Building An INVINCIBLE Deck | Part 4

Today we start installing the Tanzite Stone Decking system. Starting with the joist tape recommended for this system. We don’t need it in our cases because we framed using OC Lumber but if you were using wood than the water protection would be a great benefit as well as the foam acting as a cushion to help buffer any crowns or subtle twists.
Then we do the nosing boards and skirting. For the both we use stainless steel cleats and use the grooves under the boards to attach them..
We also find the best way to cut a bevel and we show how to rip and attach the last deck board against the house. Stay tuned for handrails and privacy screens.

How come everything was moving when you were sliding that piece in?

[@woodbullyltd]

We had not fully installed our beam to track to act as lateral bracing.

[@BottleCaps]

@@woodbullyltd is that cement product going to hold all that together like plywood?

[@hagiwoodworks7759]

I see no advantage in that decking

[@BurtTMacklin-fbi]

Does the composite framing allow you that longer span? That single continuous beam looks not doable with wood.

[@BottleCaps]

Why don't you run down to Canadian Tire and buy a tile cutter with the little water hookup on it

[@woodbullyltd]

Wet saw would be best. Well use it next time

[@BottleCaps]

@woodbullyltd the reason why I'm skeptical of these new products is I'm watching the 10 year old Hardie board rot off my neighbor's house

[@natepeterson7145]

I can see the deck js.

[@BottleCaps]

So this tile cement product you're using is not Slippery When Wet

[@woodbullyltd]

It’s surprisingly grippy. It was sleeting by the end and we weren’t slipping at all.

[@BottleCaps]

@woodbullyltd so when it's all done is that going to pass code?

[@richralston1705]

Wet saw? For miters, cutting etc. I would think it would be easier

[@BottleCaps]

Looks cold in Onterrible

[@woodbullyltd]

Yep

[@MSBKYT]

Sir....I have skill for wood working, wood carving and specially metalwelding.... Are you hiring helper?

[@woodbullyltd]

In the spring

Love watching your vids.
Buy yourself some Diarex 4 or 5inch diamond blades, it's what I use over here in Aus, I'm a tiler, so I'm used to cutting porcelain and ceramic all day; I get its probably not something you do all that often, but its like $50AUD which I feel like is a good investment for the time save.
Also waaaayy easier to cut the mitre if you keep your guard on (just trust), you can sort of hold your thumb on the guard and keep the same angle the whole length of the cut

[@robavis4906]

That turned out really nice. Those deck boards look like a pain to work with

[@woodbullyltd]

They can be

[@dustinkrebs8229]

👏👏👏👏👏 non segmented blades definitely chip less💯

[@woodbullyltd]

Yep

[@babahena9180]
