This guys builds a deck mostly by himself and has the energy to do a handstand at the end. Give him a freaking medal already.
Hi man nice job for the side of the deck what type of material did you used thank!!!
it's funny how you seem to think that he did it in a day.
I
And he’s in Florida. That summer heat 🥵 he’s the chillest dude

Beautiful deck. Saw this video when it 1st came out. It inspired me to build my deck. Now 9 decks later…. Thank you!!
Did you skip removing the turf and just put the fabric liner like he did or did you remove all the turf? How did yours turn out if you only did the fabric but kept the grass underneath it?
This guy is one of the coolest dudes around
This best builder I know of
you guys serious ?
quatanos ....yes...?
Willie Howard III well The channel called “I like to make stuff “ does good projects as well like a tree house
Your deck is beautiful. I live in Florida as well and it's a whole different 'building' ball game here than in the North. You are FAR more realistic when it comes to building methods and 'hiding errors' than a lot of these do-it-yourselfers. I appreciate that. I build tons of stuff and no one ever talks about walls or foundations off plumb and the 'jimmy-ing' you have to do to make the end result look great. Great video! Great project well done!
Including your daughter in the process brought a smile to my face. That's what's up. Good man.

He did a good job. I do this for a living. I should mention to wear a mask when sanding especially with the Trex and treated lumber. I have sinus issues because I'm hard-headed and don't like using masks/respirators even when I have them in hand.

@@mobmillion2746 Project much?
Make sure she has eye and hearing protection.
@@Zofmui if you watch the video, you can clearly see her wearing it.
One of the easiest DIY deck videos to follow DIY deck videos on TH-cam. I like that he went back to do improvements.
I usually prefer the look of natural wood, but encasing the whole deck in composite decking looks fantastic! And I love the embedded lights on the steps!
♥️🖤
Yes! I am very happy with the way it came out. Now the rest of my yard is jealous.
Very easy to care for too! Hose and a brush is all you need!
Dorian sapiens yeah, those capitalists at Trex manufactured a great high quality product.
Excellent job Sir! Seeing your little girl helping brought back memories of my daughter "helping" me build her sand box when she was about 4 years old. Well done. God bless you.
It's hard to believe this I'd the first deck you've built! Looks like you've been doing it forever! Looks great just like everything else you've done. Step by step instructions easy to follow. Well done sir!
I dont understand how someone talented like this gets dislikes, please someone tell me!?
maybe people with two left hands that can´t use a screwdriver. Who knows?
Mohammed Haq , haters, they are everywhere!!!
Because a hater just has to hate ;)
I don't understand either but this is the world we live in.
Hes doing a how to video and showing you how to build a deck that will fail prematurely. The joists should sit on top of a notch cut into the 4x4. and carriage bolted together. Not screwed into the side. Ultra fail. expensive composite 5 quarter boards on top of a turd .
Beautiful design Glen. I would recommend white or rocks below at the edge of the deck extending a foot or so the lights have something to reflect against and would serve as good dranage.
Yep - good call
You sir are a real craftsman! What you’ve created is amazing and very modern. I also very much appreciate all the work that went into not only the decking construction but the hours you must have spent in all the filming and editing. I am very impressed by your quality of work. Keep up the good work.
Omg when the little girl was helping sanding ❤️❤️ I use to help my daddy build stuff also so cute
Jen G tbf you still look young
Your assistant is the best! I love all of the jigs you make for each of your projects to make them easier each time.
So to all the expert deck builders out there he put in the joist hangers are yall happy now
No /s
It’s not that we’re all experts it’s called common sense
He fixed some stuffs AFTER building the deck because he read thoses comments after the composite was installed. not exactly planned. But still great and will work perfectly for the purpose.
I'm not an expert or even a pro builder. I just thought a few horizontal screws were in no way strong enough to hold the weight of the deck + people.
Matt Postle I wonder if thoses were deck screws or structural screws. dexk screws has a shear strength of 80 pounds only. they can snap one by one and one day it fail. Im sure he ll be fine and he is not far from ground but the same on a second floor deck could be dangerous. screws are great but with the right type
Man, I wish I had all those tools to build a beautiful deck like yours. You are very creative, congrats!!!
The key is to save, and buy them one at a time on sale. I'm going on 52 yrs. old, and I was able to buy my first Dewalt screwgun, ( cordless drill) about 6 months ago. Now I have a circular saw, impact driver, screwgun, orbital sander, and reciprocating saw. I still need quite a few more for all the house remodeling I have to do, but I'll eventually get them.
The biggest difficulty you'll have to overcome is the desire to buy something else, and put off buying your tools. It's far better to do something than it is to wish you had, and have that regret. Never let wishful thinking get in the way of your goals, and aspirations.
Good job. Im a general contractor, and while there were certainly some areas for improvement from a construction standpoint, you took on the project and followed through with it. We all should continue to challenge ourselves and grow in skill and ability.
Good choice on the decking material.
This is my favorite DIY/building channel. I like off grid stuff a lot but its difficult to find those without lengthy monologues. I love how straight forward and clear you are in your videos. A lot of it translatable to other projects so I really appreciate it!
Love what you do man, I’m 17 and most of my knowledge with woodworking has come from your vids, been a sub since I was like 15.
He's nice with it
BA AA I appreciate the offer but I actually live in Texas man :( what was the project you had in mind?
You sir, are my HERO!!! Part 1 and Part 2 were absolutely well worth my time!! Thank you very, very much!!
great build! i also liked how you went back and enhanced the strength with the joist hangers and post connectors...simple fix and big step-up in terms of quality.
Thanks, Doug, yep it felt like the right thing to do.
@@DIYCreators glad i found this channel, thanks for the great inspirational work!

You have a gift: The ability to give clear instructions, even someone like me, can understand, and follow along, that's an accomplishment!
Gonna do this to my whole yard so I don't have to cut my lawn ever again =D
Wouldn’t the plants just grow through the cracks?
Florida life.... Cut grass on lowest setting 3 days half way to knee caps and I'm 6'3".😒
actually not maintaining a lawn , the deck will pay for itself...hahahah
I agree 😂
Great job 👍🏽
I'm not one to have a wedding outside, but that is worthy of a garden ceremony. That is beautiful work.
Solid moves, man. I like how even though you have some moments of "i could've done this in a better sequence," the coolest realization is "it can still be done" and you executed it very well.
I want to build a deck in the back yard up against my house. Time to do some research!
Beautiful! The detail of the small angle at the front is so cool! Love the steps lights and once your landscape design comes alive, the lights around the deck would make more impact. You make it look so easy … but it is not. Your planning is amazing!
Anti turning washer. never saw them before.. great idea for sure...That is one fine looking deck. congrats..thanks for the share...
Here's what I learned. This is a guy with grit, who listens to suggestions and corrections. I like him and think many folks could learn some things from him.
Decks do usually require some adherence to code, but primarily only when they are more than a few inches off the ground or when they are attached to a house.
Wow, I'm designing (in my head) a ground-level deck to butt up against a concrete patio. This is to make more room for patio space, BBQ grills and tables. This tutorial gave me some renewed motivation, cheers from California!
The level of attention to detail is out of this world. Great craftsmanship like this has become a lost characteristic.
Any young guy including his little girl as a helper, and introducing her to power tool sander is OK in my book. Nice video, dude!
Just give her a face mask hahaha
OMG! I LOVE the tutorial with your kid! She's even wearing her safety goggles! Awesome! Like the tutorial, too! Probably a couple "easier" ways to do it, but your attention to detail makes it awesome!
4:21 best part of this video. I remember helping my dad, this is a big deal for a kid, never discount it.
Great idea and great job! Next time add some hidden speakers that hook up to the Bluetooth speakers!😎
Thank you for this video. While I am in no position to make a deck of my own, I learn so much from you about little things that can help me in other wood working endeavors.
Been watching for a while now, this has been one of my favorite videos as I've been wanting to build a ground level back from my basement. Wife saw part of this and told me to get plans together for a weekend build. Thanks Glen!
Just found your channel and man, you are a wonderful teacher and tradesman. Thank you! Keep up the great work.
Excellent job. Nice LED installation. Thanks for sharing your your video. Watching with full support from Canada 🇨🇦.
I like the setting on the LED where its all the colors! This was a really cool build.
Thank you
People are ALWAYS going to find things that you can do better when in this situation of putting your system out there for critique, just always gonna happen. End result is the same, though, and it sure does look great! Seriously enjoyed watching this, informative and entertaining
Using an old pallet for a cutting table is a great tip.
As a math teacher you did an incredible job explaining your project and voicing over what you did. I also appreciated the fact that on your second video you admitted that you should have added the corner brackets and then did. Really great job man! I'm still trying to figure out if I want Trex deck or redwood. Your deck looks great. Thanks a ton, Diana ....Fillmore, Ca
Great job on the build. It looks fantastic! I really like how you don't just run through with time lapses but instead go through each detail and decision that you make. I would watch your builds over so many others just on that basis. :)
I agree 100%. Your videos are not only factual but problem solutiononalis. Very helpful thank you 👍
Hey Glen, Wow... Not only was your video production 5 Star. You did a great job on the decking, going back and using the correct hardware was the right thing to do. Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing
this is beautiful. the work, the deck, the video, the editing, the voiceover, all of it!
Love that you have your kid out there with you! Thanks for the tips!
I don't have any plans to build a deck, but the video was still enjoyable.
It's funny how society allows us to classify trade workers as anything but smart and here I am with an M.S. degree and I felt completely incompetent watching this video...kudos to you, sir for your obvious passion and expertise
Jig's are a man's best friend.
I really enjoyed your "I have a vision, and I'm going to make it come to pass no matter what." approach. Very nice deck. Thanks for all the work you did to be able to show us the build.
A ground-level deck is on the to-do list and I’ll be doing it myself. Your process of structure then posts might be how I’ll tackle it. Great videos 🤙
I constructed a Large Deck with Railing, Balusters, Lights & Outlets by using your videos as Motivation & Inspiration. (I called out for help .. friends came through .. Thanks).
I am in awe. The deck looks great and I love how you kept making improvements as your went along. I particularly like listening to your descriptions. You used
carpentry language but made it understandable for the watcher. Awesome job!
My 5 year old and I both really enjoyed watching this video. I like your teaching style.
Wow AAMAZING!!
The drilling process was 🧘🏾♀️ therapeutic
😂😂. Great job!! 👏🏾👏🏾
HAHA, Thanks!
Yo - much respect for being able to take criticism and apply the feedback that was given on the previous video. Good man.
Looks great! I think the perimeter lighting may look better to you if it had something to shine on other than just grass. White stone or light-colored river rock just might do it.
I really like this guys honest, and wholesome approach! Cheers to you, friend, you’ve given me hope in building my own Deck.
Totally agree. That's what I was trying to say in my comment.
Tidy job as usual Glen ...looks great! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm waiting to see the comments from the deck-sperts! 😉
I watched both videos like 10 times and I am almost done with my deck. Thank you. Great video very details
It's beautiful! And you've inspired me to keep doing my research and hopefully attempt something like this myself! Thanks Glen!
I'm glad you addressed the joist hangers and lag bolts. Here in NY, its required for to be up to code to have them for all decks.
Great process. I'd love to see you build a pergola on top of the deck!!!
With such a precious assistant , everything is easier!!
Wow! Great deck project! The finished product looks really, really nice. Well done sir.
Seriously impressed. I was googling recycled plastic boards, found trex and then went to youtube to learn how to build a base. Maybe it's google magic, but I found your video first. Great work. I will definately use this solution to improve my home. PS I'm also a Glen.
I love your deck well actually, I love all your builds. I would love to see you build your little princess life size doll house.
Hey Bro,
Probably one of the coolest DIY channels around. Watched heaps and no one is as in-depth, self-critical and awesome as you. This is gold and I cannot thank you enough for this. Amazing work and I hope you're loving your deck. It's rad!
Glen! You did it again! Great looking deck brother!
Thanks, Bro :D!
Very nice work. So happy to see you including your daughter. I used to follow my dad around everywhere to see what project was next. ❤️
How do you dislike a video of a man building a deck?🤔💭⁉️
lol, maybe the deck is too gray.
Did ya ever see the skit by the Blue Collar Guys talking about their decks? Maybe the two whiners have small "decks".
@@DIYCreators Glenn, you misspelled "GREAT"!😁
Contractors who dont like the idea of do-it-yourself decks?
Contractors who dont like the idea of do-it-yourself decks?
As usual, a great and professional result. Thanks, I’m learning so much from you. Maybe one day I’ll be bold enough to post something that I’ve made. Lovely to see your daughter included in what you do. Well done 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Now I want to dismantle my deck and build one like yours! Looks so good... good job man! (My deck sucks now)
Brilliant video. Don’t know what you do for a living but you could easily make a living fitting decking. Excellent job.
Incredible and so well explained. Looks awesome!
Way to go. I like your style! And, I LOVE that you involved your daughter in the sanding! Really enjoy your commentary.
At 4:45 when I saw that hat you were wearing I thought "is he trying to pick up satellite stations or is it to stop him from pawing at his head" lol.
Lmao 😂
Thank you for making a video of your work and educating the public! Victoria, Toronto, Canada.
Hey Bro that is so awesome and with the lights you Killed it very nice later :)
Thanks, bro!
Absolutely the best DYI deck build I have seen. THANK YOU!
The only thing I hate about composite decking is how absurdly hot it gets.
great video man the detail and explanation is so good a blind man could build this deck just by listening to you
Really love this look, only thing that bothered me was I figured you would recess the lighting flush with the deck but they stick out a little haha, but still an awesome job as always!
Swiftblade Specials If you recess the lights they won’t shine on the steps 👍🏻
Its 2020... Category 500 hurricane hits... Only thing standing for 30 miles is this deck!! I love it!!
5:53 it was at this moment I knew you lived in Florida lol
Not only did a fantastic job but also explained step by step. Simply a great video.👍👍👍And love your little helping hand. so well done to her as well
I imagine you know by now, but those LED strips don't do well on super long runs. The power drops over long runs and the LED's will actually get dimmer the further away from the power source they are.
You did a good job. We just put railroad ties on the ground, lined them up on 16 inch centers, filled the spaces between them with coarse sand and put the pressure treated lumber on top and atteched them with 3 inch coated deck screws. It has been out in the weather out here in the mountains for over 20 years and I've only had to replace one board due to cracking.
Am not feeling the LED 😔 but the rest is magnificent 👌
It will look nice at night
4:32 I need some rubber boots like that!
Ahaha, ok those are the cutest
This guy is a beast. Love how he quickly shrugged off the criticisms from last video, by taking the criticism and addressing it. I could see myself copying this guy except for the way he supported the posts. I hope I could actually copy this.
If it were me, I'd be using a respirator when sanding treated lumber and composite material. I don't want that crap in my lungs.
Glen you've been a busy guy! Love seeing yr little girl helping! Mine is now 3. Been following you since the platform bed 6 yrs ago. Those who are new, G's all about styling w LED lighting lol...jks- love the projects and the advice as you go. Sayin hey from Toronto!
Bro I’m stealing this lol where can I buy the blue prints
As always, truly Fantastic! Loved seeing your little one help. She was also AMAZING. Being a woman, I hope you'll teach her how to build.
1:33 - "Time to get this deck on the road (sic!)" The whaa. . .?
"on the roll". Meaning to keep going or get on with it.
Really like your deck. We are building a deck for our pool and hot tub using the Trex Foggy Wharf. We are also picture framing that color with Clam Shell. We are about halfway done with it but I am very pleased with how it looks. Really changes the look of our entire back yard. Great video. Tons of good info.
This guy is a top level craftsman, inspiration and also a great rolemodel to his kids. Love this channel.
Nice job Glen...........especially for your first deck. Quality little touches make it yours !!!!!
"Where did he get all those wonderful tools!" (Jack Nicholson reference from the first Batman) I'll be watching about 20 times more while I tackle our replacement deck. Thanks for putting this together and filming it Glen. Looks awesome. (I thought I had the tools to handle the project. You have tools that fix tools...)
Same here brother
