The Low Curves Deck SUPERCUT || Dr Decks

[@gsh319]

Great work and thanks for showing all the work, dirty and clean alike. Thank you

[@etarasov]

Great work. For that curved fascia you could/should have scribed it, just like you’d do for baseboard in a house.

[@PatriciaNicoll-e5v]

50:12 amazing project the difference between professional, and weekend warrior I would like to try a similar project for my deck thank you

[@chrishayes6057]

Love your videos! I've built several wood decks, but am planning a new composite deck for my house. I am learning a lot from you.

[@drdecks]

Great! Don’t forget to share! Thanks for following

[@arthurgriffin1210]

First time viewer. Tremedouse job. Despite naysayers your art work and your believe defines your work. Thanx

[@marioalejandro9563]

Wow that was Awesome I love it I learned a lot thank you

[@fabienheres5886]

Yes. good job i loved it. I m so sad you can't make your deck in france. Have a good weekend . Big up from France👍👍👍👍👍

[@drdecks]

Much Love

[@coltutley]

Wow, You are on a whole different level! I have built a lot of decks and learning tons from you, thank you for taking the time and creating some of the best content I’ve seen. How in the world do you estimate a deck like this?

[@danielalvares4619]

Amazing learnt something new how to bend the trex decking sheet

[@josefestrada5202]

Treated wood can be bolted to concrete, that is why it is been used us bottom plate on wood buildings

[@souloffly]

love the thinking of leaving the last edge open to finish the last board a full board without cutting

[@raymondmakar4940]

First time viewer of your channel. Really nice job on your low deck. Learned a lot from your video.

[@kwaskeconstruction3382]

Thought I was the only one that believes in finishing on a full deck board:)

[@danielqian8899]

I agree this is art work instead of quick construction work. The plant in the background looks nice as well. Is it black bamboo? You mentioned Cutek Extreme is applied at cut spot. How does it compare to copper naphthenate for this kind of application in terms preserving wood from decay?

[@austinmiller5516]

Do you have a video of you cutting your radius' out?

[@bryansummerlin8149]

Man, you should not have shown me that you can bend composite boards! 😏 Super cool work Bro!

[@scottsprowl7484]

Looksgreat!!!

[@williamkempher5152]

How is he cutting the curves in the wood with the framing?

[@vincerobertson1214]

What is the concern about the pine needles over the years @ 15:20, the needles laying on the joists between the decking boards or the needles potentially laying in grooved edge boards being aesthetically unattractive in which this case you guys installed solid edge boards

[@chriswalls4277]

awesome work! @drdecks how would you build a Low Deck in an HOA where digging is prohibited due to irrigation being just below the surface?

[@Im2qwik]

How does your back handle that brutality :)

[@MrBitwise]

What PC application do you use to lay out the decks, can it help calculate Radius?

[@134rao]

Hey buddy, pier blocks are cool, but, as a building inspector you should explain to your peeps that you can only use the pier blocks if a deck is NOT ATTACHED to the house. The reason for this is, if attached to the house, it becomes part of the primary structure, and therefore requires footings. Not attached to the house, it becomes an accessory structure, and as such, does not require footings. The only issue is, as an accessory structure, most municipalities have a code stating accessory structures need to be x amount of feet from the primary. That being said, I don’t think most inspectors would care for a ground level deck…it’s just like a paver patio..the blocks are more for stability than frost protection. Anyway, nice job, looks great. You know what you’re doing. I just thought it would be helpful to people watching so they understand you can’t just stick the pier blocks anywhere. Plus, it makes you look smart…lol. I’m liking the curves. I just ordered the heatcon for a side job I’m doing. Good stuff. Keep it up. Best Rick

[@mp-xt2rg]

I'm surprised that the last deck lasted 25 years. Where I live if you build that low they rot out in 5 or 6 years. I'd think a patio would be a better choice since it's so low anyway.

[@anthonywyche6027]

Where can I purchase the materials that are used to bend the wood?

[@joehardin]

Options are either build your own box (I've heard of people using baseboard heaters in this application), Trex CustomCurve machine (about $6k), or Heatcon heating blanket set (about $3k). May be able to call a lumber yard in your area that sells composite deck because sometimes they rent out heaters to contractors. I've also heard it's easier to bend azek or timebertek than it is trex, so i think people tend to get those for the curved boards even if they got trex for the rest of the deck. You can also bend railing but it takes some experimentation.

[@emeraldcitycarpenter]

How much can I expect a 20’x5-1/2” Azek deck board to grow in the sun here in Washington state? Assume the decking is installed in the winter. I’m trying to plan where my perpendicular boards will run into the perimeter picture frame board.

[@drdecks]

At least 1/4”

[@kannankana]

Great work!!!, question: can you rent heatcon kit?

[@drdecks]

No. The equipment is so specific that it is not rented out. We do create curved planks for other clients if you’re interested

[@vincerobertson1214]

That's really good answer to a great question!

[@ericdelay5269]

What is that cutting station?

[@gsh319]

For perfection you need the skill and the math... learn the trade and learn the math and used together you’ll finish with perfection.

[@robcappa]

You guys did all that framing in 3-4 days ? Holy crap that’s fast. Low clearance, curved decking is not easy. If it was, Everyone could do it.

[@drdecks]

Truth. Thanks

[@andylee2815]

Does anybody know where he gets the circle border from?

[@unstoppable3208]

What computer program do you use to design your decks ?

[@elvissuarez2456]

Dónde puedo comprar la máquina para calentar el deck y diblarlo

[@davecox9347]

Did you make your jigs for the curved boards?

[@drdecks]

Indeed

[@hardywalker5615]

Tell em doc! You haven’t ever built nothing like this lol

[@hiltibosch5332]

Proper planning prevents poor performance

[@joehardin]

Impressive string of P's there

[@douglasmichel6361]

Level and shim the fascia in front of its final position and scribe the bottom….

[@mxg709]

I thought it was looking great until they screwed it from the top Why not use the clips that go along the edge and have a clean screw less look ? Was the customer too cheap ?

[@drdecks]

They are hidden fasteners by FastenMaster called Cortex. Look it up.

[@douglasmichel6361]

It’s Plumb, not level….lol

[@josefestrada5202]

Learning a lot on you videos, BUT Please protect yourself when cutting treated wood, your are breathing all the dust, not good
