      You can also put a skirt board around the deck. Meaning, if you use a 2x10 for your band boards, you then wrap that with a 2x12 to cover the edges of the decking.

      how did you join the picture frame boards on the 40 ft end. im facing that dilema now. thanks

    • @joepowell2619
      @joepowell2619 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      So I live in the upper Midwest, and with that comes extreme cold in the winter and extreme heat in the summer. Composite decking is known for its expansion and contraction with temperature swings. At 40ft long, and the the decking I used being 16ft long, I have 2 seams in each row including the outer picture frame row. With that length, your not going to stop expansion and contraction causing the seams to open up during the colder months. However, one thing you can do to reduce it, and make sure that the seams look perfect when the temperature moderates, is find some color matched trim screws that match your decking pretty well, and screw the boards down about every 8 to 10 inches or so, that will help a lot. Hope this helps your Dilemma!

    • @alexfrederick9019
      @alexfrederick9019 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Joe Powell temp swings = 1"+ of movement on composite fascia. The first job I did I butted the fascia, and it opened up 7/8", leaving a wide open gap.
      Since then I started using a router and doing a half lap for running joints, so at least it has composite material in front of the wood structure.

    Only thing I noticed in relation to the flex tape is, should have continued tape over the edge of joist onto both sides creating a complete seal on the top surface of joists.
    Actually code in many municipalities.

    @danven1256 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree to a point. It does look nicer, but for me I deliberately left it with the ends of the composite decking going all the way to the end because it's easier to clean. Another one of my homes has a nice picture framed deck. It has pressure treated framing but it's rotting now because of the debris that falls down that you can't get out. Because I have oak trees that are near the deck I can pressure wash them off between the boards and all the way off to the end.

    A lot of nice little tips to help with my deck job. Like the plug cutting. I was going from the top and it was making a mess of the surface. Not sure how I can split a board since I do not have a table saw, but I can figure out something. I like the screw idea on the mitered corners too. When it comes to the picture frame, personally I think it's better to not cut the 45s at the house like you did. Too me it's a lot of work for very little esthetic value. Anyway well done and thanks for taking the time.

  • @danbrandt7252
    @danbrandt7252 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey man, very nice, I picture framed mine about 10 years ago, didn’t use the biscuits or screws in the ends of the corners, so now that will be on my mind on the next one 😂, on the side edges of the couple decks that I framed I cut blocking strips down the side of the joists allowing me to have water not sit where you on the other hand have solid blocking, but of course yours may have been a little faster also using the flex tape, which I used on the last deck stringers I did with picture frame, it’s a really nice look, nice video too.
