How to DIY build a modern deck and pergola using Azek in 15 minutes time-lapse?

- I have a 9-5 full time office job like many of you, but it doesn't mean you need to hire someone to transform your backyard into something amazing. Most home improvement projects around the house are DIYable, although some basic skills are required, common sense are far more important. Before you start the project, you need to do enough research, check the bylaws, zoning rules and apply permits (if needed). Most importantly, don't religiously trust all the RUclipsrs or Facebook videos.
This video is a time-lapse of what I did in the last 3 years. I am NOT affiliated with any products or companies, my videos for this backyard project are NOT sponsored. I just want to share my experience and made all these videos to help others. There are many tips, trade secrets and technical details I shared with you, hope you find them helpful. Check out the complete list. The backyard project isn't 100% completed, I will continue to upload more in the coming future.
No Permit Needed?
-------------------------------
Yes, if you check out Part 4 and Part 7 in the video (see below), the city's building inspector came after some neighbors had some concerns. The inspector took some photos and did some measurements, several days after that he told me I DID NOT NEED a permit. So, it is very important to study your local bylaws.
Cantilever vs Non-cantilever Deck
------------------------------------------------------
To get around the permit, I intentionally designed and built my deck under 2 feet. But the problem is that, I didn't have enough space to have a beam sitting on the post to build a cantilever deck. I say 95% of the decks out there are cantilever. So, I used joist hangers for every single joist, although cost is higher, but permit issue is gone. Check out Part 4 for details.

This is not a DYI. This guy is a professional!
I just look at this video and was how do you know what goes where and all that
Yeah but also £1000 worth of tools 😂😂 great job
You can say that again!
A professional😂🤣 it took him 3 years to do! 😅🙈
@@TopNotchViking you have a neck tattoo... enough said
When I saw him start sewing , I knew he was in a league of his own 🙏🏾
Haha I was like Oh Lord....
Hats off to you for doing this in 15 minutes. This would take me 3 years
He didn't do it in 15 mins
@@liesdiebibelbruder420 Really? 🤔
It took 3 years....they condensed it to 15 min 🤣🤣
@@liesdiebibelbruder420 Did you even see the video?! He clearly did it in 15 min smh
R/woooosh
Your DIY is more professional than some pros. Holy cow.
some pros?
@@EndOfIt professionals*
I am really impressed not just by you built a deck on your own, but how professional you did it! The details are amazing. You really did put a ton of thoughts on it! Respect
Thank you!!
No way you're not an experienced contractor! DIY if you know what you're doing!
Definitely a PRO. The execution of his cut abs firmest is perfect! Damn he makes it look easy. This would take 3 month just to understand everything!
Me watching this DIY video with a couple of screwdrivers, few nails and one measure tape in my tool box 🤨 ✍🏽✍🏽
lol me too!!!
Yeah this DYI its an inspiration killer
😂😂😂FR! I have the same set
🤣
Same hahaha, this is a million de k
This guy considers himself as a DIYer than a professional and here in Australia i have seen So called professionals with less than 10% of the trade knowledge. I think it’s time for you to give up on that 9-5 Job and get on to the tools mate. You are a bloody legend!👌👌👍👍
One of the best diy seen in you tube. Best craftsmanship, minute work detail.
This guy is something else! He did the woodwork, the concrete, the grill, the gardening, for god sakes the man even sowed!!
This is not even professional, it is beyond! I work as a carpenter, this is not just building this man is making art!
Absolutely love the level of detail and overall project. I can say that you have many years experience because there is no way that’s the work of a true DIY’er. Phenomenal job either way!
My back hurts just by watching you doing the hard work.
Your skills are amazing. I knew you were the real deal when you were sewing your own shades lol.
Thanks!!! Yes, I bought the sewing machine for this.
Just built 3 of these after watching this no professionals needed DIY job.
It said one guy in 15 minutes…. He wasn’t lying. This is some serious pro work! Amazing.
One of the best DIY videos on RUclips. Covered so many different aspects of the build being keen to detail and affording his viewing audience the ability to take those same lessons to a variety of unrelated projects to this video!
This would take my whole life to do! You have such a wide range of skills
"If yen can cook, so can you! "
You are an inspiration to us diyers. However, your skills are above average if not pro. Fellow Canadian here.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad that I have inspired you!!! DIY is part of life in Canada!
We are blessed to learn and buy almost anything to build. If you can do it, so can we, maybe not as nice. 😁🙏🏻
Just Subscribed. Cheers.
This DIY looks easy! My wife and I will probably finish this in one weekend!
I think you guys can handle in day.
This is pro level here. Nothing DIY about it. Generally DIY is allowed to anyone. Anyone ain't doing this. I'll tell you that.
as soon as I saw him sewing his own curtains I realised this guy grew up in a stable family environment
The inspector cat tickled me🥰🤣this was so great.
In 15 minutes you were able to complete this project, In 15 minutes i watched you complete this project, Im pretty happy with myself, I might go to bed now
This guy makes me look like a total rookie. And he did it all himself?? This would take me at least a summer and a half. Nice work!!
Did you miss the beginning of the video? It took him 3 years.
@@Mike__B Wow...What a commitment. Fantastic job.
With those skills definitely
One person is good enough 👍
God's are among us!
Taking into consideration the fact that you are software developer, providing that(!) amount of trade skills and mind - is freaking awesome! E-Commerce, Data Science? Aviation?!
You have some serious skills.
I know!! 15min!!!! That would literally take me the full 3 years
I thought cars could only talk in that one pixar movie
Something like this would jack up the price of any house, definitely worth doing, it also happens to be fun
Great video. Pro tip: Take the air filter out of the shop vac when sucking up water.
I think he used series 7000 which is for used for wet vac
🤔🤔🤔….Dayum….You don’t know but you just taught a lot of us sumthin with that….🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I would really reluctant to call it a Pro Tip. it's more comfortable for me to call it a DIY Tip. Well, it worked!!!!
No Freaking Way!!!!! You are Super-Human…No one (expect You) could ever pull this of well…looking that Fantastic!!! You’re Amazing and I’m tired, just watching a 15 minute Video!!! You must’ve had some Great Training at an early age. GOD Bless!!!
Wow....... I gotta find my jaw it hit the floor and rolled away. Well done !
Going to save this and hit pause a million times
Yeah, let's it LOOP!!!
When he says “Pro quality” he’s not bragging, he’s stating a fact. Looks amazing great job. This is definitely not a DIY I can tackle
Yeah I was like "oh cool lets check it out" then less than 1 minute in I'm like "Nope no way I'm gonna be able to do this".
Best thing I seen on the internet in a long timr
This guys got serious skills. But I’m equally impressed by his dedication to the filming and editing. He probably added another 50% in time to capture this.
What a great worker- I would have watched for another hour ❤️
Awesome! Thank for watching!
I enjoy watching professional working like this! The protocol of following size, and measurement and safety! Well done
dont ever let anyone tell you that you can't do it. more importantly tell yourself that you can. or if you think you can't, just find out HOW you CAN. i rebuilt my deck by hand and it was awesome.
Yes, that's the message I want to get it to all the DIY people. Thanks for the summary!!!!
Tip of the cap to you, good sir!! Amazing detail and excellent craftsmanship!!
Thank you, hope it helped and give you some inspiration!
@@DIYable that it did!
This guy is amazing. It's not work. It's artistry.
Seriously high standard of DIY!
I can’t find the words to describe this work. Thanks for showing us this, we don’t deserve it ❤️
First time that I'd to slow down a DIY video.
Dude! This is the most amazing diy I've ever seen. Well done! 😊👍🏽💕
Wow! Amazing. Watched the whole thing... Wish I had the money and skills. You did such a thorough job... No short cuts there. Ratings!
Your great attention to details is phenomenal. Hard to see nowadays with so many wannabe contractors and most of them that I encountered were like "Do it fast and get the hell out of here".
The level of detail in this is amazing. Props to u! 👏🏼
This is the most OverBuilt Deck I ever seen.. Nice Craftmanship 👍
You did an incredible job with this project! The best part is enjoying the fruits of your labor when it is all done. Thanks for sharing!
Simply Amazing!!! You're a Pro!!!
Makes me feel like I have Zero skills lol!!
pretty amazing finished project! Attention to detail AND wide variety of skills used did not go unnoticed.
You did an amazing job! Great detail. A ton of patience, and a lot of courage to tackle such a big job, alone! 🏆🏆🏆
Joist hangers are perfect. I had to argue with my contractor because I wanted a lower deck with no railing required. He couldn’t comprehend it. I also insisted on hurricane straps for our covered deck portion. He again stated wind wasn’t a concern because code didn’t require it. We live just off the lake in Niagara. Every time we get a wind storm I’m happy I have those straps or else my roof would end up in OZ!
Joist hangers requires a lot more time and money (especially if you use proper structural screws), glad you insisted on hurricane straps!! As our Canadian hero Mike Holmes always said "There is nothing wrong in exceeding code", I totally agree with this line.
Wow! Excellent quality and craftsmanship! Great end result!
Stunning job mate. And a pleasure to watch, thanks for this great upload
Bro you can do everything. This is not like me going to home Depot and doing it for the first time. You are an expert
Big Flex on the neighbors.
You are incredibly crafty and talented. I wish to be half as handy as you are haha. Your channels a great source of inspiration for my projects!
This is impressive af. You absolutely killed it sir. Youve been GOATED
Good Job , Good tools, Craftman , Selfmade , Bravo One Man Show :)
That's hands down the nicest deck I've ever seen. Well done.
I truly appreciate your attention to detail. Many professionals that I have hired for various projects over the years have not been so careful costing me time and money! Sometimes I have then had to redo it myself. With a "Can Do" attitude there is far more that the average person can accomplish than they think. However, the one thing that is essential to any project's success is to use the appropriate tools. I find many people attempt projects with inappropriate tools, therefore, causing inferior results or even a dangerous situation. A great video, I look forward to more!
And here was me all proud it took me every weekend to for 2 months to do a deck and pergola with retractable sail cover..... Just read this mega build took him 3 years so don't feel as bad now lol
Thank you for posting this. Glad I found your video and very well done on this project.
Man, all I can say is "What a great, wonderful and amazing Job". Sure, you will inspire a lot of people to do something like you have builded. I will try to do it too
Wow. You must have just patience, and persistence. Looks amazing
Amazing time lapse video of your progress of how you did your deck. I enjoy them and I wish I am handily person as you.
It's awesome to see real craftsmanship. Enjoyed watching you and the attention to detail.
The patience! Amazing! Looks great!
The craftsmanship is superb, hats off to you sir.
Probably the best backyard transformation I've seen! : o

The family couldn't use the garden for 3 years... the work is great but just pay someone to help instead of taking so dam long.
Wow thank super informative and easy steps for diy I ended up getting this done in a few hours after work.

Wow. Amazing work. Quality.
Quality job mate, this will still be standing when the house isn’t! Nice work 👍👍
