, but then again, lumber has skyrocketed out of control as everything else has since the fraudulent cheating potato took office.
This is built on a helical pile foundation, incredibly more effective than concrete footings at preventing settlement and heaving. Thanks for the concern though!

Question, noticed you put weed mat and gravel only under one section of deck, why not the rest?
That's exactly what I thought As well
Scamming people. 😀
no sun so nothing will grow under the deck anyway
@Krzysztof Slomiany that's why im curious why they put it under the one section at all. It's like they either realized half way through, or charged the customer to do the full thing but didn't.
I noticed that too, just pressure treated right in the ground like that…. No footers…. Gonna be garbage in a few years I suspect

Bit confused: don't you need to build that on a concrete/solid base and weather treat the wood? Won't it just rot away in a decade or so?
If you want to do this correctly you better build a second house for the price. When the rotting process takes place youre talking about 10 years. So they can enjoy it for that time.
I don't care if its pressure treated lumber if its in dirt it will rot
I asked myself the same question.
@@Trillineatus nope. Not without a water barrier it doesn't.

Should do a video on building a deck around a hot tub. You need to have access to all 4 sides of the hot tub for repairs that will come up. Trying to find videos on building the deck around a hot tub.
Good luck servicing that hot tub. Guarantee you they tell the customer to remove the hot tub from the deck to repair a jet leak on the side cased in.

Why isn’t the entire grass removed before the building starts?
Because the grass dies after the deck is built, weve never had an issue with weeds growing through a deck and we've built lots of decks
Removing it,adding the fabric and adding the gravel looks more legit and clean bro.Great job tho.
Wet dirt & wood 🤔
@@ALTH-camRZ it's called ground contact pressure treated wood. Specifically engineered to withstand wet dirt.
@@THEpremieroutdoor not ya first rodeo
Geez I love you guy's work. Such a beautiful turn out. I would have gone with a pergola style cover but the hanging lights were a nice touch too.
Cover would have been cool if it had fit in the budget!
@@THEpremieroutdoor What was the budget here?
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Looks awesome, that grass is going to stink when it starts rotting tho... id suggest using lining and gravel on top of the grass.
Exactly, this empty space under the platform will the perfect place for all sorts of animals and insects
I was going to comment the same thing. Made no sense that they didn’t clear that out first! Glad I’m not the only one
Agreed, all of the organic material should have been excavated out of there, filter fabric laid down and topped with at least 4" of crushed stone. Doing this provides better air circulation and drainage.
@@mmfic98 yep! I have a feeling everyone commenting is European. I'm from Finland and what you wrote is our principal as well. Decaying organic material creates a damp environment slowly over time destroying the decking. Good air circulation is also key.
No it won’t. I’ve built 2 decks like this. No rot, no stink
I love the look of the wood beams with the black metal pergola!
I hope those timbers are either redwood or at least pressure treated ones. Otherwise it will all dryrot less than 10 yrs especially when they are not even sitting on concrete post. To me they don't seem neither.
The poster mentioned he used treated lumber. Depending on where you live in North America the look different (some are lighter color). He probably used driven metal piles which is better than concrete in this application. Most concrete pile are only 4 to 5 feet deep and can still heave by frost(frost gets deep). Those piles would be at least 10ft deep which will stay under the frost
Perfect patio for this house and neighborhood. Fantastic work.
Awesome transformation 👏 great job. Looks good!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fan... bloody...tastic... great job,i love it
Why do u put the timber directly onto the ground? Why not concrete posts in or concrete stirrups for the bearer? Surely thats not going to last?
Chaddy Muchacho it is likely pressure treated wood, so it's safer for direct contact. But I agree, I still wouldn't put pressure treated directly on the ground
@@codyraymond3146 I was thinking the same thing but for sure I still wouldn't either
Ground contact pressure treated wood is just that. But yeah. I too would have it on concrete footings.
Pressure treated wood in mud!?! I'm out
It's not directly on the ground. Freeze the video at 26sec. Guess they poured concrete forms, not sure why they didn't bring them up a little more or why no tarping, gravel or anything for that matter was placed down at the start
Looks great but how do you service or even drain that hot tub
this is just amazing, love it!
Oh boy, it's amazing!!👏👏👏👏👏so beautiful!!!!!🥰 Creative, gorgeous!!!! My god bless you
should of put in a 80 flat panel tv next to the hot tub.....speakers?
That would be dope
And a bar for others to sit along one side.
Beautiful result.
what does a build like that cost in material?
Maybe 3 dollar
Do you remember the wood stain color used for the posts?
How about you show actual "after" photos instead of a render? It's so obvious too. In the "after" shots the roof shingles are different than the before photo and there is now a roof vent missing that used to be there? Did you guys redo the roof as well?
you have to be joking
Note the grass in the before photo, compared to what it looks like during the work. Note the roof over the French doors during the actual work. No vent. Obviously the before photo was taken before the owners started a full-on renovation, probably well before the deck work started, and which likely included the roof as well as the deck and backyard area, so the after photo isn't a render, just the result of some good planning and an experienced photographer.
Are those carry beams actually resting on the ground?
I want that done in my back yard. Can you tell us how much that project is worth ?
Today? About 150k
Is that PT wood? Looks like regular pine/fir.
Just Subscribed! Love every single video,. I live in new york would love to know the approx cost for such a project
why on the small portion of deck beside the hot tub, are the joists not only sitting on but are actually covered by gravel? gravel creates and holds moisture and is sure to speed up deterioration of the joists....its why you put a vapor barrier between gravel and concrete
Love to know the budget behind this.
Looks to me to be about 30 - 40K. That price range depends on the area. But that was NOT a cheap transformation either way.
@@mytreesloth some companies would charge 50-70k for this, some even more
@@billymadison2497 I have absolutely no doubt. I just got done building a house, some contractors can charge pretty ridiculous prices.
By the amount of the professionals on the field i would assume its not cheap
My guess is 30k
Just out of curiosity guys, any chance of an approximate cost for this kind of work?
There is one caveat though. I am based in the UK.
Naturally I would fly your whole team out here, pay for hotels, meals etc exclusive of the build cost.
Many thanks.
this was about 60k!
@@THEpremieroutdoor thanks for the quick reply guys.
$60,000 is much more reasonable than i was expecting actually.
Hell of a Transformation ‼️👍🏼👌🏼
You just gave me the idea I needed for the house we have in Miami. It's 10 - 15 min from South Beach.
Nice! What a good location!
A bit far, but ok.
Love ur work!! Very passionate about what u do!!
Thanks so much Ryan!!
@@THEpremieroutdoor you guys hiring or not? 😂😂😂
How do you access the three interior of the hot tub in case repair work becomes necessary? Looks beautiful, but I wonder.
There is an access panel!
I would have skipped to the end for the reveal but the song was fire 🔥
Lol that track is one of my favorite royalty free bangers
@@THEpremieroutdoor truly a banger. Hell I might watch this video at the gym today. It's leg day.
@@THEpremieroutdoor Whats the name of this royalty free banger lol
This looks amazing
thanks a lot
so beautiful..love it!
Thanks so much!!
Take it from a carpenter, do not waste your money on composite decking. Sure the decking last, but the treated frame doesn't. You will never get that composite material back down if you have to rebuild the deck frame. Which will need to be done eventually. It's all a scam, should just buy treated or cedar and be done with it. You are putting an overpriced turd with a tie on it on your deck when u use composite. Its like wiping b4 u poo, just doesn't make any sense. Now to someone that doesn't know any better, it makes all the sense in the word to use recycled material that cost 4-6 x's the cost of lumber, but then again, lumber has skyrocketed out of control as everything else has since the fraudulent cheating potato took office.
That’s a great backyard transformation. Why only out gravel on the side of the hot tub?
Can’t wait to see this after it settles
This is built on a helical pile foundation, incredibly more effective than concrete footings at preventing settlement and heaving. Thanks for the concern though!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks good enough to be on the front of a magazine!
I should make my own magazine and put myself on the cover!
Well how long did that take, to put together, vary nice
Great work, this is absolutely beautiful!
@Premier Outdoors Living --- Would you be able to include the price for each project down below so we can get an idea of what we may be able to afford ? Thank You !
