I built a decking with the brother in law last week. 3 days later I am still recovering, deceptively hard work! I found oiling it was like breathing life into the deck, made it look beautiful! Enjoyed the video thanks!
I like the sloped slab. Good for water control. Thanks for the tips on leveling the hardwood structure!
I can’t STOP watching your videos. My husband is going to come home to a possible mess, you make it look so easy!!! Thank you as always.
I love y'alls channel, and as a new home owner, invaluable.
Jeff we appreciate all that you do. Whatever I want to learn about or do. I’m watching you 😊. Thank you!
Thanks For giving me the confidence to DIY. Just got off the phone with Mat from advantage and I’m ready to make my purchase thank you Jeff
Hi Jeff, First of all, thanks for all the videos you create. Some of them were extremely useful in a remodeling project we just finished - not DIY, but being rather handy with projects, I'm a very involved client - especially the one in which you featured Trademark Soundproofing's products, since my new office needed to be soundproof.
I'm in the midst of laying deck tiles (this part and a few others I'm doing myself) on my rooftop and one lesson I learned from my neighbor was to label each pedestal. They had their roof redone and the roofer put the pedestals back wherever he wanted, so his tiles are all wobbly, so I'm using a screwdriver to mark the pedestals with their "coordinates" (i.e. A1, A2 ... A9, B1, B2, and so on). This way, if I ever have to remove the tiles I won't have to spend a day and a half re-leveling everything.
Again, thank you!
nice idea. Cheers!
I love the ability to swivel those supports. Really ingenious system!
great for problem solving. they also have a fixed pedestal for more economical situations.
Love your content. Thank you for passing on your knowledge. I wonder if some dude it 2080 will be watching this video and goes through the comments and is all, “woah... trippy.” Greetings from 2021!
didnt even watch the video yet and clicked the like button.. this man is gem ✌️ thanks for teaching us.
I need one of those blades for my saw! Thank you for giving us a demo of it!
Cheers brian!
This was a great video thank you and you have a refreshing sense of humor, your laugh made me laugh 😊
Love this system! Love your videos!
Eye Protection when using the saw! We love your eyes! :) And thanks for all the great videos.
Man you would have HATED the previous owner of our house. I’m currently demolishing a “deck” they put over the concrete slab patio. They used marina floating decks and laid them right over top. Half on the slab and half right on the ground. I wish I could email you pictures. It’s beyond hilarious. Thanks to you I’m able to take it apart while my husband is at work. The slab itself is an improvement. 😂😂😂
Do you have a video on how to extend your existing deck thank you by the way I love your videos real helpful
thank, that's what i was looking for :)
Holy crap I'm not too sure if I can watch your channel anymore if you show badass products, easy to install, and look DAMN great!!!! P.S. my wife can't watch the channel I'll be broke in days! That saw blade is pretty awesome! Love the video
Congrats on the videos
Did have to add one thing Jeff (from my comment to a post). Spent 5 mins trying to figure where got the measurement, of 5 1/8; as I had diff answer & thought I was going crazy....so glad, I’m just still a tad bit crazy 🤪👍🏻
That deck system, is a nifty cool system. Pretty awesome pedestal, especially being adjustable in multiple directions/heights....
Cheers ✌🏻
LOl, try not to listen to my math. I don't always say what I am thinking for some crazy reason. Cheers!
“This is not a place to cut corners” after he just cut a corner off 😂 Don’t know if that was intentional, but it was dad joke approved.
Was thinking of buying IKEA type lower grade wood decking tiles. Thanks for making me aware of the Ipe wood tiles at Advantage Lumber. I’m going to get their 20”x20” SMR grade pieces, looks well worth the extra cost over the cheap stuff out there.
You bet!
Very nice job and all of the products as well.
Thanks Dino. Cheers!
Hey this is Audrey and the food guy!!! Funny how youtube personalities collide! Great people and great tips thanks
Thanks for sharing that
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I have a similar concrete surface deck. I was thinking to re-level the surface by adding a concrete layer before installing the deck tile. I wonder which way is easier.
I’m doing the same thing too I enjoyed it 😎👍
This is an awesome build. I need my deck to be really low to the ground...has anyone heard of tuffblocks? They look like they'd do the trick.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I either think "I'm going to start doing that from now on" or "I wish I had known that two months ago." This time, it was the latter.
LOl, I am making them as fast as I can. Cheers!
Thank you very much for sharing!
My pleasure!
💯 neat I love it
Great video - thank you. Especially the part about sealing the Brazilian wood. I love your laugh. I couldn't help but notice your shortness of breath while speaking though - I'm a cardiac RN and it concerned me. I just wanted to make you're aware in case you hadn't noticed. Be well my Friend.
Thanks 👍
I’m interested in this DIY deck tiling for a front concrete porch make over. It has a step and no railing. Not sure if you have a video that shows how to cover the step and the side of the concrete slab? Do you also have a video on how to DIY stair railings? Thank you in advance! I have been following your channel for a month now and I am learning so much! 🙏🏼
Really well done and so interesting. Thank you!
I want to install a deck over my front entry sidewalk and it's adjacent dirt "planter" areas...I'm hoping advantagelumberand the altitude pedestal system will work with me + my home terrain... I also have drainage issues.
Yes, I need a pro. No, I don't have the mula; hoping I can make this come out great with extra care.
How would you install fascia on this decking material with a curved concrete platform?
Muito bom, você deveria dá aulas, abrir uma escola
Using a painter's tool as a chisel? I've never thought about sharpening my painters tool, but now I kind of want to!
I have being following your channel for long time and now I finally own a house to do all these stuff. I have a tiles front patio but it gets slipery when it is wet or even worse, icy. I see that you just place the sleeper/stand on top of the concrete, doesn't it need glue or screw to secure it in place?
I am thinking of creating this setup for a floating deck on a sloping concrete pad for a 4 person, inflatable hottub. Do you think this could hold the weight securely?
Hello from a 62-year-old DIY'er. This project is right up my alley!
I checked out the Advantage Lumber website but they have a gazillion products. Any chance you can be more specific with the decking material? Thanks!
Nice job. I have a similar project, my concrete is the same. You gave me a good Idea. But how and where can I get those blacks leveling parts and the wood? Let me know. Thanks
I congratulate you for your videos are very interesting, I have a doubt you can fix those plastic bases where the wood sits is to make them a hole?
Cheers Felix!
Based on your RUclips videos, I am planning on installing those IPE Tiles around my In-Ground Pool. Do the Pedestals require to be secured/fastened to ground/cement/etc.(?) or is the weight of the Deck Tiles sufficient? Would there be any possible movement?
How do I install a post on uneven concrete? Do they make some kind of shims?
Is it recommended to fasten piers/footers to the concrete at all?
Excellent company i like the big boss the best
as do we all. Cheers!
Hi I have a question im going to do the same project at my yard but whats the name of the pvc and size its like 4"x10ft
Glad to see the details of the this video, showing us what we "missed" on the full feature video. Gratz man
Cheers!
Awesome job! Thanks for the video! And that's one awesome saw! Cheers!
Cheers Prophetess! The saw is still working great!
Hi , do we need to fix pedestals to concrete with screws or glue?
Can it be used for raised deck over the joists? 6 ft above the grade?
How do you prevent it from sliding on the concrete after install? Did you drill holes into the concrete to secure the base ?
If you needed to, would you be able to lift up one of these panels in the middle of the deck to clean underneath it? Like if it was used on a roof and there were leaves. I also can't wrap my head around how you did the corners using the plugs and stands.
You should be able to lift each tile off the post. I was wondering about the corners too
Another great video. That blade is a bad mama jama!! Thanks for sharing CHAMP
Thanks Birdman, Always great to hear from you! Cheers!
Would the same system, eg using the plastic piping as columns work for deck that's about 1 foot of the slab? Also, don't you have to fasten the plastic footers to the actual concrete?
I assume these are the 24x24 your using .? And you say the clips come with the purchase of the tiles or do I need to purchase separately ? ..this is a great product and video ..please let us know ..
When should and shouldn't you put anchors in those?
Great job on the deck! What version of the evolution saw are you using?
10' compound sliding mitre. Cheers!
Seems like it’s probably not a concern, but do you need to worry about water getting under the deck and settling on the slab? I don’t worry about it with the slab open, but with no sun and limited airflow getting to it, is there something that needs to be done to prevent mold or other issues?
@Home RenoVision DIY - Hey Jeff - I have a question. Can we do this same thing if the patio is raised? I live in a house that was built in the early 1960s by my Grandparents. They added a patio on the back of the house that is about 18 in off ground level. The "slab" is about 8 in thick and seems to only be supported around the outside by concrete blocks underneath. We cannot see any further under to see if there is support in the middle. We would like to add a larger deck because this has crazy measurements (it's like a bowling alley). We would like to go over the cement and extend and use composite decking. Can this be done without busting out the cement slab? Also, we live in Illinois, so about the same climate as Nova Scotia. Love the channel! Thank you for any help!
What are those plates called your putting the deck on?
Are you using the 20x20 or the 24x24 in this project?
Wow holy cow
What was the total square footage and cost of the deck and hardware?
The dog testing it out 👌😂
Hold on a second, I got to grab the tape boss!!!👍
Brilliant system..how did that sawdust coffee taste?.lol..I swore it was gonna spill.out from all that rocking..
delicious, loving the fiber in my diet!
Looks nice. Out of curiosity, would it be worth it building your own custom style wood pallet tiles like that, or would you just build a standard style joist frame plank kinda dealie?
WE DID a video on using that tile with a joist package. Cheers!
14:22 nice supporting actor shot :)
LOving it!
Is there a height limit suggested for the difference in elevations? We have a sloping concrete pad with over a foot differential across the length of the pad
Hi Shawna, no problem whatsoever. Cheers!
Could you use this system on top of a shingled rooftop with a low slope? Set directly on the shingles?
Yes that's what these deck tile pedestals are typically used for.
whats the name of the leveling tool things? with the PBC pipes????
Can this deck be used for a hot tub? We are looking to put a deck for a hottub over uneven asphalt Any other suggestions?
Can you show us what went in to repairing that concrete slab first?
I have that evolution saw. I bought it to cut metal like in your last test. But after about 15 cuts blade become totally dull and do not cut at all. That was frustrating.
I am using mine still. I will let everyone know the results of when it finally gets dull. Cheers!
Knee pads are your friends! 😂 It pains me to see you on that concrete without them!
Try a right hand saw seeing as you are right handed, also a 12 inch miter and a chisel not a five way knife. .... just saying, other than that good job and a nice system! Your video's are fun and a good thing sir:)
Cheers!
Cool product, can it be installed on compacted ground or sand also?
nope. only on concrete of flat roofing. Cheers!
Where can you find those plastic clips that sit on the slab?
Try to get in the habit of letting the blade stop before lifting it up. You could get some kickback from the cutoff moving into the spinning blade.
Also, I think you need a new “chisel”.
10:22 ”this is not a place to cut corners." I see what you did there!
What about hurricaines in Florida? Can I use?
Hello I'm a new follower and subscriber. Very interesting wood patio setup. I also have multiple weird uneven slabs for a patio. I've been wanting to find someone to remove the multiple slabs an pour one but this gives me another option. Thanks. I also want to build a two patio covers in our backyard. One open an one closed and a raised roof deck over one of the two future patios off of my one story house.
Not sure if I need to remove slabs or cut holes into the cracked unevem slabs for the patios/roof deck posts or can I just bracket them down? I'm guessing its better to cement the posts in thru the existing slabs then build. If i was to become a member of your diy team, is it possible to consult with you on my options? Thanks I'm advance from S. TX.
Where can I find the specs for this floating decking system.
I need it
Durability in TX heat...100+ temps?
Hey great vid..can you do a vid on getting contract work and the process you go thru?
Not on this channel. Cheers!
Note to self, never buy an Evolution saw. :/. Their blades are decent but the saw itself is horrid.
Anyway, with this system, is there way to utilize it with curves opposed to corners on the perimeter?
Is this still cost effective?
I have an old large concrete slab kennel that we are looking to cover with wood or composite decking and to ultimately turn the space into an outdoor bar?
Diamond grind and self leveling concrete would be the alternative. That runs about 8 bucks a square foot in some places. Or hammer out the concrete and do a traditional post and joist patio. 18 inches is preferred minimum height on these decks to allow airflow. (according to their website}
What’s the cheap way to accomplish a deck on top of concrete?
the painter's tool rules!
Might sound silly , but I`ve never seen many videos on how . Can you do a Video on laser levels. Start to finish on how to set up and what not... They always say they have set up their laser level. But how?
I`ve always been intrigued.
I simply screw mine to a stand. Cheers! and yes I will.
What about Florida hurricane winds?
I live in brampton . Do i need permit to repair my deck ?
Will that slab continue to crack and sink over time with the additional weight?
Yes, also water will still pool to the foundation if the slab is not leveled properly first. Most important step #1 should have been to level the concrete by hiring professionals to prevent future basement water issues, and then only then installing the deck. Also would have been much easier on a level surface.
I don't see a link to the blade in your description. Am I just missing it?
Is there a video on using concrete blocks for a deck besides the one you have on the deck you are leveling from? We have a cracked concrete slab I would like to build a deck over.
ruclips.net/video/jHZoDVB_AS8/видео.html or go to the playlists and look for Floating Deck there's more than one video using those blocks iirc
Cheers!
@@suivzmoi I've seen this one. The deck I want to build is only going to be barely off the ground. Just a square small deck. I didn't know if I needed to use all the hardware that's being used on a bigger deck. Thanks
How does this hold up when the concrete heaves due to temperature/season changes?
Yep thats my question!!! How does this hold up when the concrete heaves due to temperature/season changes?
If/when the concrete moves, the deck will move too. You'll then have a mess on your hands. This is not a good system to place over top of a failing concrete pad.
See if that saws start up time is better without ext cord. If so, you need a heavier gauge extn. cord
not the cord, it was a 14 gauge. It seems to have a slow start to keep from tripping breakers. cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I C thx
Can you lay treated wood directly on a concrete slab when building a deck, or does it have to be raised?
If your slab is flat then you can install these panels directly on the surface using the small clips I showed in the beginning. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thanks! I'm saving these panels for the front yard to go over the sidewalk stairs and front porch. I'm just using 2 X 6 X 12 treated boards for a shed foundation and extended deck. So I wanted to just lay them directly on the cement and over the rock area beside it. On the rocks, I'm using the same treated wood to frame it so it will be level with the cement. I was wondering if there has to be any actual space between the wood and cement in case it rains, etc...I so appreciate your videos. They are my go to contractor vids!
