How To Install A Glass Deck Railing SOLO

[@denisrho1019]

Incredible, indeed: your work and the tempered glass resistance!

[@DrewWilson192]

I did this exact thing with th strong $200 Costco metal shelves. They come with high quality wheels, they're super strong, fully adjustable for choosing shelf height, easily cut down if you want to have lower rolling shelves that fit underneath counters or shorter ones that fit conveniently into a low height, basement or storage unit. And only take about 3 minutes to set up. Highly recommend them!

I knew getting up early on Saturday would be worth it!!! Great video, and the project turned out amazing!!

[@BYOTools]

Haha thanks so much as always Mitch. Always appreciate your support and glad getting up early paid off :)

[@adamdoyno4000]

I wouldn’t want to clean that glass regularly but the finished product and installation process was fantastic. Job well done!

[@martharetallick204]

I'd be making the kids clean it. Nothing they couldn't handle if they used soap, water, and a long-handled squeegee. PS: Chores build character.

[@BYOTools]

Ya i understand the cleaning aspect but beauty is pain sometimes haha! Thanks for watching Adam and couldn't agree more Martha :)

[@Sazonman]

At first didn't like the railing system, due to the lower base railing soldering, then once you place the cap, I ended up feeling different....looooookkkkkk amazinggggg.😊👍🏼👍🏼😍😍😍😍

[@sirjamesthenerd]

Nice job as always Brent! That deck has come a long way since you started on it.

[@otakelblanchemanor0659]

Love the look of it! Wonderful to know that the company stands by their product... that's a big win in my book! But to be honest! The best part was when you shattered the panel!! And from multiple angles to boot! Now me, I'd take that shattered panel, frame it, do what is necessary to make it structurally sound and hang it where the sun would shine thru it...now that would be cool!

[@BYOTools]

My thoughts exactly about Viewrail. Thanks so much for watching and I couldn't agree more about the panel. I think I may have to try and incase it in epoxy.

[@Brian18741]

What a transformation, amazing work Brent! 👍

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching and all the support Brian.

[@BigKeith510]

Finished product came out great

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching and the support Keith.

[@SmartTurf]

What a great install. Thank you for the detailed BTS!🙌🔨

[@burningtree878]

Man that looks so good 🤩 Great job!!

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching BT

[@XSR_RUGGER]

Plumb, you're looking for plumb on all four sides😅. Looks amazing. I just found your channel and am enjoying the content. Very informative but concise which is very much appreciated. How is it keeping the glass panels clean? Seems as that would be quite a bit of work.

[@rhkips]

Gorgeous!! Super-strong, too! That could definitely take a 4-year-old running into it full-tilt, as they're prone to do! Not sure if this is the product for me, as I really have nothing interesting to look at from the places I'd want to install it, but I LOVE the sleek, modern look it provides, and it's definitely now on my short-list of products to consider for the front deck reno and rear deck build! I'm guessing the panels are actually manufactured on a per-project measurement basis, rather than a pre-made size that you'd have to "make fit?"

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching and all the input. Yes the glass is manufactured per project, which is why the glass took a while to get. Best way to do it in order to get the best look possible.

[@Sylvan_dB]

The second set of glass makes a beautiful railing. I was wondering why the first set was so smudged and wondered if it had been shipped that dirty or if handling during install had left a bunch of schmooze on the glass. Being defective explained it!

[@lisaferrara8120]

Beautiful!

[@lisaferrara8120]

@@barbie.oppenheimer Oh, my bad! Forgive my omission.

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching as always Lisa.

[@rajeshmaratha3970]

Great information, great job

[@jumper4000]

It looks beautiful. What exact model of View Rail is this? Do you the link to it by any chance?

[@christienordhielm2949]

Does the laminate stand up to strong sun? Does the plastic between the glass get cloudy over time?

[@GreenPlasticWaterCan]

Stainless fasteners used in/on aluminium... I think you might have to reconsider your rust/oxidation statement. These aluminium post will start to oxidize and the paint will eventually come off.

[@honesthouse-b9u]

Can you provide estimate of labor hour per panel or linear feet, I have a 130' railing to do.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Nice glass install 👍 Im thinking Elon should have used this in his CyberTruck 🤣

[@BYOTools]

Haha right?! I’ve noticed that you’ve watched and commented on numerous videos recently Patrick. Thanks for all the support and the comments. Truly appreciated.

[@sirsirosariya9617]

How much did this project cost??? I have had really bad luck and hard time with glass shops and after seeing your video I would love to do my glass railing and partition walls myself. Any help or advice from you would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@jjbgmb719]

Did it chip or anything before the final hit?

[@blyatberry7036]

Wooow realy strong glas

[@jeffchivington]

Can you get tinted?

[@antonoat]

Great job!👏👍😀

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@Obtuse94]

How are bird strikes?

[@GregDalton-qq3qk]

You list everything except the manufactures web site, where do I go to order hardware

[@mcmullaj1]

I feel like the the posts should be on the other side of the railing

[@districtnerfco.8390]

How much for this setup?

[@EvendimataE]

it looks like that is very expensive and will require a lot of maintenance.....if i dont have small kids, i prefer those stainless cable or rod type railings

[@BYOTools]

Definitely not a cheap railing but it sure is beautiful and well made. I love the cable and rod railing look as well. We'll see how much maintenance this one requires down the road :) Thanks so much for watching.

[@edwardcomiskey6556]

But aren’t those rubber grommets a safety feature, separating the glass from fasteners. I hope the second set of glass had the holes in the correct place. I also hope you backchared for all the extra labor.

[@mike25684]

I would put the broken panel in a frame and make it wall art.

[@jeffbguarino]

Did they pay you for the labor when you had to replace every piece of glass ? The new glass looks great but how can you recommend this company when they sent you bad glass the first time ?

[@verticalbitewing]

obviously i want to know the total cost of this?

[@AlainStar]

🙏👏👍💪

[@BYOTools]

Thanks for watching :)

[@siriosstar4789]

excellent execution but the original design with the roof and railing was waay more my taste . The glass support members looklikan after thought .

[@BYOTools]

Everyone has their own taste so I understand that one. Thanks so much for watching though.

[@siriosstar4789]

of course just personal taste and your work was absolute exceptional . well done !

[@johnschorr596]

Should have just flipped the talons around so you didn't have to go down on ladder to tighten up lol

[@nathanplatt5517]

That's not just tempered glass that's laminated tempered glass.

[@eszyx8062]

[@jerrydickson1108]

Man, you talk sooooo much!

[@BYOTools]

I do Jerry but please keep in mind that there is a reason for it. I love what I do for a living because I’m trying to help others learn how to build in an entertaining way. In my opinion most diy channels out there are more about entertaining their audience and not providing detailed nuances on why they’re doing what they’re doing. The narration is specifically in mind to help people auditorily learn why I’m doing things and not just visually. Thanks for watching and if my talking is too much just put me on mute. I won’t be offended haha :)
