Great videos! I´ve been binge watching a lot the past weeks :D A side note to this video though... If you pour concrete under and around the post, the water can't go anywhere when it's raining but up into the bottom of the post, thereby rotting it out quicker. Just fill down earth up under and a bit up the sides, then pour concrete in. Then there is drainage around the post. Keep up the good work :) Greetings from Denmark

Nice job, some of those hardwoods (like Vitex) stink bad when cut. Although the doubled bearer is covered by a full board in this case, in general it is not good practice to double up like that, since moisture gets trapped between the joist faces and can eventually rot. That was the base cause of the Berryman bridge disaster. Use sill flashing tape over the bearer or allow airflow between the faces.
@DiscoFang5 жыл бұрын
Not valid. This timber is CCA pine. Sill flashing tape is NOT good for the joists that sit on it. If you read the packaging you'll also see sill tape is not rated for UV exposure.
@DiscoFang5 жыл бұрын
Sill tape and flashing on bearers or joists in exposed areas has zero proof of efficacy. It's one of those things that seems a good idea until you realise it's effect on the timber that sits on it not just what's going on under it. DPC and flashing is for acting as a barrier separating wet from dry environments. Bearers and joists are both wet environments.

Really enjoying your vids. Could I make a small request to help amateurs like myself, could you give details on sizes and depths of holes etc and explain why. It probably seems obvious to builders but to novices this is info that we need guidance on
@deathhamster_22136 жыл бұрын
Loads of factors go into it bro. The width of your hole should be large enough so that there is at least 200 of concrete all thee way around your post, I normally make my holes 400x400. Depth is a little trickier and varies massively depending on what the pile is going to have to do. For most 'normal' piles (piles bearing a vertical load) on flat and stable soil the post should have a penetration of about 200 min. Always remember to add on an extra 100 so that there is a gap under the post for concrete. Piles on the corner of the structure are called anchor piles. For anchor piles the post should be a minimum of 900 deep since the post will be required to carry lateral loads. It also depends on the soil too, on firm flat ground you can get away with relatively shallow piles. On hilly and gravelly ground you'll want to dig A LOT deeper. Also, a general rule for all piles; the taller the pile the deeper you dig. And in NZ decking piles taller than 1.5m will require a consent from the council. and bear in mind that other piles, like piles for retaining walls have much different rules.
@danneukirch44866 жыл бұрын
Great info. to get the 100 under the pile of concrete, do you poor the concrete first and let it dry, then place the pile and new concrete round the sides? Or is the poured concrete firm enough straight up so you can do it all at once? Cheers.
@deathhamster_22136 жыл бұрын
Nah, don't do that man. What you wanna do hold the posts up using scrap timber, like you see him do in the video at about 1:00. Your trussing should be holding the post securely and 100 off the bottom of your hole. In the video you see him use what we call a 'string-line', this will let you get everything nicely level and lined up. It is also critical that your posts be pretty plum, especially for taller piles, otherwise the post will experience lateral torque (which is bad). The best way truss your stuff is to place a long plank (or series of planks) along the stringline, nail your post on to this plank first, this will allow you get the piles lined up horizontally with each other. Then you'll want to drive a wooden stake into the ground, about a 800 away from the hole and in line with of the edge of the post perpendicular to line of piles. Take a shorter length of scrap timber and use it to make a truss from the peg to the top of the pile. (About 1:37 you can see what I'm on about bro.) Nail the truss to the stake first and then use a level to get the post plum before nailing it to the truss (get yourself a mate and a nail gun for this). This truss will make sure the post is held plum while you pour the concrete. Now that your posts are being held tightly plum and 100 off of the bottom of the hole you'll want to pour in maybe 200 of concrete into the bottom of the hole and using a stick or your hand poke the concrete in to the gap under the post and then pour in the rest to fill. As you're filling up the hole use a trowel or a skinny rod (like a bit of rebar) to prod the concrete. This will make the concrete more fluid and help get it into those hard-to-reach spots (like under the post lol) as well as causing any voids or bubbles to rise up to the top. Keep the posts trussed up until the concrete sets and you'll be sweet as.

The issue is the pike is H5 treated which is basically an envelope treatment. The top of the pile gets cut to the correct height which means its not going to like sitting water on it. You could always coat the cut end with a timber preservative but its also good practice to cut an angle and it looks tidier too. The uncut end of the pile is fine the moisture from the earth wont cause any issues as it is protected.

I'm about to try my hand at building a deck. I've been watching how-to videos (this was one of the best), but they all tend to gloss over details like what kind of nails to use, what kind of wood to use etc. Most recommend using screws to attach the decking to the foundation frame, but nails were used in this video. Nail tops don't look great, do they? And how are they hammered in without damaging the wood? They'd have to be slightly recessed, otherwise there'd be a risk to anyone who walked on the deck in their bare feet. And is there an advantage - apart from maybe it looks better - to having the deck "floating", as opposed to building it directly on the ground? Any tips or advice wold be very much appreciated. I'm planning on putting a hot tub on my deck, if that's relevant.
@benjaminescolero66454 жыл бұрын
Hey man make sure you use pressure treated lumber. Another option is cedar as well. Nails for the gram it self you can also get “treated” nails which prevent them and the wood from rotting. And for the decking use screws always screws back in the day nails were used but screws make it last a lot longer and keep the wood from twisting. As far as the hot tub goes you hey to make sure it is properly supported IE post and beam directly supporting your tub.

Leveling is leveling its just which tool you have that desides what you use. A visible line laser is awesome first thing in the morning or last thing at night or on an overcast day. A rotating visible dot laser is good with a reader and also when it has a remote it can be brighter than a line laser while also possibly having a gradient mode. A non visible rotating laser is good in bright daylight with a reader. A dumpy is very accurate and best with 2 people but can be used on your own by nailing a vertical staff to a post and hanging your tape from the top and reading the dimensions you see from the dumpy. A water level is great if you have no air bubbles in the hose. A theodolite can be used as well in this situation but its a bit extreme. Straight edge and a good level will work well by putting nails in the side of posts to sit the straight edge on. By the way if you are able get the tutors to show the class how to use both the theodolite and the dumpy as they are still the best tools to use on larger sites and most builders don't seam to know how to use a theodolite let alone stadia lines in a dumpy.

A couple of schools of thought on that. Most bags of concrete tell you to put 4-6" of dry concrete in the hole first and set the post on top of that. Reasoning being that it's better to seal the post up than to have the bottom exposed to the ground where it will constantly be in contact with moist earth. I do privacy fencing in the summer and have pulled up my fair share of old posts. Sealed or open at the bottom, after 20+ years they all rot the same down there :). As for the tops, the posts with a bit of concrete above ground level fair the best.
@tubestick006 жыл бұрын
The post will stay wet whether it is on a bracket or in the concrete or directly on the earth at the bottom of the hole. If it's on a bracket and staying wet its treatment has been severely diminished by cutting slots etc. And removing the most heavily treated surfaces and exposing potentially non treated central inner timber of the post. Plus the fact that a bracket fixed post is far weaker than a post set Into concrete. Setting into the concrete is also cheaper as no expensive bracket and labour installing it onto the bracket, And putting the post directly onto the earth is terrible practice unless your building a fence which only has lateral load. So in short, your wrong, and they did a correct process here in this video. Think outside your box

You guys have stiff decking, we have safe sets. Movie sets, that is. I'd love a Vitex job, it's the kind of thing we might see on a very high end home in the Berkeley hills overlooking San Francisco bay. Lots of exotic wood species decking them thar hills.

Bad idea to put post in the concrete, wood shoild be disconnected from concrete. Some water and humidity here will degrade wood. Concrete in the groud, metal bracket then wood post.. and it will last.

Regulations in my country state that beams of wood can't touch the concrete at all. Some people have it so easy... :/
