    been staring at my recently built deck for 3 days trying to figure out a good way to frame my steps. NOW I HAVE IT! THANK YOU!!!!

    I just tore the railings off my floating deck and thought about putting a wrap around stair. Wasn't sure if I would need to pour cement all the way around first (groan). Your video and method were exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

    Might want to also note , once you cut those end off they are no longer treated . Always seal your cutt end !! Your the man buddy love the videos

      Is that still the case? I’ve heard that they are completely treated now.
      Edit: the ones in the video definitely not treated all the way, so your comment still stands true.

    Love the steps. Do you have any suggestions for the same type of deck and steps but, for a floating deck that's built on a significant slope? I have a 20'×24' floating deck and need a good idea for steps along just 3 sides, on a slope. The front is 1" to 5" off the ground but, the rear is 4' to 4.5' off the ground.

    Standard rise and run is 'approximately' 7 inches rise to a 10 inch tread. This is not arbitrary, it is a real carpentry rule of thumb. There is room to flex this set of dimensions but always try to add the rise and run for stairs to a 16 to 18 inch maximum.
    When you step 'deck' levels up and down, the run goes away because people are stepping onto a 2 foot deep area or an entire new level or even larger proportions. BUT ONE THING REMAINS CONSTANT to observe...the rise should remain near the 7 inch step size. If you do not follow this rule of thumb, you are creating trip hazards. This particular TH-cam Video is double violation as you step off the lawn you might have a 10 to 7 inch rise to over come but shortly thereafter, you run into a rise of approximately 5 inches. If you are like my friends and you have a drink or two, it is possible you will stub your toe, loose your flip-flop, or fall flat on your face with the changing level rises like this deck has.
    YSK a seasoned carpenter or veteran deck builder will not build like this how to video.

    hey! could you post the video of how you did the actual deck itself on the concrete patio. I'd love to see that video.

    Great job. For the so called professional people with the “what I would have done”, keep that to yourself, the way I see it, if you were so professional, you wouldn’t be watching and criticizing these videos. That’s why these are DO IT YOURSELF vids. Keep the great videos coming Sir.

    Never put your hand that close to where you're shooting a nail gun. If you hit a knot in the wood it would send a nail out the side of the wood right into your hand.

    I see that your sideway is butted up against the deck. I want to go over my sidewalk instead of tearing it up. Can I put the support blocks on existing sidewalk?

    you really want an air gap between your box frame and rim joists to give that water somewhere to go.

    I'm curious why you'd use Douglas fir, as opposed to cedar or redwood for your step material? Rot will come soon, even if you stain and seal the crap out of it.

    • @BrentDaughertyMe
      @BrentDaughertyMe 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheaper. Doug Fir is rated for about 10 years outdoors without treatment. With maintenance stain/paint you could easily double that.

    • @yeti7520
      @yeti7520 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BrentDaughertyMe You can triple that with stained pressure treated wood.

    • @BrentDaughertyMe
      @BrentDaughertyMe 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@yeti7520 Yea, but that brown hemlock fir they sell in the pressure treated section around here is covered with ugly tiny holes. He used pressure treated wood for the ground contact framework, but it doesn't look good for the front facing.

    the showing end grain on the boxes, in front, is ruining it for me. Seems like it would have been a simple fix to make the front boards be in front of the side boards.

    • @christineefreeman505
      @christineefreeman505 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing. It IS a simple fix to hide those end grain pieces. He puts so much thought into building around the concrete footers, I'm surprised he found that acceptable.

    Wrap around steps height is too high, not proportional for stepping down.. Needs to be lower by at least a 2 inches.
