A buddies deck was built by the previous homeowner about a year before they put the house on the market. They tried to save money in some places but not in others. The deck is built on 4x4 posts spaced 10' apart. No beams with a single rim joist set straight on top of the posts with a couple screws toenailed in for the only attachment. The joists are 24" centers, there isnt even any blocking. The boards are composite and definitely sag. How that thing hasn't collapsed yet I have no idea as I'm positive the only thing that has kept it from flying off is the 8x8 hot tub sitting on top of it. There is soo much bowing under the tub that it would act as a gloor drain in a basement. I refuse to walk or be anywhere near that thing when I'm at his house. Hell, if we're in the backyard for a bbq I walk around and go through the front door if I need to use the restroom.

Thanks. Nice video. What's the crow's foot all about?

I love American people. Honest, hardworking, generous.

I just had a 16x34 (544 sq feet) deck built and the contractor put in 16 posts. Do you think he put in too many?

if you want your deck to be up to code and pass inspection make sure the beams are fully seated on the post, so notch out 3 inches from the 6x6! load bearing is the most important thing here..

What is kind the bliuding

What’s the cost to build this deck

Excellent video. Musi is awful. Had to turn it off.

What is the name of that tool to acquire it in the USA?

Can you please tell us more about sub frame and joist size you used

Those threaded bolts are a good idea. Thank you for sharing this video.

You were overtightening the shit out of them screws

VERY nice deer stand 👍🏼

Great video what were your time lapse settings?

Gonna copy your design that's how I picture it in my head for my house

Straight to the point, no bull shit deck build. Awesome job fellas. I'm really digging the cantilever supports. Definitely adds character to the build.

👏

And for only the price of a swimming pool...

Um you skipped over a bunch of shit. Like how do you come up with 33 inches run? Like is it to do with width of board you are using? Also im not sure what code you are following to only have 6 inch rises.....pretty shitty video skips over too much details.

Outstanding work my friendos, I only wish the video was half an hour long . Just to see all the details . God bless you all in Jesus name . Thank you 🙏

Fuck yeah that was so sick

Just so I'm clear: do the three rods that are protruding out get fastened to deck joists in any way to provide lateral support? My guess is you now just put up hangers on the ledger board, because your rod has tied your ledger to the house laterally. Thanks for the great video.

How deep did you go on the footers?

Neat

How long did it take?

At 0:20, what are the 3 sections that have something sticking out? what are these things anchored to and what is their purpose? Great deck!!

Nice video, how are you connected to the joist inside the house? Did the deck joists line up parallel to you floor joists on the inside?

Just what I needed to know. Thanks for posting this.

I get why some DIY guys get some details wrong. But the amount of crappy work by so called professionals is insane.

so those ledger lock bolt dont go into floor joists? Wouldnt the blocking boards be to weak to support the weight of deck if ledger lock bolt were in those instead of joist ends?

Thank you... getting ready to build out a loft in our barn/shop, and I need to hang glulams and joists about 13' off the floor, but the floor's not going to be reliably level enough. Wondered how you'd actually get the laser level mark high enough... duh. Nice simple explanation. Thank you.

great job! what's the weight limit on a deck like that? also what would you say is an appropriate estimate?

All those nails in the end of of that outside beam weaken the wood and it will split out eventually.

Putting all the seems in middle is lazy

I agree with this video… but you would not believe the amount of videos on here that say in order to pass code the post and beam connection needs to be the way it was originally, prior to you fixing it. I build mine the same way as you and for the exact reason you stated the other way was failing

I like 12 center for decking. I like that. Good job I'll also do flat blocking around the perimeter in pt (and mids) so that I can get a perimeter in decking. Then split the the decking half or in thirds perpendicular. Router each edge... The outcome is phenomenal.

Why not a 4x12 pt instead. It would be more solid.

Wasted my time here. Unhelpful.

Probably should have put water proof tape on top of the support beams since they will rot faster with rain coming through space of composite decking. Hate seeing hard not have longevity but it looks good.

"PromoSM"

cause math is hard /s

yes

That's a dramatic improvement

Thank you so much. I will be making my own decking soon. I have no clue what I am getting myself into.

Check your local code in our area (Detroit suburbs) - your NOT to notch posts but some areas you can. You never hang from the side though www.macomb-mi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3378/Residential-Wood-Deck-Construction-Guide

Very nice work. I believe a lot of people underestimate what it requires to put a hot tub on a deck.

try 4k at most with the tub filled and 2 dudes and 4-5 chicks

It looks like you installed that flashing tape top down instead of bottom up.

I have a crazy question the ledger board and footing how do you determine there heights

The greatest directional force on your deck post is downward (gravity), supporting the deck and also furniture, people, etc. The taller uncut section of the 6x6 post is there to deal with lateral forces, which aren't as great as the gravitational forces. Additionally, my deck inspector told me he will not ok a deck that has "overhanging" (not fully supported) deck beams. They must be fully seated by the post shoulder.
