    Welcome to the first part of my big Outdoor Kitchen build! In this video, I'll show you how we framed a large floating deck on concrete pillars. And then how we decked it with the Trex Transcend composite decking system. At the end of this series, I'll have a fully functional outdoor kitchen, with a fireplace, kitchen space and much more for outdoor living and entertaining. The next video will cover framing and roofing the roof.

    When I did mine, I back cut the 'end grain' of the composite decking slightly so you don't see the ugliness of it against the 'bread board' edge. It is a bit more work but makes a difference. Nice job - love your outdoor space!

    It is so satisfying to see that thrown together so well. The unprofessional, rude construction around me is going slow for them and all I see is possibilities for a permaculture paradise with homesteading communal type living where everyone works well as a team with big projects.

  • @CCCfeinman55
    @CCCfeinman55 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can also use a simple jig consisting of a 2xwhatever joist and a wider-longer cap stick nailed on to set the joist hangers. That is faster yet leaves you with usually zero joist end leveling... great project so far. Looking forward to the rest!
