Nice detailing. One item of personal preference would be to overhang the perimeter deck board about 1/4"-1/2". This lip will allow less rain to get behind the fascia and also allows the wood substrate to shrink and swell seasonally without noticing the movement. Also, it's a good reminder to make sure the face of the hammer is perfectly clean before installing the plugs. Grind or sand any burrs off the hammer face. PVC boards are easily marred.
Another highly detailed video. I keep learning more ways of getting this done. Buying some materials today to get started on mine :) Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I know it takes a lot of time to make these videos and I greatly appreciate your efforts.
I've worked with this stuff....the main reason I had to put on knee pads is that I would have gotten burn blisters on my knees because the decking gets brutally hot in the sun....god help anyone who tries to walk on it with bare feet on a sunny day
Luckily we don't have to worry much about that type of heat in Seattle haha. Plus this new PVC stuff stays way cooler then the older models out there. Thanks for watching Colin.
if you install it in cooler weather to maintain end spaces...problem is that when the weather gets hot the spacibg srinks then disappears leaving no option than for the boards to buckle and sag because the have no place left to expand
Not sure if someone in the comments already mentioned. But when you're calculating the overall size of the deck, do you account for the gap between each board into the calculation as well?
Great video, thanks. I may have missed this, but are you not worried about having the deck framing up against the house siding so tight? I'd be under the assumption you would want a little space between the two so moisture didn't become a problem. Also, what about ventilation under the deck?
Love the video. I have a similar build on concrete, however have a lot of cedar trees near by and get a lot of debris during the fall. Would you recommend placing anything on the concrete before installing the deck to prevent much of the debris just sitting under the deck and on the concrete?
Forgot the link to the Wise Guides. I am doing something similar (8x10 floating deck with walkway along the side of the house and a pergola built over it). Will cost me an arm and both legs, but should be a good project when done.
Thanks so much for the reminder Stephen. I just added it to the list but just incase here it is: amzn.to/43WP7DF Sounds link an amazing project. Send me pictures when its done :)
How would you tackle putting a 12ft x 28ft deck together if part of it is going to cover the old concrete slap that’s only 3 1/2in lower than the door?
Hello sir, are you ever worried about water coming off the roof and coming onto the deck repeatedly? Or should it not be a problem since the wood is treated there should be no mold issues?
The corner you mitered an extra piece of is there a way to fuse that onto your long board using a locating biscuit and bonding glue that melts the plastic like Cyanoacrylate?
Have not tried that before Able but I may have to think about that one next time I take on a deck project. Thanks for the suggestion and hope you liked the video.
Great video!! From watching your other videos, I thought the fascia board was too thin to use the same cortex/screws and plugs as on the rest of the deck?
Great question Dave and you are correct. I did state that because that's what TimberTech says to do and will happen. But I've watched Dr. Decks use the same cortex screws that I did in this video on the facia and it was just fine. If works for him I'm sure it will work for me haha. Thanks for watching and the question.
I wonder why you use Timberteck instead of Trex? Cost or availability or because you have used it in the past. I’m not loyal to Trex and I have never used Timberteck. It looks like an equal or better product tho. Thoughts? Another beautiful job BTW. Thanks Brent!
In all honesty I have no problem with Trex and even have it on my own deck but for some reason all the clients in my area that I've worked with recently love the color and design of TimberTech more then Trex. At this rate though I'm not sure when I'll be taking on a Trex project haha. Thanks for watching and asking Roger.
Thanks for all the great tips. These details really help to get the professional finish. Just curious, Wont it be faster to use clips that go between the boards instead of screws? No need for plugs. Given your joists are not resting on the ground, is it necessary to use pressure treated lumber?
Sorry did I miss something, I don’t see the link to your email list? Also, to be clear, if I join the email list are you emailing out the plans for this deck around the 24 hour mark or do I need to request them? Great work and I want to see if I can create a floating deck myself.
Sorry about the confusion Jon. Forgot the link in the description. Just head to my website and a popup will come up for the email list. Once the plans are done I'll be sending out a link to everyone there. Thanks so much for watching: byotools.me/
I'm happy to use the clips on some projects but I love these screws and they provide the strongest hold strength possible, which is important when working with PVC decking. Thanks for watching Brendan.
At 11:40, the fact that the fascia board is down in the grass killed me. How is the owner doing to mow and weed whack without marring all your hard work? I would have put in some masonry screws at the corners of the deck (through the black plastic lifts) just to keep it from walking over time. I know you had to live with the odd length, but I don’t feel like the triangle inserts at the mitered corners are going to hold up well over time.
In your opinion. I’ve installed plenty of slotted decks in my day and they are MUCH faster but not nearly the strength these screws have. Happy to show off clip screws in future videos but these screws have the best hold strength possible
@@b3arwithm3 i dont think warping and buckling is the issue.....just many lost hours and an inferior product in the end. Those plugs always end up showing over time.
@@kevinbenedict5443 I have a small deck project in planning phase and I am also leaning toward using clips because they don't show. And it is just one screw to drive in vs 2 in this case.

This man is a artist.
Your attention to detail is plausible. Excellent work!
Wow those plugs are amazing, literally disappeared 😮

Awesome work man! In the process of figuring out our own deck project. Your videos are super helpful
Love hearing that. Thanks so much for watching and good luck on your project.
Great video! Not building a deck any time soon but still fun to watch and learn.
Love hearing that Randy and hopefully learning now will pay off down the road :)
It looks great ! I'm sure it also adds to the value of the house.
For sure adds value! Looks so good once you walk outside. Thanks for watching.
this is exactly what I want to do, over my cement deck so i dont have a step down from the house. amazing walk through
Absolutely beautiful.

I live in Ontario Canada...doesn't need to be hot weather...just a sunny day
also...my last experience with it was only 2 years ago
the fact that you needed to wet it down to limit expansion....proves how hot the stuff gets
if you install it in cooler weather to maintain end spaces...problem is that when the weather gets hot the spacibg srinks then disappears leaving no option than for the boards to buckle and sag because the have no place left to expand
Fantastic work, looks great
Fantastic couple of videos. Will definitely check out the links.
Really clean!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words Fredrik.
Nice craftsmanship
Great job and very helpful video. Thanks
amazing job！
Great work!
Great video!
Great job. Perfect
For a deck this low in profile did you need a permit or someone to sign off on it?
Depends on your city. Generally won't need a permit below 3'
Not sure if someone in the comments already mentioned. But when you're calculating the overall size of the deck, do you account for the gap between each board into the calculation as well?

Did not know you are in Seattle, I am out in Carnation. May I ask where you got the Timbertech decking from?
Thats a lot of tuff blocks
How would you tackle putting a 12ft x 28ft deck together if part of it is going to cover the old concrete slap that’s only 3 1/2in lower than the door?
Do you need a permit in los angeles for a free standing deck?
Great video your tips are really helpful.

Wow ,i love your tutorial content.tha k you for sharing from team wenggay
amazing job thanks for sharing
🔥 🔥 🔥 amazing
Thanks so much for watching and your support.
Did you have any issues where the screws are not going in deep enough? And it just spins?
Occasionally but only because I missed the framing below. If we hit framing we are good to go :)

Question, how can I build 3 steps high deck using the same system as yours?
Que material é este?
Thanks for all the great tips. These details really help to get the professional finish. Just curious, Wont it be faster to use clips that go between the boards instead of screws? No need for plugs.
Given your joists are not resting on the ground, is it necessary to use pressure treated lumber?
Clips would be faster but less secure. Need to protect joists from rain so treated lumber is best
I want to know how to install this without a comcrete pad.

@@BYOTools no worries! I signed up anyway! I love your videos!
Those corners would really bother me.
Why don’t you router the edges of your deck boards where they meet your picture frame?
I would have been nice to give us the price per board as the site makes us go to a local store to get a price.
Why wouldn't you use the composite deck clips?
I'm happy to use the clips on some projects but I love these screws and they provide the strongest hold strength possible, which is important when working with PVC decking. Thanks for watching Brendan.
@@BYOTools is this better than trex?

I wish I would live in community without HOA
HOA are basically nazi territory. Move immediately. If you don't have a problem with the HOA, YOU are the problem for all your neighbors, Karen.

Why is it "amazing"?
What's not amazing about this patio lol! Thanks for watching.
@@BYOTools LOL
id be pissed if i paid someone to build a deck and he put on little 45 blocks on each corner
This guy should have used slotted boards and hidden fasteners. Too many plugs to install. Major waste of time..
In your opinion. I’ve installed plenty of slotted decks in my day and they are MUCH faster but not nearly the strength these screws have. Happy to show off clip screws in future videos but these screws have the best hold strength possible
Will the boards warp and buckle that much requiring that much holding strength?
