For me, the ideas in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
I am a former residential custom framer and am currently ICC certified in the IRC Building Codes. I just read a lot of the replies and so I thought you might want to hear that there is not that much wrong with that deck. It looks great. I add comments below because I still learn from others comments. There's not many people as perfect as Jack .. As far as the back band being fastened to the house I don't see the need for the back 4x4 post except for the where the handrails end. It looks like the bands and joists are 2x8's at 16' o.c. If what these other people are saying is true about not meeting codes where they live, I'm glad I don't live there. There were times I would build a deck at existing homes and I would have 4x4 posts fastened to the back band and concreted 2' into the ground and not fasten the band to the house to allow for movement. But that was a case by case at my own personal discretion. As for the person saying the post needed to be notched. The deck has almost no dead load and 2x8 joists at 16" o,c, spanning only 8' and 2x8 bands are only 8' and 5" between posts with 2 lags per post gives a good live load support for what the deck is designed for. The post notching is actually more dangerous because it weakens the hand rail support when someone leans on it. As far as the guy with the engineering failure reply, The only reason to use cmu blocks is if you want to keep the post above the soil which is a good idea because the treatments used in pressure treaded lumber today doesn't work as well as the cca treated lumber from years gone by. When the post start to rot later on, cut the post just high enough to support them with concrete blocks (CMU's). If the deck is attached to the house I doubt it will go anywhere, but might brace them under the deck to help support the handrails. As far as the reply about the ledgers, you can also get joist hangers or fasten 2x8 blocks to the bands wedged between the joists then fasten the joists to the blocks.
I think the deck looks great, I'm seeing allot of negative comments ,I'm a contractor, in va ...where its a house with a foundation, I would have taking advantage of a ledger board attached through the block with bolts.with that said,there is nothing wrong with the approach used here.in the state of va ,this is the only way to build a deck on a trailer, it is code that the deck cannot be attached to the main structure, so this is perfectly safe .good job guys..the only advice I would give is to wait a couple of months to stain.you probably should let the pressure treated lumber dry out and start to sun bleach just a bit...I have seen the salt brine cause the stain to blister if you don't give it time...other then that beautiful work you should be proud
Yeah if I didn't have tenants moving in immediately, I would have waited much longer to stain...but it's now been over a year since I stained and everything still looks great. Appreciate the feedback!
For all of you that were horrified with how awful this deck build was, just wait until you see the drainage system I put in myself and also the brick paver patio I installed in the backyard. Lots more videos to come if you’re looking for more projects to hate on and rip apart. 😂Subscribe and stay tuned!
Good build, it’s a deck a foot off the ground. People act like you just installed a balcony on the 15th floor with some duct tape and drywall screws! Keep up the good work!
Not a joiner so don’t know much about how you should have built this or shouldn’t have built it but from what I just watched it looked to me you all done a bang up job and it looks great. Very talented.
@@LincolnRoadHomes peole just love to show off their knowledge. Comments like this happen on every do-it-yourself video. It’s actually very comical. Enjoying them immensely.
Deck looks good. Just the part with the rear posts not fastening to the rear ledger, but then again its not even a big deck, and it can be braced after the fact with 2x8 blocks or lateral support from the post (its scary to dig that close to the foundation, you can destroy the moisture barrier for the foundation, so you managed to avoid that with your build). I specifically came here to comment about the "codes" complaints. Unless you have dealt with codes, you don't need to police it. TH-cam surfing videos teaches you different code applications for different states. Personally, i just lifted the foundation on my house under my living room where it sank from a failed block pier supporting a girder under my home (it cracked and the floor started sinking), and had to argue with codes for 5 months straight. Turns out the whole time i was right, because i was technically "overbuilding" and i was supporting 3x the load than required, and every single codes rep had a different opinion (FYI i built off of codes of a combination of states, i live in SC, our own codes department between my county and Columbia didn't have any information pertaining to my project and wasn't able to give me a clear answer on how to proceed when it came to the footers and bracing supports AT ALL). Basically, unless you are running electrical or plumbing, altering the structure of your home or attaching to it, people don't pay attention to them, so don't come on the internet barking at people about it when you probably can't even get off the couch. Be smart, do your research, use logic, and you're more than likely going to do a good job.
Jesus im seeing these comments lol lota Bob villas today lol...I saw one comment stating it needed a support beam lol 😆..it as a freaking 8×10 deck lol wheres the beam going ?? And concrete was used lol , notches are not required on a deck that's knee high..the posts are not carrying a roof ..they are literally carrying a knee high deck. Calm down everyone lol...simple deck done well ,and he did a good job..btw the lags and bolts will do the job..again 8 foot by 10 foot.they literally carried the weight over there lol...nice deck guys.
Haha thank you...I appreciate SOMEone noticing that this isn't a massive deck way high up in the air. It's 8x10 feet, and only a few inches off the ground. Some of these people need some meditation in their lives...or maybe therapy lol. The anger and hate is wild.
great job everything is done right except you should have notched the 4x4's and rested the weight of the deck on the notches and bolt them all together because one day it WILL break and can hurt someone. it won't hold all that weight with the screws and shank screws otherwise it turned out great
Appreciate the feedback. We got this approved by the city, permitted, etc...and it’s an 8x10 deck that is like 6 inches off the ground, so I think it’ll be ok.
Thanks! Unfortunately we couldn’t move the 4x4 posts closer to the house because the cement foundation was in the way, so we had to attach them to the joists.
I think they worked very hard was it cold probably not but it was right next to the ground. But it was more than eight minutes so I don’t know where the eight minute deck came from or the speed it up video was eight minutes?
It did pass inspection and is fully permitted. It’s an 8x10 deck...a few inches off the ground. Based on all the comments, you’d think we had built a 20x50 ft deck 3 stories up with a pit of alligators below lol...
All the wood posts supporting the deck will get rotten quickly beneath ground surface since they are all not covered by cement against water and moisture.
The idea of building it is good but that deck is not safe I don’t see the post with concrete or the sport for the frame, that deck is gonna fail in a couple of years and all the hard work will be gone. Always is good to ask an expert and have a inspection
I sent all the design elements in to the city and everything was approved for this size and height of deck. I stained the deck right away because I had renters moving in pretty much immediately and needed to just get it done. Not a huge deal.
I knew this was totally an engineering fail when the first thing I didn’t see- was the foresight to attach a header channel straight to the CMU block and build the frame off that. Instead pallets for leveling etc. decks like this are why code enforcement matters. The mechanical shoring of this entire structure is not safe. TH-cam = the best and worst part of the internet
Everything is up to code, received a permit using these exact plans...all is good. I’m not telling anyone to build a deck just like this. Do your own research in your own city to make sure you’re meeting your local codes. 👍🏼
This is not even up to code. Must have concrete footings. The 4x4s in the ground will rot 3 to 5 times faster because they are under a load. I agree with they should have waited a season to stain. There's a few other things that arnt up to code but I'm not going to comment everything.
All the posts have concrete footings. Watch 45-49 seconds into the video a little more closely. Yes I could have waited to stain the deck, but needed to get it done so i could take pics and get renters in pretty much immediately. Appreciate the feedback.
@@LincolnRoadHomes shouldn't set them in footers...you add gravel in the bottom of the hole for drainage, place the posts on the gravel and fill with portland....not doing that will just rot the hell out of them
@@LincolnRoadHomes What I meant is that you need at least a 8 in footing down 36 to 48" depending on the area. Then you need a 1/2 in anchor bolt in the concrete with a 4x4 base plate. Will last anywhere from 2 to 3 times longer because there is no treated lumber in the ground.
@@LincolnRoadHomes Well thats good. Everyone makes mistakes and I have been building homes for 10 years. And almost every house I have built had a deck or a wrap around patio. I hope you have a great day.
Anyone watching this, do not build your deck like this, PLEASE...its soooo wrong on sooo many levels....and yes, im a contractor and do this for a living....these are the types of diy'ers that keep me busy....no disrespect for they effort, just not knowledgeable
And who are you jack ? You probably haven't done a hard days work in you short lived... make a app life. That man got permission from his county , busted his ass , and got it done. So sorry it doesn't live up to your little rich boy self entitled, pay someone else to do the work attitude. You should be ashamed to speak to anyone like that... Have some respect , and if you don't agree with how its done.... Then DONT COMMENT , and go on your prissy little way.
To have your family around and do such a magnificent job what a blessing

Appreciate the feedback. Yeah everything was approved by the city.
Very nice.
Deck looks great. You should have used a screw or nail to gap the deck boards for proper drainage / airflow.
Appreciate the feedback! I didn’t want that big of gaps, and natural gaps were actually created anyway as the treated wood dried/shrank.
Amazing work! Solid construction.
Came for the foundation stayed for the music

looks easy to do !!! just I have a question, did you refill the holes only with soil? is that is correct? thank you
We did, but I wouldn't recommend doing that.
Hahaha..where'd all them "helpers " go when it's time to sand and stain (wet treated)!?
Haha it was my family and they all had to head back home, so I was stuck sanding and staining by myself. ✌🏼
Nice deck. I’m looking to do something like this. How much was spend on materials?
Sorry, just seeing this! Honestly can't remember how much everything was. Probably $2000ish?
Looks nice 👍🏻 what color did you stain the wood?
Not sure, but was definitely pretty dark.
great job everything is done right except you should have notched the 4x4's and rested the weight of the deck on the notches and bolt them all together because one day it WILL break and can hurt someone. it won't hold all that weight with the screws and shank screws otherwise it turned out great

I built a deck about the same size without notching the posts. 30 years later it's doing fine
No notch needed he's it will last for yrs! Great job everyone thinks they're Bob Villa!
Looks good. The back 4x4 need to be attached the the layer board, not the joists. I can send you a sample so you can use it on your next deck project.
Thanks! Unfortunately we couldn’t move the 4x4 posts closer to the house because the cement foundation was in the way, so we had to attach them to the joists.
@@LincolnRoadHomes you also use the concrete from house as footing for your deck posts.
Haha yep next time
Exelent brother
Thank you 🙏🏼
I think they worked very hard was it cold probably not but it was right next to the ground. But it was more than eight minutes so I don’t know where the eight minute deck came from or the speed it up video was eight minutes?

It looks amazing- that’s the most frightening part. Honesty matters and being respectful shouldn’t mean not speaking up.
I promise there's nothing frightening about this deck that is literally 6 inches off the ground lol...

Next time, we’ll keep all the wood above ground.
Nice .. use a roller on the flat parts .. much quicker
Didn’t even think of that. Thanks!
Do you have a list of materials used
Do you need a permit for building that?
Could have done a few things differently, but all in all , good job. 👍
Thanks man 🙏🏼
Here in Pennsylvania I am not allowed to build deck like that he would fail inspection
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind if I ever move to Pennsylvania and need to build a deck!
Definition of notch the post carriage bolts are not meant to hold freestanding wait
I didn't see any carriage bolts, I saw lag bolts....besides, they are used in combination with nails, look up Craig Hefermann's 8 x 10 deck.
