Brilliant video guys!👍. The detail that you go into, in terms of actually showing exactly how to measure and space properly is so important and really helps novices like me. Thank you and keep up the good work.
So I've built my deck this summer already, but watched these guys start to finish, as they have packed lots of great tips and info in general. Well done, quality work and tips!🎉🎉🎉
I don’t need to write any detail, it’s all in the video! Great work, just in time for my deck as well in the UK, appreciate the effort and easy step by step guide 👍👍
I subscribed, which is rare for me, to show my appreciation for the informative videos and tutorials you create. There aren't many resources like this available in the UK, so I value your hard work and willingness to share your trade skills. Thank you, lads!
wow, what a bunch of legends. I'm working over in the netherlands and miss the british vibes here, very square and serious folks here. Cheers for a good video and info. Legends
Quality tutorial, perfect tips, very helpful, well done guys, kinda funny how negative comments from the ones who like to make them selves look better, but yet you don't see them having the balls to make a video.. Well done fellas 👏 👏 👍
Brilliant video. No filler and chaff but still get your personality in it. Great run through all the techniques needed. I’ve laid a few before but nice to get a reminder and some new ideas in before I start my next one. It’s lovely to have this info just wish I had a bit more money so i could just book you up to do it all for me! Just got to the end… are there two of you or is this the edit 😂, subscribed and i’ll watch more to find out.
Excellent video with plenty of tips. Question: shouldn`t you treat cut boards with preservative? If you go to protect the joists with tape, why overlook these cuts?
Brilliant ❤🎉 love this video I've finally had chance to watch it all instead of in bits can't wait for the next one ❤ are you putting any deck lights in?
Great tutorial!! I have an uneven surface to start - would it be okay to just lay some sand or do i have to concrete over to level it ? also, this deck is much higher than the original ground, would it be possible to make it lower?
17:08 "...a four by four treated post"...or as they say where I live "four be four". And the old guys pluralise 'posts', even though it's already plural...postses.
I've just finished building my new deck, I used the same deck boards as you've used, but I did a lot of research and the actual right way to lay the deck boards is deep ridges down to allow airflow. My old deck was ridges up, A carpenter did it 17 years ago, I was scourged with water pooling etc, basically it wasn't done properly. I also made sure to make it slightly higher from the house, so water flows easily off the boards. My joists and boards are opposite to yours, so running toward the garden.
Ive been watching your carpet videos great job btw. Could you do a video on how to cut carpet from a giant carpet roll like 12×113 for instance. How to measure a room To cut carpet from the roll and also how to measure and cut carpet for stairs from the big roll too? Would be a load of help to us all.
Hi, great vids and great deck. Just wanted to understand how can the board above the joist hangers sit level with the adjoining board? The galvanised straps look to be several mm higher. Do you just angle the first board back or shim the adjoining boards?
Excellent work guys really helping my in my project iv got lined up, can I ask the question of how would secure down a decking that’s not connected to a house ? I’m doing mine at the bottom of the garden on top of an old patio but don’t want it floating as such ? So exactly the same as you did on this but not secured to anything apart from the floor
Nice video, as usual. However, it seems a tad incongruent to box in all of the drains and downpipes if there is a need in the future for inspection and/or maintenance, without having to disturb and/or remove the decking or sections. Also, ia there going to be issues with bolting rhe deck up to rhe house so as to potentially be allowong water to sit near the wall, or will the render protect it? And, was there any fall or gradient considered to help witj water run off away from the house?
Thanks there where removable inspection covers for all the drains and a stop clock 5 total with regards to bolting to wall never had an issue but may modify the design on future builds to avoid just that and yes we missed that 1% fall to left hand side 😊
You lot are the bollocks I dont know f-all about DIY but I can chill my nut right out watching these when work and the kids etc are doing my swede in. Love it. Might get and do a bit myself one day
So you bolted wood to the outside wall? That a big no no, as you has breather bricks at that level and you have just blocked them up. You should have small pillars close to the wall and use them to put the cross plank on. This leaves a small gap between the wall and the decking. So the air brick at the bottom can breathe and water can run off. The same as the decking should be 1 or 2 mm difference from the brick wall end to the outer end so water can run off. The same as every bit of wood cut or drilled need to be treated to re-protect the wood. You wouldn’t need so many bearers, if you had the right amount of feet. So many little mistakes.
How deep should I dig the post holes into the ground if I have a lawn? Could I alternatively dig 20cm into the ground, fill with strong concrete, sit the posts onto it above ground, and bolt them as you have?
@homeimprovements would that be to put the posts INTO the concrete or to fill 300mm of concrete, let it set and then put blocks ON TOP of it and bolted to the joists?
@homeimprovements there has been a big debate this topic over the years from tradesmen lol, but think doesn't really matter what way they are installed 🤨
Flat side up ? I here people say ita the correct way ,but why does everyone have the grooves up instead ? Is there a difference with grip or not? Also if doing it flat side up can u get a none slip paint for it
you should also cut your decking boards at a slight angle when butting up two end joins so water and dirt can flow away better in the winter months. /\.side view of two end to end decking boards.
Thank you, I am building my own deck and your video will help. The only thing I wanted to ask should I give a coat of Bitumen paint to the frame of the deck and the cuts to give it extra protection.
I would advise people not to use this video for advice. So the 6x2 you've bolted to the house. 1. You've drilled large holes under the houses damp membrane so rising damp can occur inside the house and cause structual issues. 2. There should be atleast a 20mm spacer between the house and the wood. Water will get inbetween the house and wood and rot the wood. 3. You've made the deck completely level meaning there's no water run off. More wood rot.
🤣🤣🤣 very confident and very wrong damp is no where near the holes we drilled but nice try The timber against the house will do just fine It’s been hammering with rain no standing water on that deck at all
bird brain comment.. If you use the right materials, seal off the joists (as they've clearly done with the tape) and use the correct spacing, then this isn't an issue
@88kwthomas another bird brain comment. Please explain where the rain water will go if it's perfectly level? Or are you saying it's OK for the water to sit as long as the joints are sealed, used correct spacing etc
🤣 Arrrrh They’ve got matching Beards, Tats, Caps and Clothes and acting like a Boy band. We would have had a beating acting like that. It is funny but I’m sure they don’t give a toss what I think and rightfully so. Very good at what they do on some jobs. Don’t drill or put bolts in your damp course. A big no, no. Should have built the decking away from the house. 👍
@@raebae3414 you’re right, they do make them all the time and are called sexist and slated all over social media. I’m not offended, I’m not a snowflake, just pointing out the double standards.
@@davidpclare please lol do not start about double standards in a man’s fucking world where women can not do a damn thing without being judged.. and now women don’t have their own sports or locker rooms/ washrooms because men are so tired of the double standard they want to be women just so they can be on the other side lol

Glad you enjoyed it!
subtle little reference to the Australian deck sealant parody lol, didn't miss that one lads, cracking work as always haha.

best I have seen so far, great job. will try my first this week.
Great video lads, nice too see Jack involved too
Nice one 😁
Best decking video, thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks!
Awesome video guys, I came to see how you did the legs but ended up watching the whole video because it was so good.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
You guys do some excellent work and explained in detail. Well done guys. 😊😊
Thank you very much!😁😁
Making these tings look easy 👏
Nice one mate 😊💪🏼
Honestly the best channel for explaining and helping people out. Top work 👌🏻
I appreciate that! 😊
Great video chaps, I've been looking for exactly this vid. I appreciate the time you've taken to film and edit this. Well done👏
Thank you for you comment, we appreciate your support and hope our video has helped you.
If I was going into the DIY shop for the 16mm fixings you're using to attach the wall plate what are the name of them? @@homeimprovements
You lot explain stuff really well! cheers lads
Nice one mate 😁😁
great video. The clamp gag didnt go unnoticed XD
I’ll be following this video soon great stuff
Love the longer videos....the shorts are a waste of time 😂

Excellent work lads 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Top lads, lovin it
Legend!
Very good, but probably the most over-engineered decking I've ever seen
Best tutorial on the net and I will be cross referencing when I give mine ago. Just a question can I use 4x2 for the joists
Great job boys. Not sure 3mm is enough gap though? When it gets wet it will completely close stopping water from escaping. 👍👍👍
very good
Excellent video with plenty of tips. Question: shouldn`t you treat cut boards with preservative? If you go to protect the joists with tape, why overlook these cuts?
Brilliant ❤🎉 love this video I've finally had chance to watch it all instead of in bits can't wait for the next one ❤ are you putting any deck lights in?
Thanks Elaine 😁
Brilliant video but have a question, how deep would the posts be in the ground if building a deck over soil?
21:05 - look at that magnificent brick work. Must have been done by Stevie Wonder 🤣
Class video
Appreciate it, hope you have a good day 😊
Great tutorial!!
I have an uneven surface to start - would it be okay to just lay some sand or do i have to concrete over to level it ?
also, this deck is much higher than the original ground, would it be possible to make it lower?
Lets hope that drain never gets blocked ;)
Why ? I left 5 access panels 😉
17:08 "...a four by four treated post"...or as they say where I live "four be four". And the old guys pluralise 'posts', even though it's already plural...postses.
Is it an idea to leave 10mm gap from base plate to wall ?
I've just finished building my new deck, I used the same deck boards as you've used, but I did a lot of research and the actual right way to lay the deck boards is deep ridges down to allow airflow.

As always 🙏
Great video guys, what would you use to treat the deck - any recommendations for decking oil or similar? 👍
I like your videos especially your body movements, looks a bit like in a hip hop music video…anyway great content 🎉
thanks 😊
Great video lads, I was looking to do something similar, would I need to worry about the damp course when attaching the joist?
I’ve seen some use spacers to allow a gap down the back 😊
Great video, thanks.
PS How's yer favver?

grand job. good tips as always. don't mean to be a smart arse but should there be a slight fall on the run so rain water runs off?
1% yes 😊
And Phil’s gonna show you ha right na 😂

Same process but if you put some grab adhesive on the bottom of the posts (ct1 grab and bond ) will work a treat 😊
@@homeimprovements excellent would never have thot of that, even if it’s on top of some membrane?

Ah that's super, cheers for the reply, really enjoyable videos and learned a lot from all of your efforts.
Thought grooves went to bottom to allow for airflow
How do you know how much materials you’ll need when pricing?
I rough sketch the frame out 😊
You lot are the bollocks I dont know f-all about DIY but I can chill my nut right out watching these when work and the kids etc are doing my swede in. Love it. Might get and do a bit myself one day

2-300 mm is my go to 😊

10/10............
What size are the Fischer bolts your using?
I have 2 angled walls I want to put decking along. How would I do that?
I got a couple of questions.
- Do you put a space between the house and deck?
- Why not put screws on the hangers?
-
If you watch this one mute it looks like they're all rapping
Nice. But, decking board is upside down?
? There correct for this design of board smooth top normally up but these are grooved both sides
@homeimprovements there has been a big debate this topic over the years from tradesmen lol, but think doesn't really matter what way they are installed 🤨
Why you have that metal/steel hanger in some joists but not all
Nice job but is there a reason for having no fall on this deck ?
Good point but for this decking never seems to hold water (previous builds) so decided against 😊
So you fix the joists into the endgrain?
Flat side up ? I here people say ita the correct way ,but why does everyone have the grooves up instead ? Is there a difference with grip or not? Also if doing it flat side up can u get a none slip paint for it
You guys mention a 16mm anchor bolt but the link you have provided is to a 10mm bolt. is this just a mistake?
Yh must be a mistake 🙈
you should also cut your decking boards at a slight angle when butting up two end joins so water and dirt can flow away better in the winter months. /\.side view of two end to end decking boards.
How did you do the end timbers on the sides of the decking?
Aren't the grooves on the decking supposed to be on the bottom?
They are but I’ve done decks where the customer asked to have the “stripey” side up 🤷🏻♂️
Howdee!
Would screws be ok to hold the hangars up instead of nails?
Screws can snap, seen it happen
Thank you, I am building my own deck and your video will help. The only thing I wanted to ask should I give a coat of Bitumen paint to the frame of the deck and the cuts to give it extra protection.
Sure can 😊
Why do you not treat the cut sections of the boards?
Noted will do in future

It’s like a east 17 vid 😂😂 some unnecessary things going on
12:34 ... all across the what now??? 🙂

? and joining onto blue brick? hmmm
Why would you want it 'perfectly level' ? If that's the case surely water won't run off and it'll rot far sooner than it should.
