Building A Floating Deck Against The House!

Another chapter of the My Backyard Saga... yes we went with the Owens Corning Lumber And Weardeck for this one! we even do a deflection test at 24 on center joists.
This frame will never rot or warp. This might be the perfect solution for ground contact decks or coastal projects!
Thanks for watching!

Nice cantilever action to butt against the house. New technique unlocked for me. Thanks!

[@adamd7078]

Great job! Beautiful craftsmanship, and loved the materials used.

[@woodbullyltd]

Thanks!

[@jaredyandell1220]

Just found your channel love it! IMO I always do m composite decks on 12” centers they warp really badly if not,especially here in Texas. I’m watching your videos now. Competition one was my favorite so far😅

[@woodbullyltd]

Thanks for the sub! More competition videos to come

[@chasedanger9734]

Man that lumber miters nice. I just sold my second oc lumber deck. Having a hard time matching my labor price to the material. 50% deposit needs to cover materials...I've started undercutting my labor to make the sales... asking for a 2/3 deposit. Are you doing lifetime craftsmanship?

[@gordoncallanan5869]

Nice 🤙

[@woodbullyltd]

Thanks! 😁

[@TheBalloonGuys]

I noticed the beams don’t fit snugly into the Pylex saddles. If I did this method, should I be worried about lateral movement of the beams in the saddles, or is the one screw you used from saddle to beam sufficient to prevent that? Thanks again!

[@woodbullyltd]

Once the ledger and joists are secured it won’t move. As but you could use a 1/2” piece of PVC fascia to fill the gap as well.

[@TheBalloonGuys]

awesome video, learn a lot of technics , what's the name of that composite 2x6's or 2x8's boards you used ?

Gord size is everything, never believe the Miss's 😂 It's been years since I've seen chargers hanging from a wall and man that's just gold! Glad you're still using your multi impact to its fullest. Have you tried the power stack batteries? If you have white leads for your pica give them a go on dark colours, I'll use a white lead during the day and even my coworker is starting to come over to the dark side

[@woodbullyltd]

Yep. Love the powerstacks

[@batmansdad3195]

@@woodbullyltd same, just hate the price

[@TheBalloonGuys]

Great vid! I’m considering using Pylex plies for a small DIY deck I’m planning. 1) you find them reliable? 2) is it feasible to drive them without the tool (what is it?) or would it be too difficult? Thanks!

[@woodbullyltd]

It can be done with a 2x4 it’s just tougher in clay that way. You could always rent a compressor and pneumatic 1” ratchet if it’s a one time thing.

[@TheBalloonGuys]

@@woodbullyltd it would be one time. Yeah I think the rental fee would definitely outweigh the time it would take to twist them into the ground manually. So it’s a 1” ratchet on that thing? Thanks. I’m looking for a solution to put footers close to my house as I’ll be doing a freestanding deck similar to yours. Thanks for responding by the way! Your vids really are both entertaining and helpful.

[@janabimustafa]

Amazing work! Can't wait to see the end result. What is the name of the metal posts and the tool you were using to drive them into the ground?

[@woodbullyltd]

Pylex helical piles

[@sajbrown]

Great work. Love your channel, im a suscriber! Is there a way to secure the saddle on the top of the Pylex adjustable screws to stop them from wobbling and lifting, or is it not that important?

[@woodbullyltd]

They come with a thumbscrew for just that.

[@DaveLandis]

Whats the spacing/ count of the pylex along the supports? Do you need one for under each joist position?

[@woodbullyltd]

I usually space them 6’

[@venkatinator]

Amazing video thanks! Can you use this framing method/design for a deck that’s 6-feet tall off the ground? I’m in the GTA too

[@woodbullyltd]

Yes but you would need to attach the ledger to the rim of the house and maybe the foundation simultaneously

[@venkatinator]

Thanks. But what if my house has brick siding? Does Ontario code allow the ledger to attach to the rim joist through the brick? Or must the deck be freestanding?

[@kannankana]

Is this impact wrench can be rented from tools centre? Also what attachment do you use for impact wrench?

[@woodbullyltd]

You could rent a pneumatic one with a compressors also you could use a 1” driver bit and shave it to 7/8” with a grinder

[@jbmerpchud]

Love to do this, but here in sarnia it's retarded to find hdpe/pvc boards in black. Wanted to do the same fascia bump up profile frame but it's going to be somewhere around 3000$ for a 14x4 landing deck delivered from Toronto because here all we get is light grey, dark grey, slightly lighter grey or shitpaste brown. The frame itself is 1000 ffs. Stupid. If i paid someone labor for my 14x4 I'd probably be spending 5 grand.

[@user-zd3rj4gc3e]

is it ok to have the deck level with the concrete. What about in the winter when there is snow?

[@woodbullyltd]

We leave gaps for drainage between the boards. Also the doors have weep holes. I’ve never had an issue with snow against the glass

[@user-zd3rj4gc3e]

@@woodbullyltd thank you. i appreciate you replying!

[@andrewschafer8986]

Is this in Canada? If so it’s a free for all on floating decks right?

Not quite but kind of

[@csbarbourv]

What did you drive in @2:43?

[@woodbullyltd]

Pylex

[@csbarbourv]

@@woodbullyltd Right before you drove in the Pylex, there was something green about 1/2" thick that you drove in with the Bosch. Is that also part of the Pylex system?

[@woodbullyltd]

@@csbarbourv that’s was a piece of rebar

[@csbarbourv]

@@woodbullyltd Ahhh. That makes sense. Guides the Pylex no doubt. Also lets you know if you're about to hit an immovable object.
