This was a great DIY vid. Ignore all the haters. 95% percent of shutters on homes these days are non-functional and only there for aesthetical purposes. Keep up the good work!
In the states, maybe. Here in France, functioning shutter are essential. Having shutters that can actually close and be locked ajar not only massively improves security but also light and temperature regulation. They are a damn sight harder to make!

Yes, these are fine. They are the same kind I had on my 1950s Cape Cod house. I foolishly took them off and now I’m going to make more and put them back on. thanks for this video.
What a great man, and so obvious a great father as well! Jordan is very blessed! He's kinda bossy, as if dad hasn't taught him everything he knows😂, and dad just takes it all in stride! Too funny, but I totally agree with the 11 inches! Great channel!😊
the shutters look great. Instant curb appeal upgrade for low cost. I'm think of re-doing my shutters. Thx for the inspiration.
Excellent!! Thank you for showing away! Looks great!!
They look sharp, thank you for sharing this.
You always work together so well. I am impressed with the respect you have for each other. Paul, you are a great Dad and Jordan, you are a great son !
Thanks!! I'm going to be putting these on my double wide to replace the faded vinyl shutters. It will look great!
I love you guys. Great personalities and team work.
Beautiful love the contrast
Really nice! Can't wait to try...
Awesome! Nice work looks great
Just got my house painted white and was thinking about doing just this! Great DIY video
It looks just so nice and fancy! Great job!
Really enjoyed your video!!! They look great!!!! I will be trying the paint sticks as spacers!!!
Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing, I will be building these in the next few days for my home. Appreciate all your hard work!
Thank you Genevieve!!
I like the new windows you had installed. Very nice. The shutters were needed. They look good. Rustic. Matches houses built inthe 80's. Used to live in a brick house very much like that in South Carolina. Same powder blue trim paint color they must have painted a million houses with back then.
Awesome to see an early video! You all have done a great job developing the videos over the last few years!
Awesome work guys! I'll be doing my own soon. Thanks!
Great video. They look amazing nice and cozy.😉 that's what I will be doing in the back on the porch window. Thank you for the tips.
Mr. Paul. Nice shutters. I think a chamfered edge routed on the cross members would have been a nice touch
Great job! Wonderful characters!
Looks awesome!!
Came out awsome !!!! Gonna do it to my house now but am gonna add black hinges to make it really pop out 👍
Nice work gentlemen! You decided my change in shutters!
Awesome job 👏
Great job!
Love yall. New subbie! I'm gonna make these for my dad who has been tirelessly working on a small family gather house for us in the country.
That came out great
Great video and exactly what I was looking for as I will be making these for my Mom’s house.
Very helpful! I’m making my own shudders and installing onto brick so this was exactly what I needed!
They look so awesome! I’m hoping to make some shutters for my house and this was super helpful! Thanks for the vid :)
they look stupid, because they are fake.
Next Project, instead of screwing them into the house, put them on hinges so that you can close them during a bad storm to protect the glass windows from flying debris like what shutters were originally designed for. Also can be used to seal up the home from smash and grabs while you're out of town.
Real shutters, what a concept!
Yeah if they aren't real and working, why bother?
exactly, why not screw a fake water faucet on the wall beside your non functional shutters and a peice of rope painted to look like a hose and hang it up by your non functional faucet 😂
That's a good idea let thieves know your out of town and make it so your neighbors can't see them inside
ive never seen actual, working shutters before ☠️
tyvm. looks so nice and very simple!
Thanks Lynn!!
Thank you for the video. They look awesome. Great idea using the paint sticks as a spacer. I would not have thought about that.
yard sticks are also good for 1/4"
I'm just here to say I enjoyed the music while watching wood working lol
Your house is beautiful.
Awesome 👏🏼
Like this guys skills
Beautiful
Great video. How did you decide on the length? I noticed it is slightly below the window, about half the width of the roll lock.
Did you have to pre drill the brick before putting those masonry screws in and what length screws did you use? I'm getting ready to do the same.
I've watched all your videos. Great job guys! Paul looks like he is losing weight hope he is doing ok! But I anticipate your videos all week! Thanks for all your tips and tricks
These look awesome. Also the clip at the end of the video is golden 10:42
those look nice. Im going to do this
Great job. Is there any hinges attach? What kind of hinges and how to attach it. Thanks
So use 3- 1 x 6 treated lumber strips, connect using 17" wide 1 x 3 or 4 wood strips. Tacking it all down from the back side with 1 1/4 tacks?? (will they rust?) -- guessing the wood is treated pine? Choose pieces with less knots, watch out for warped and curved wood. I like the 11" spacing.. good choice. I priced the same type shutters online and they cost almost $400.00 a pair. (14 x 71) I think we will pull out the table saw and start cutting! Love the shore look of the shutters. Thank you.
Thanks Thomas! The tacks from the back side are definitely the weak link. I'd use 1-1/4" stainless steel or some type of coated exterior screw if I had to do them again. Yes - treated pine. Good luck with your project👍
AWESOME JOB !! do you have a video how you screwed them into the brick ?
Also great if you live in a hot country keeps the house cool. In colder countries they have thick walls and windows on front. Never indestand why they put windows flat on a building without the hedge at top to protect from sin and rain. Well done they are nice l8ke the slatted ones also
Damn good video. Gave me the confidence to do my own. Thank you.
gave you the confidence to drill random pieces of wood into the side of your house for no reason? wow, neat.
More!!! Give us more!!!
We're glad you enjoy the content Jose! We're currently in the process of buying a new house to renovate so the videos will be coming back very shortly! Thanks for watching!
Great video. What is the ane of wood did you used?
WHAT COLOR DID YOU PAINT THE HOUSE. LOOKS GREAT!!
Back when you only had 50 subscribers, wow. I am greatly enjoying (and learning from) your videos.
Have a home only 8 years old. The shutters are a dense foam. I hate them !! This is a great video. I want to add real wood shutters since I plan to have the house painted this year. Beautiful job !!
I had cedar storm shutters made but the wood on one of them came apart. Can I use screws instead of staples ?
First how incredibly meaningful to work together... and most positive example of family! What a positive change to your home. Three quick questions: 1) Is this treated pine or cedar? 2) even if treated have you applied clear sealant to keep this initial look?, 3) Any thoughts on how one would attach to steel siding? Perhaps just screw in as you did? Thanks again.. I so look forward to doing things like this with my son and hopefully God willing... my grandson too!
Curious, what size masonry bit did you use to drill the pilot holes for those screws? I saw the screws were #10 and 3" long. I'm assuming a 3/16 or 1/8 but wanted to doublecheck.
I think 5/32". Any screw used for masonry should come with the appropriate bit or have the bit size needed printed on the package. IIRC, the masonry bits for these screws were right next to the screws at the home center.
That looks fabulous. I’m just wondering how the shutters will wear and change in color over time. I’m wanting to do the same thing, so I’m curious.
Wow, is there anything Stud Pack doesn't do !????- hope all your customers appreciate you !!! Looks really nice !
I absolutely love these, what did you use to protect the wood from weather?
We picked up a stain suitable for treated lumber at our local Benjamin Moore paint store. Don't remember the brand sorry
Do you have to predrill holes for the screws to ge attached to the brick or the work wit out predrill holes ?
Yes predrill is required. The drill bit size needed is printed on the package of screws.
Thank you
What size staples did you use and what type of staple gun?
Did you guys have to pre drill for those screws. We built the same shutters and i got the same screws and they will not go into the brick. Couldnt tell if you guys pre drilled or not.
0:17 Look at this, you started with just a cell phone and have came so far!
I've tried to help multiple people start different RUclipsr channels and they always get overwhelmed thinking about equipment. But I always tell them my first video was recorded on my phone. As long as the content is valuable people will watch. It doesn't matter if it's on a cell phone or Red Epic.
Awesome curb appeal
Seeing that these guys have almost 600,000 subs in only about 4 years it's hilarious watching the older vids & hearing things like "we're closing in on 50". 😜
Have they held up? Did you seal them with anything?
Getting ready to same thing on my house
nice job guys. I am using some black walnut for mine. I have cement board over chip board siding. Same screws would work?
Thanks much, Dan
Thanks Dan! Black walnut will make some beautiful shutters. Cement board doesn't accept screws well but if by chip board siding you mean OSB then you should be fine. If you mean Celotex (an older type of sheathing), it won't hold a screw well at all. Is there anywhere you can do a test to see how well the screw holds in your application? Maybe behind one of the shutter locations and it will be covered by your new shutters?
@@StudPack Sorry, it is OSB. New house, 1 1/2 yrs old. Thanks also for your set up with the tools. I had not considered using my brad nailer. lol, got all kinds of tools. Just finished planing the wood down to 3/4". The killer on the bedroom windows is they are 80" top to bottom with the frame. I'll send you guys a pic once I am done. I want to get a couple of coats of a spar varnish to protect with the wood, it is south facing and we live in NW Arkansas.
@@StudPack Guys, I was so sad to find out that my 3/4" boards warped when I ran them through the table saw. Not much on the up/down curve, but to the side! Have you experienced that? I tried to see if I could clamp them together to squeeze the gap down and glue them. Nope... I guess the next stage is to cut them again. Any advice? Tks much
I believe I'll do these on my chicken coop build. They look great
I'm looking to replace my plastic shutters to wood but I'm afraid they my capture termites in the future. Should I be afraid of this happening and if so, what do you recommend to prevent it?
We used treated 1x6 for these shutters. Yellawood.com product, website says it's resistant to termites.
I have always, every place I have ever lived, I have made and installed these kind of shutters. Love them, the cheepest way for such great CURB APPEAL ! This house I am in now, needs curb appeal so badly !! Problem maybe u can help? On eather side of this home front is stone! I FAUX painted them ( not just ugly grey any longer) so the house has 2 windows, but the one has that STONE. NO room for the two sides of shutters, only one side ?? Except to mount the Shutters on top of the stones ? That would not look right ? What do u think ?
Maybe measure perfectly and cut out the stone, so the Shutters fit perfectly?? What do u think ?
thank for posting
What a great video! They look so good on the front of your house. I'm going to make some to spruce up my home too!
Are these 1x6 rough sawn?
Im curious what color you ended up painting the front door
what color did you oaint the brick and what product did you use? Also what the brand of the screws you used to attach the shutters to the brick wall? thanks
We used PPG block filler as first coat then one coat of PPG Manor Hall eggshell, color is Thin Ice. I talk about the screws we used at 09:50, check it out. Thanks!
Check with you insurance agent to re-evaluate you home value….. nice job 👍🏻
I’ve been wanting to add shutters to my home, but my windows aren’t nice like yours, I have 3 windows side by side and are close to a entry door. 11-27-2021 Louisiana
Do those screws go into the brick or the mortar or both?
what size wood did you use
Can you please tell me the kind and size of wood you use please. Like how wide are the 3 boards and how thick. And 2 going aross what size and thick was that board thanks for the video thanks so much
I'm pretty sure they're regular pressure treated 1x6's used for decking. You may want to go with a wider or narrower board depending on your window sizes but in almost all cases 1 inch thick boards is ideal. For the cross-pieces just use the cut-offs from the main pieces. Consider doing a 45 degree bevel on the ends of the cross-pieces for a more detailed aesthetic.
Kevin nailed it - treated 1x6s. I wanted to chamfer the ends but got out voted...
@@StudPack They look awesome! Simple, economical, and a great design feature. Only one tiny nit to pick with the whole deal. All of the ends are cut, which gives a good finish, but they are bare untreated cores now and will be prone to accelerated decay. Next time you do this, you might want to consider applying a topical treated lumber solution to the ends.... All the new deck codes in the ICC are calling out 2% copper solution or a few other materials to treat all cut ends and pre-drilled holes for hardware. Obviously NOT required here as these are decorative, but I THINK your durability is going to suffer... Top ends are partially protected by the soffits, but the lower ends are gonna see a lot of moisture, especially down south.
Great idea though and we will likely steal the idea to replace the crappy 80s vintage baffled shutters we currently have. Thank you!
booostedtc sorry if I missed it but what kind of wood?? Cedar, pine, what?
Would you happen to know the name of the white paint you used on the house?
Only had 50 subs on this video? You guys have grown fast!
Built and installed. $150 for theee pair and look great
I'm gonna do the same but will stain with a dark polyurethane stain..and enclose the round column on front porce in the same stained wood...
Build me some!
what color paint did you use on the brick? we are doing the same project with our home. thank you!
It's call Thin Ice. Ours if from the local PPG store.
@@StudPack Thank you. Nice job!
Hey team, love the channel. What size are the cleats? 1x4?
Yes 1x4
👍👍
What type of boards are you using
Treated 1x6s
How many screws did you put in to each shutter?
Four, 2 at top and 2 at bottom, thanks Bryan!
Was looking to DIY some external shutters and your familiar name came up down the list a little, but you were my first click. The video (paint sticks!, fasteners, wood) and comments (what treatment, etc) were great to help our planning. Thank you and your helpful commenters.
You got it James thx 👍
What type of wood
👍🏻
May I ask what size of wood did you use
1x6
The dad🥰🥰🥰
We're the cross pieces the same wood as the slats
Did you use any kind of insert in the hole you drilled for mounting or just drill the screw directly into the hole you drilled? Thanks! They look great by the way! And also, if we wanted to stain ours, do you think the pre-treated boards would take the stain? My wife wants them to match the columns on our house. Thanks again!
No insert required. They work like Tapcon screws and cut threads in the masonry. We stained our pressure treated boards and it looks fine. One tip: put a little water on the board, if it beads up the board is still too wet and won't accept stain well. Let it dry out until the water is absorbed into the board then it will accept stain better.
Not picking, But do you guys own a battery powered hammer drill ?
Used to own one. Good for light duty stuff and very heavy. I don’t do enough drilling in masonry to warrant owning one.
