I’ve seen a lot of bull shit decks that are easily done, lazy craftsmanship. Though this video is a little on the advanced side. This is a legit deck. It really doesn’t get much better than this. It was brilliantly laid out. No chatter. No dumb music. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve watched over 30 videos tonight and this is the one.
How can people legally get away with all the permits and codes. Do they just not ever planning to sell the house so it doesn’t matter
They dont it bites them in the ass when the property value is assesed and the plans dont show a deck than they get fined ans it has to be inspected ans than they get a permit@carlindurfee7566
My father built two decks around our house one summer when I was kid. This really makes me appreciate what he did. Because he made it seem like it was just another day in the park.
I found the chapters in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.
Perfect timing brother. I’m making one very soon.
I hope you got your building permit.

One of the most straight forward, comprehensive videos I’ve seen explaining each step…and I’ve built decks before. Very well done without making the video unnecessarily long like others.
Late to the party but wanted to let you know you are a great teacher! I appreciate your eye for detail and the craftsmanship of your work!!
Man i swear , i did framing with my step father for 3 years and hated every day of it , but could never figure out why. Then i watch this man's videos and realise that everything we did was the hard way not the smart way.
Because nobody pays their bills in construction that's why I quit in the 90s and started driving semi no more begging for your paycheck
One thing you did wrong. I didn't see a beer throughout the entire video. You can't build an outdoor structure, without the presence of a frosty beverage.
What about 16:02 ?
@@meelis79 It could be. I'm not sure. It could be a Red Bull. Or, it could be a Coors Light. Coors Light still doesn't qualify as beer, however. But, good eye.
👍👍🍺🍺😂😂
Patriot4TheTree Real men drink PBR 😂
Ah such a good comment! Now the real question is.... IPA, or no IPA?🤔
You know it's late when you're watching ''how to build a deck'' when you dont even own a house!
Same lool
Don’t have a house. Don’t have any tools. Don’t have the time, money, or patience. Definitely too late lmao
Lmao hilarious
@Andrew Pingwin Preach!! 😂😂
@BigDaddyMattable its 4:07am for me LMAO ;D .
This DIY home improvement video on deck building was fantastic. It not only saved me a ton of money on labor but also gave me the confidence to take on more DIY projects. Highly recommended!
This was freakin perfect. Well laid out steps to follow, the way shots were filmed and their transition, and the way you speak flows. Thank you! Retreat center projects in the redwoods!
This is the best video I've seen on the basics of this project. Will be watching it about 20 more times before we start ours this spring! Thanks so much!
I started my deck about 2 weeks ago following this video and oh my god I feel like superman! Super easy to follow and while it will take some time (5 foot woman with not much for strength) for me to finish, I'm very excited! I've gotten more help with the sections I don't feel comfortable doing and I'm having someone build the stairs for me since I don't even want to attempt that and mess up what I've done. This is tiring work but has been worth it already. THANK YOU!!! Anybody that thinks you can't do this, you're more than wrong! You can! And you will! So satisfying!
So glad to hear that. Enjoying your finished deck will be 10 times more rewarding since you built it!
How much is it costing you?
As a self-made handyperson, this was the best and most helpful deck video yet. The key points that you touched on pretty much answered all of the detail I have been struggling with ie ending with a full deck board
Amazing! You saved my new job with this video. I'm a project manager of a small construction company. I have to bid out all materials and labor. I haven't done this in 20 yrs since my husband passed. We had our own small construction company. God Bless You my dear!
Larry Haun taught me what my father never did.
This guy is to the point, practical, step by step, and even puts in some humor and humility.

I thank you one and all who keep this content posted.
Tip for those building a deck.. Increase the beam size using a free beam calculator like forte, increases the distance it can span unsupported.. Then you don't have to dig as many footings. Cost is usually a wash. Great video!
I’m 23 I’ve been building decks for about a year now and it’s honestly the one thing that makes me feel like I accomplish things in life. Wish I would’ve chose trade school before I racked up $30k in student loans but I live and learn. Hope more young people get into trades.
Sir how long it takes to build a beautiful and durable deck?
No matter how we all ended up here, we're glad we did! Thanks Third Coast Craftsman, this was very educational.
Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Those footings are massive! As a deck builder Its rare to find a customer who is comfortable with the extra cost. Im glad to see you put in the extra effort and didnt shy away from a difficult task! Keep up the good work!
Never seen the speed square under the tape trick when laying out your joists. Looks very effective!
Great video! One of these days I’ll get around to rebuilding my deck and I’ll refer back to this again. Thanks!
Now that's how you build a sturdy good quality deck. Great job! Best I've seen.
All done without a framing nailer, palm nailer and GRK lag bolts. Oh and last but not least a quick drive for the floor boards. You guys are awesome!
Beautifully done and very well thought out! Thanks for sharing your knowledge... I only wish when I build our deck next spring I do half as good a job! Thanks again!
Im a badass welder fabricator worked very lil with wood but watching this has helped. You do great work man thanks for the lessons
Thank you so much. You are a very considerate person. You also seem very smart. We're purchasing our first home and this is the first upgrade it so badly needs. Thank you for making this video!
Very good demonstration of how to build a "floating" deck with no ledger board connection. Makes it easier because you don't have to worry about properly sealing/flashing the ledger which a lot of people don't get right. I would much rather dig extra footings than use a ledger connection.
@LOWES get my man a bigger miter saw!!! This was a great video explaining this process. I am currently stressing building a new deck and this has really helped me calm my jets. Thanks brother.
Really nice work!! Thanks the most for mentioning the deck builder app on Lowes web site!!
My wife and I just bought a house. I haven’t done anything like this before. But I’m going to give it a try
any updates? did you get the deck built ?
Great job and very well thought out, using this as the basis for my deck! Thanks for the help
Im in comstruction but i still never get tired of watching things getting built
Great video I love how you explain the math and steps - I really liked the railing explanation. Nice job and Love your dog, he's quite the stickler for making sure your work is impeccable!
This is perhaps the best video I've seen on building the foundation for a deck.
I did enjoy watching this video and I learned some things.
Great overall explanation to building a deck. At first I thought this was a giant commercial for Lowes, but by the end I was pleasantly impressed.
Thanks for this video.
…and another lunch hour flashes by! Great work and a great watch. Thanks!
Im taking structural analysis now and we’re going over load calculations for girders and beams. So this is pretty interesting to me!!
I know this posted 4 years ago, but thank you so much for explaining every step of the way💜💜
This is good. You cover everything well, give solid advice, and you don't waste time.
This was a thing of beauty!
Thanks to your help, I was able to complete my deck in just under 17 minutes!
what size is the deck and how many people on the job. a 12f X 16f deck takes 4 guys 1 and a half days to complete
There's always that one guy whose head it just flies right over
😂😂😂
Lax God It’s a joke 😆
This was by far the best video of building a diy free standing deck on TH-cam. I just completed the demo of my crumbling concrete steps and built a small 6’x7’ porch following this video. Only difference was that my beams and deck board run parallel to the house instead of perpendicular.
I noticed he never used a level upon building the foundation, can u pls explain why not..I'm a novice.
Ty
@@joshgold6165 He leveled the line after pouring the concrete and cut the supporting posts tot the height of the line. Each post might be a different height because of diffferences in the concrete height, but the tops will be level (with a deliberate, slight downslope for rain runoff)
Just built my first 8x8 floating deck just on deck blocks for a mobile home. My Bosch dot laser was a game changer to shoot in the height of my posts. I learned alot from this video to make things easier for next time. So thank you.
I can not thank you enough for this video! Helped me so much at my first crack building a deck!
I love your work and your dog he is the Best inspector
Pretty good video. Bonus for telling people to let the wood season before coating with anything. One issue though, in all my years of construction the one thing an inspector will tell you to correct, is the lack of gap in the decking. You could be fishing those boards out of the ocean, but it's still better to finish nail as a spacer to avoid a headache.
Amazing job! To sit back and look at the finished product must feel good.
Excellent,Beautiful,Magnificent!
I would like to suggest incorporating benches into the railings because, that nice big deck is going to get real small
after they add furniture, a grill, coolers, and friends!
The single best deck build video I have seen! Well done Chris and thank you for ALL of the information and video footage. Very helpful!
This was one of the most informative videos I've seen so far, thank you!
Love the hurricane ties, you do great work brother, thanks for sharing. Just coming back to building decks after about ten years in reno . Wanted to see what’s changed, looks much the same for wood builds tho. Appreciate the tutelage thanks
Thanks for this video! Used it as a reference for today. My 11 year old son and I needed to build a smaller deck. Thank you!
Круто! Всё быстро, чётко и аккуратно. И древесина видно хорошая
Vlad, could not have said it better myself!
Great build and simple explanations. One thing to mention, and maybe I missed it, is to call utility companies to come mark lines before digging post footings. Always learn something watching your vids. Thanks man.
Always call Dig Safe before hand, indeed.
As someone who inspects construction for a living, this was fun to watch! :)
Thank you for not adding obnoxious music to your montage. It makes it so much more enjoyable to watch.
I'm not in the construction bizz anymore, but its always great to revisit memory lane. Highest I've built is a 2 story house. Wish I had the chance to build a concrete slab warehouse/building before I left, but watching a deck getting built is fine.
nigga unemployed☠☠☠
nice job bro... nothing like watching work on ur day off lol... you should do a second video of the stain and landscape part
Thanks for the video, I work for landscaping company were we do a wide range of installations from patios to wraparound decks, and I wanted to be prepared before show up at the job site, since I have to know so much about so many different skills hahaha
I'm finally about to build the deck outside my sliding glass door, this helps a ton, THANKS ✌️♥️🌲🍄
The dog back like the supervisor/boss most check everything :)

Thanks for making this video! I just finished my deck-build this weekend based on this design, and I consulted this video probably 1000 times to finish my project. Thanks for making this content!
This is fantastic! I am learning to price residential remodels; I need to understand all the pieces and all the steps that go into the remodels to price it. I've watched this video 4 times, consecutively, to really understand the work. Now, I need to go build me a deck to prove I can! LOL
Thanks. I am a General but mostly a maintenance Carpenter.
I do lots of deficiencies, and a ton of installations.
I watched the entire video, because currently rebuilding a deck and I wanted a review.
As I’m sure you know
Lowe’s sells pre-cut stair stringers for short rises.

I don’t understand why anyone could dislike this video. You guys did an amazing job. Great commentary also.
@Liam O’Neil 😁
Hey Chris, it’s Chris! Sorry it’s taken me so long to say hello whoever I just wanted to reach out and say congratulations on all of your recent success and this deck build was absolutely an inspiration! Definitely going to put one in my backyard after the winter! Also that 45° cut you did on all of the railings at once… Genius!!
Take care brother
Thanks so much man!! Much appreciated!
you make it look so easy, I just designed a deck for a firm in texas using camo hidden fastening system
Your build quality is the best I've seen yet. Thanks for the video.
I'm a fan of ceramic 3" deck screws. Stays tight for the life of the structure
Nice video! No need for the joist hangers on the rim board though. I guess you could use them upside down since the rim board is hanging from the joists. Hangers are only necessary if the joist is butting into its support piece without being supported within 4’ of the connection.
I wish I’d seen this comment before building my deck. The upside down joist hanger is a pretty good idea. You could use them for and they would provide extra support for the rim joist, facing, and rails. They could also be easier to attach. The main thing they do right side up is help align your nails for toenailing on the inside of the rim. Doing that also does attach the hanger to the joist, which then is attached to the rim. So that does provide some support but not as much as the other way.
Thanks mate, great video for me. My plan is to build a new deck next year as summer is on its way in South Australia.
Thanks for the guidance.
Wow you did an awesome job! You made it look soo easy! I know it's not! This is the best video I've seen on deck building!
beautiful work, you're an inspiration!
Wow someone that knows what they are talking about. I'm in the trade and I laugh at 90% of the videos I watch. You are very informative and thorough. I enjoyed the video, great work!
If your in the trade then you should know this deck is very cheap and half assed lmao
I agree I'm in the trade and this is the standard way to build a deck and it's very well explained except for the Hangers wich are unnecessary
I about to build a deck for my swimming pool. The information here is pure gold.
There are some good comments. Lots of good laughs from them 😂 this is the best TH-cam video I've seen in a long time.
You are so talented and a great teacher to your team. This video was amazing... I can’t wait for my husband and I to do ours !! Tooo excited.
A nice clean deck job, what a great improvement to that house for years to come!
This is the Cleanest & beautiful deck building tutorial I have ever seen , jesus ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I came to learn how to build the deck. and fall in 💘 with the puppy.
13:02 ...why i love the metric system....great job btw
that's nothing, wait till you do some strenght calculations in mechanical engineering, thank god i'm schooled in metric... all kinds of crazy correction factors
60/4=15 ... so 15 free to 13 full ... easy quick mental calculation so I learned that ... am German
Exactly
metric better anyways
That spacer looks rougly 99mm wide
Great video with a lot of great tips! 🙂I notice you did not mention the header where it attaches to the house. In Washington state that is a critical attachment and there is specific hardware you are required to use. Also, in Washington, the deck install must be permitted before installation, and deck framing must pass inspection before you are allowed to install the actual decking. The impact of not doing this could be an inability to sell your home, or refusal of insurance to pay for parts of your home if fire damaged. The main point being, local building departments should be contacted prior to beginning work. Some states and municipalities are picky, some not so much. 😉
I wish I knew about that when my contractor built my home and 2nd story deck. LOL I have to take it down and rebuild it properly as it MOVES alot from my cats walking on it.
I've built a lot of decks, you are spot on!! Good job!!
Really attractive deck. Really complements the house. Well-done video also: clear, easy to follow.
Dang, I was just THINKING about putting a deck on the back of my house. Hadn't told anyone, not even my wife. FBI agents really got my back these days🤔
Gabe Larsen creepy isn’t it?
YOUR A DUMB SMARTASS(DUMBASS) ! WE DONT NEED YOU HERE. PEOPLE ARE HERE TO LEARN, WE DONT NEED SMARTASS COMMENTS LIKE YOURS .
my neighbors built a deck last weekend and this popped up on my feed today.....
@@markvylonis you're*
Ik we do. Everyone has a personal fbi agent. And then we have a cia agent and then well idk whats aboce that bc it classified
Make sure to ask your local inspector.....you’re a funny guy
My local what?
Live free or die🇺🇸
I did ask Inspector Clooso and he recommended a haambuuga.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yup

Thanks for this great video. I originally wanted the holodeck from Star Trek but this gives me belief that a deck for my home is within reach.
Because of you I now build decks enjoying the awesomeness of great pay and my own schedule 😲 thanks cousin!
Wife bought me my first tool set today. Taking it back in the morning after watching this.
Ha ha what did you get? What do you have now?
@@Mike-gz4xn Ryobi at the time. Now i have Milwaukee.
I've never seen a deck build without attaching the ledger board to the house. I never knew that was an option. Thanks for the video. Nice job.
Wonder if he did but didn’t show it. Either way I didn’t see any flashing on the ledger board. If it’s a freestanding deck which does not require the ledger board be attached, I would think you’d see a gap between the house and ledger board. Good video though.
Deck work was always my favorite. Sweet job, keep it up
Great video and Ute steals the show!
That is a nice project and I am viewing this video because I want to add a small deck on the back of my house. I hired one guy to make steps for my front, but want to do this myself and in the process save money also.
Sidney Mathious Do it my man! It may not be perfect. But it’ll be yours. Be safe!
I learned more from this video than in a dozen other videos I’ve seen on TH-cam.
wow man what a killer video! bookmarked. i cant wait to get my deck built this spring. thanks for the vid!
Came here to learn how to build a deck but remembered my wife already knows everything...
Mr. Kitty Ah, I think I saw her comment the day. She goes by the name Ms Google.
Bahahahaha
Dead 💀 😂😂😂
Lmfao that so dam true if you need to know a answer to a question don’t go to google jus go to your wife 😂
@@chrisvegaofficial5811 , but then you have to go back and repair it when she's not around...
Nicely done. Good info for harry homeowner and some tips for us worker guys. I just finished a 24'x12' one with a 8'x8' wrap around. Stairs at both ends. I learned to trim the joists to length after installing most of the deck boards the hard way years ago. I hate seeing a partial board on projects like this. I notch my railing posts the same way, but on this one I also mortised the 2x4's into the posts leaving them about 3/8th proud. Did that on a whim and like the look. I do like your short bottom piece connecting the lower rail boards at the corners. I miter mine but will consider that on the next job. Thanks for making this video. kcb
Great vid and techniques man! This gave me a great baseline for my deck and it was a success! Thank you
That was some real craft man skills there. Love that hammer. Thanks for the video!
Graet job! I hope that the gaps between boards will be wide enough for wood movement. Regards!
Also needs more spacing to avoid the buildup of moisture. A strong, nice deck don't mean shit if the wood rots slowly over the next couple of years.
Yeah he screwed up there. You gap the boards with a speed square when they are NOT dry, that way you will always have a gap for drainage.
