How To Build a 12x12 Two Level Pool Deck with Trex part 1 framing

[@christopherc2780]

If I needed a deck built this is the guy I'd want to build it.

[@PatrickWagz]

It's 4:30 am I have no plans to build a deck in the next 10 years I don't have a pool Watched the entire video!!

[@WildwoodSubRailfan]

That little clip of you falling in the hole was a nice touch, I tip my hat to you sir.

[@mattkimler4101]

Brush off the haters bud. Thats the most professional install I've ever seen. I wish I could find a contractor to do work like that. Well done 👏

[@trefunk3743]

Love using Trex, all screwed from the underside so no holes or visible screws, highly flexible so you can pattern it to a degree, also I slotted it and installed frosted glass panels instead of railings, absolutely beautiful!!

[@dinospd]

I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I loved the video!

[@zancrus9629]

Gotta say one thing I enjoyed when we moved as a kid was building a new deck at out new home. I really can't wait to get a house and be able to put up a deck. I love the design on this.

[@ShawnSnowRI11]

This video explained everything and was set up perfectly. As a new carpenter I’ve been watching so much KZbin but the quality and direction of your vids is honest and easy to follow and to the point. Love it. Thank you sir

[@andersemilsolvig1633]

I love that this was released in 2020, 14th of October and its now, today 04.04.2021 that this video is getting all the attention it deserves. Love the video!

[@letapisrouge9250]

Anyone who has ever looked down on a tradesman - these people are geniuses. this is a SCIENCE in itself.

[@hannahcoyne]

This is so satisfying to watch. Everything just lines up so perfectly. 👌

[@markraisner9000]

Nice to see you back on the air!

[@mattiefattie3895]

Not gonna lie. I watched the ferret run into the wall like 20 times and you falling into the hole about the same. Awesome project!

[@saaucii308]

Mink*

[@BryanRojo]

great job using the concealed hangers. Most people dont know about them

[@therandomgamer8668]

the gunfire sound effects he added at 12:20 lmao i was confused for a second thinking i had another video playing in a different tab 😂

[@GregSereda]

I just dedicated 17 minutes of my life to watch this video. Time well spent.

[@deadzone6602]

I know nothing about building, but I really enjoyed watching the build progress! It looks awesome!

[@490347134]

I like your work! greetings from a German carpenter

[@Deckbuilding]

Im German / Irish Thanks for watching over there

[@Abstract180]

This makes me miss my framing days. Stuck in a truck too often now. Great video!

[@krisboyce77]

This guy is a god damn champion. A true American hero!

[@roblavoie2623]

Craig, beautiful work! Bought a pool and have been searching the interwebs for two-tiered deck ideas. This is a goldmine! Thank you!

[@Deckbuilding]

Glad it was helpful!

[@misspandesal]

You are a mastercraftsman..... A lost art! Your work is absolutely stunning.

[@Podunk82]

One of my best memories as a kid was helping my dad build a huge deck that went completely around a friends deck.

[@lumberjack6444]

I work in outside sales for 84 Lumber Company and I have to say the amount of extra details I see go into your work versus other contractors I've seen before is truly professional grade work. Nice work sir. I especially appreciate how you used tar around your posts.

[@Deckbuilding]

Wow, thank you for the nice words. I used to go to 84 to get all the treated lumber. But they closed the Erie,Pa branch down.

[@devonproffitt10]

Beautiful craftsmanship. I look forward to watching the rest!

[@benc1927]

After all that, in retrospect I think it'd been easier to just dig the pool in the ground haha

[@ozzygilliam9194]

To be fair, no grass or dirt directly near it, it would be harder for debris on the ground to get in it.

[@javiercerezalanton8172]

I think that too

[@ItsIdaho]

I would get a real inground pool first. Then make a deck around it. Who knows how long this pool holds.

[@benc1927]

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

[@sawyerbarnes7439]

Deck around an above ground pool? Spinners on a Honda

[@ProductionsDRM]

I really wish I would've seen this video a lot sooner, I've been helping my uncle build a deck similar to this one and neither one of us really knew what we were doing so we just winged most of it. Could've used a lot of these framing tricks to make the job go a lot quicker

[@pnw5033]

I love building so much I watch videos like this on the weekend lmao

[@bookooc5605]

Glad to see another project! I wish I had a contractor down here in GA. like you to do the work I need done.

[@eraldoidras]

you make it look so easy

[@taschenonkel]

Interesting to see you Americans nail everything in such constructions and not screw it together. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up your great work!

[@Bluecollar711]

I love the positivity in the criticism all-in-one video going along the allowance of the finest education while working by yourself and understanding how to complete a project by yourself this is a perfect example of having the perfect education enough experience and the power of understanding how to use power tools you are definitely somebody that deserves a type of message like I'm leaving now much-loved much respect my good friend thank you and thank you by the way for all the information that you have given me and I thought I was good LOL😂👊🇮🇹👊

[@jvsmeds]

Great to see you back Craig

[@arcacarpintaria]

Hello my friend, I miss watching your videos, for a long time they were my source of inspiration ... Big hug and congratulations for the work

[@Deckbuilding]

Thanks so much!!! I love the pictures you post on Facebook

[@arcacarpintaria]

@@Deckbuilding Tanks my teacher

[@Deckbuilding]

Your in Brazil, do they have Trex composite decking, rails and lattice at the lumber yards ?

[@josephjenkinsswasv2559]

Excellent work. I am doing a Trex deck around a swim spa and you make it look easy brother😄 The intricate part is building the access panel for service and maintenance I want it to tie into the deck and hopefully 🙏 without the panel weighing 200 pounds

[@wesleymcfarlane9612]

Man... u make it look too easy. Nice work.

[@r6speed45]

This dude is a BEAST!

[@christianjanis9772]

After so many months..good having u back

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

I’m a interior exterior remodelor that includes decks and pretty much everything I’m very impressed your bad ass brother

[@Zefram0911]

amazing that this is a one man operation. super impressed.

[@Deckbuilding]

I did have some help digging the holes

[@hulihulihaole1633]

Wow, I’m astonished great job looks amazing

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Dang that's a nice backyard. Awesome work deck constructors and pool constructors

[@Mr67Stanger]

Great job. I have a similar house/backyard configuration and I was looking for something like this for my yard. This is awesome, I think I can do this. Thank you very much!!

[@Nickgowans]

Jeez those are some Hella deep holes for a deck

[@wilhallman2890]

Excellent work. That deck will last a lifetime.

[@micdiva]

Wish this dude would post more videos

[@blakejordan4364]

How could he? This shit probably took him a month

[@MrRtc555]

Wow your videos AND projects always look so good!

[@George_Gautier]

Best construction video!! Exact speed and clear explained.

[@phillipm3799]

4ft down!? That code is nuts. I could see if you were building a house on it but for deck… dang

[@Tonemalone..]

So insane

[@alexill]

Craig you’ve been missed. Still watch your old videos from time to time and I always learn something new. Your content is the best.

[@franco11banda]

Having a few drinks, getting ideas from your great video... you had me thinking I was hearing things at 12:22.

[@FrixFrixX]

Ratatata. Asmr

[@bluephoenix2894]

Glad you back

[@Dchero45]

Me in 2020: This is a really cool, well informed video. Me in 2021: God damn! Imagine how much that cost in wood!?!

[@Ghost-lg8ub]

was looking for a comment like this

[@nickhayzz]

i work at home depot, can confirm, wood is expensive

[@chbgator2226]

LOL who has not fallen into a hole they dug a time or two! Great video, thanks!

[@Bl4ckVV0lF]

Absolute beautiful job!!!

[@pintorespanol6123]

wow, amazing job!!! Greetings from the Dominican Republic

[@MichaelB2021]

in US everything is nailed, unimaginable here in Germany. Great job and looks great. I have the same pool size.

[@RahhmiPoofs]

you left in the fall. props to you. Badass!

[@ZeyadLT]

The man is back!

[@kungfooed5999]

well if there is ever a tornado, hide under the deck!

[@WeldproWeldingEquipment]

Great Job Craig! Love your content!

[@LatterdayLamanite]

Beautiful work if not overkill. As many hangers as you install, may I recommend a pneumatic palm nailer? As a former general contractor w/20 years in the business, I can tell you it's a life saver! Keep up the good work!

[@gitarplayer229]

Glad I’m not the only one that fell in a footing hole during my deck build. Lol

[@Jeroen_a]

@11:39 You covered a dutch saying..... " If you dig a hole for someone.... you fall in to it yourself" translated that would be about... What goes around comes around.

[@bohicasnafufubar]

I was interested in the framing part. thank you for the education.

[@jamesrandy8298]

this guy make it look EASY...

[@rtunyebgvfdcyrmjhgnd]

bc it is....hahahahahahaha

[@marquisethomas5611]

Them damn holes got you & the ferret 😂

[@trahuynh_usa]

I watched your video over and over nice professional work

[@srulygoldstein7267]

Thats sick!

[@bvogel8999]

Great framing! Have a pool deck similar set up this spring. Only issues is with burying the posts in the ground below grade. Different codes different places. Still great work

[@christopherc2780]

This dudes a beast.

[@Robsieeh]

even tho the poles are sitting only surrounded with dirt this pool deck still looks stronger then the actual house

[@Harpiegirl123]

Very impressive looks fantastic and you have done this solo amazing

[@johnny2100]

*all that lumber you need to be a millionaire to afford this deck right now*

[@AlexTheFishEnjoyer]

????????????????

[@Homelessmilkman]

Lmao this is building on a budget would never recommend using trash timber for a client

[@davidoutside]

Noooooooo video is over! Can’t wait for part two

[@BryanRojo]

Nice im gonna follow this to build my trex deck! Greetings from TX

[@danielivanovic5223]

very good job ,nice video editing.Really nice to watch and learn.THX

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Looks amazing. Very inspirational as I'm about to build mine. 😊

[@TheUnleashed123]

You are a legend

[@jordanfernandez2469]

This man gotta be rich!!! Flaunting all that wood around like that. Like he's just tossing gold around. Must be nice.

[@ThinkBotStudios]

Video was made prior to wood price increase

[@jamor2549]

That ferret ran head first to the house lmao

[@Pbs-xs4xk]

Smack!

[@Deckbuilding]

it wasn't a ferret, it was an escaped mink from a nearby mink farm

[@brucejuice39]

Why didn't you fill you footers with concrete completely? I've never seen anyone just use a 60LB bag below frost line before. Truly curious

[@Abstract180]

I think It’s smart. That way you have a solid and flat foundation. You can place any set the post location AFTER you frame up some of the joists to perfectly dial it in. The posts will never sink downward, and the backfilled dirt will keep the posts from shifting side to side. Smart.

[@allanevans6855]

because he doesn't know what he's doing

[@Stadt101]

the area this is in might not require it, but do where i live cause shit moves.

[@CitizenPerkins]

Wow! Nicely done, sir! I've never seen anyone build a multi-level deck by themselves! Kudos! 👍👍😁

[@Pascal_86]

Obviously the best Part @ 11:39 :)

[@TheManWithNoName93]

I hope you upload more often

[@kennylc2193]

But all kidding aside, this is absolutely amazing work.

[@msal]

I worked with a rented augur once to help drill holes for a new fence, except it didn't work when we tried to use it. So we took it back, and when we got at the rental shop and the worker tried it, it started working. So we took it back to the fence and once more it stopped working. So we did it by hand 😂

[@KluklasLP]

american houses are so simple .. i wondering evertime how they even last more than 10 years >D greatings from germany

[@mrmaximuser]

Oh Ich dachte ich wäre der einzige Deutsche hier. Und die Wände sind auf fucking Plastik, das ist Ekelhaft.

[@aydencz1239]

1 nuke and tiny Germany is gone

[@ForcedEditsTM]

You probably serve hitler

[@MrLLBLLB]

American homes and decks last decades upon decades. Alittle bit of light maintenance over the years and it’s good as new

[@joshpavelich5235]

@@MrLLBLLB Yeah it's a stereotype, lots of new builds are amazing quality. Just some shitty ones give everyone else a bad wrap :(

[@justhereyeah1112]

Thank you!! And I’m so glad you’re okay!

[@danf4616]

Great project. Watch out for those holes! 😉

[@cdbwc]

I love seeing the concrete mixed in holes.. it always get the best mix.. as apposed to like bins or a mixer that can save time and is made for it Shrugs.. people love doing things the hard way,.

Great video and great project. So beautiful !

[@baloo4522]

why are we all here now and not 6 months ago?

[@Deckbuilding]

Because most people build decks starting in the spring and through summer. So they race to the KZbin to see how i build em.

[@Mariesantana1311]

You are truly amazing you have great skills love it ty for sharing the video 😊 Excellent work

[@brettb8825]

Is it wrong that my favorite part of the video was the white ferret falling into the hole then crashing head first into the side of the house?

[@homes24]

About time.... Geez.... Nice video editing.
