2015 Deck Build - with polycarbonate roof and PVC side covers

In Spring 2015 I built a timber deck with polycarbonate roof and PVC side-covers & flexi-windows. This video follows the build from start to finish.
Tutorial on fitting side covers is here: • How to Fit Clonmel cov...
Thanks a bunch to the team who helped make this possible: Les, Seamus, the crew at Clonmel Covers and of course my wonderful wife!

I am very impressed with this timber deck and enclosure!!! It came out GREAT!!

A well-thought-out project to be sure with an even better result. I appreciate the know-how and sensible intuition which went into the addition of a new "room" to your home. You certainly will get a lot of use out of the space and the rest of us have gained a lot of insight and knowledge thanks to you and your wonderful video. Thank you

Just watched to the end and it's fabulous I wanted you to walk inside with the camera at the end. Love your accent too. I want to move to Ireland now :-).

[@techassyst]

Awesome build has given me some ideas brilliantly explained and narrated many thanks for taking the time to make it

[@MannysMadeatHome]

Ha! I figured the accent was Irish! This is awesome, our corrugated plastic flew away during one of the recent storms, they were only nailed down, this is exactly what I needed!

What a great project.Awesome!! great idea of framing the concrete pads with the timber for alignment. I like the use of ceramic tiles with the gorilla glue to act as packers underneath. Don't want to be the old man here, but I would have used timber wrapped in DPC and screwed( tanalized timber I should add), from the underneath of the main floor joists. I have a suspicion those ceramic tiles might fracture and crumble after a few years. But I might be wrong, with that glue there could be sufficient flex and of course being ceramic tiles there will be no problem of rising damp to the timbers. All in all, you are a meticulous craftsman. One other point, perhaps guttering could have been built into the design to save splash back on the PVC panels, but that perhaps will be resolved with gravel or paving slabs. Still, I hope you don't think I'm being picky, a really great video and talk through. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely fantastic job. I truly admire your work. The method of your progress was very well thought out and executed in a most skillful manner. Giving the attention to detail, having intelligent forethought and preforming excellent work are all the mark of a true craftsman. Job well done. The same goes for your video. very well put together. No unnecessary goings on or annoying soundtrack, just well presented informative narrative. It was a true pleasure to watch.
