Brent, I have never, ever seen straighter lines on a deck project. I'm jealous and amazed at the same time. Great video!!

[@BYOTools]

Haha love hearing that Mitch! Thanks so much for watching.

[@Sotweetie]

What a beautiful job, thank you for sharing!

[@markomoore1419]

Great work, really impressed

[@naguib2000]

Amazing work, and looks great 👍

[@lisaferrara8120]

You show us neat tricks to use for a specific project, but those tricks can be applied to other projects. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your tips.

[@ajinkyas9948]

This looks amazing man.

[@htownblue11]

That deck looks better than the house! Well done Brent. As usual.

[@BYOTools]

The home owner and I both agree with you haha! More projects to come with this house I assure you. Thanks for watching TJ!

[@ryang5441]

Looks good! I probably would have done a 1/4 inch reveal over the fascia boards, but I dig the way this turned out!

[@marekhullinger598]

Love that you touch on every possible asked question in your videos before it’s asked. 👍

I was waiting for part 2! Nice! Love this episode! As always, keep up the great work ~ esteban

[@12OzOfPee]

I just love watching your videos! I’m never gonna build a deck but your videos are so soothing and informative

[@BYOTools]

Haha love hearing that even if your not going to build one. Maybe one day you’ll have to and you’ll have a head start since you know how it’s done right! Haha!!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

very nice make over 👍 I am doing my makeover/addition next year and TimberTech is top of my list. The only other thing I am considering is a vinyl covering instead to keep under the deck dry; Going to watch your vid on drainage now to see how well it does. Cheers

[@victoryak86]

You have a very engaging way about you in the narration. Good job brother.

[@joemcgeough1616]

Nice job!

[@bechill3784]

Nice work

[@joebinion1]

Great video and I really enjoy your content,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for the kind words and all the support. Truly appreciated.

[@freeyoutubemusic1779]

Great content 😺

[@ModernRemade]

Amazing transformation is right! Makes me feel like maybe I have what it takes to tackle this scope of project someday. Maybe. 😆

[@didz2064]

It looks great! Can't wait to see the railing system you chose.

[@BYOTools]

It’s won’t disappoint :)

[@meganm3270]

I'm glad you caught the missing flashing that's the first thing I noticed when you slid the board under neath

[@rohanyoandje9003]

It look great

[@b3arwithm3]

Great tutorial as usual. There are a couple of thinds i haven't figured out. 1) when cutting the excess to make space for the breaker board, how do you avoid cutting the joist tape? 2) how do we install fascia board that are taller then the rom boards? The reason is i want it to cover the beams below as well. Many thanks

[@javierseba3925]

Thanks

[@Brian18741]

Looks incredible! Looking forward to the rails. Cables?

[@stevenssendegeya7945]

Amazing

[@bartbug1]

Love the "Old battery hammer" ...guilty your Honor lol.

[@kevin8582]

I like that it doesn't shrink like treated lumber and decking boards but the composite are so flemsy.

[@yaqoobtabsu3362]

awesome

[@BigKeith510]

The lines are dead straight. Great video man! Great work as well!

[@fazaldgx6822]

Lovely

[@deepenjoshi4275]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful work. You did not replace the old joists and landed up removing the nails and reused the joists. Under what situation do the joists need to be replaced?

[@ncvman]

Curious why you use the screws over hidden clips? Your spacing looks large also, what that a customer request? 1/4 inch? Nice job.

[@crazycressy7986]

Little tip ,use your snap line to mark where your screws go ,they are all over the place

[@ghsbgyzh]

Nice ❤

[@spicynomad]

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

Excellent video Sir, May I ask , what type of drill driver did you use to drive in the screws, TY

[@SupersonicFX]

Hardware question: wouldn’t it be better to use framing nails when building a deck? Would it hold up better than standard (straight) galvanized nails?

[@slickshal]

Hello BYOT. What type of bit holder are you using? I like the way it recesses the screws the same every time. Thx I’m as a Che.

[@ErrorInvalidName]

LOL, imagine having a deck where you can almost walk into that other house, geez those houses are right on top of each other. awesome work though!!!

[@user-lp1jw5jx7z]

Классно , много полезного 👍

[@victoryak86]

Have you had a lot of expansion and contraction with the Timbertech. Di you make butt joints tight or gapped? Edit: I now see you used spacers at the ends. But in cooler weather don’t they open up a lot more (or maybe there aren’t extreme temp differences where u are). As I think of it the use of the face screws with plugs probably is a big help in minimizing the contraction lengthwise. I think Azek recommends this for this reason. Anyway, looks excellent and Ty for sharing 👍

[@regularguy9264]

Typically, I have experiences issues with the mitred picture frame corners in terms of expansion and contraction changing the uniformity of the gap over time. Is that also an issue with this product?

[@Rocky-xx2zg]

How stable are those Cortex Plugs? I would be worried that as the deck ages, they would pop out. Am I mistaken?

[@walterrodrigues9077]

Great

[@variousvideo4810]

Good

[@dhesgonzales9840]

Like the idea

[@domenickesposito2384]

You have a sliding miter saw, so slide, don't plunge cut.

[@billhendrix4125]

It doesn’t look like you pre-drilled the holes, but then the screws seem to go deeper. What did you have attached to your drill for screwing them down? I didn’t see it in your list.

[@briaburris5159]

Im looking at this composite deck for my home but I thought I’d was install differently. No screws on the tops boards…? Is that not correct?

[@utooboobnoob]

Is that A Viking Arm I see at 5:49? Is it worth the money?

[@heidihomesnj]

can you tell me about the bit that was on your drill?

[@zeuslouis1]

What blade did you use on your miter saw?

[@cherylkitchen]

Miriam Makeba? I'll subscribe just for that use.

[@thefrogking481]

Pre drill the holes!

[@dancyn2001]

Where do you get the plugs? We need dark teak.

[@batmannoso]

me gustaba como era antes estaba protegido

[@scottthomas5819]

Niice

[@roccosarli6939]

Where can I purchase this?

[@markwilliamson3203]

It looks like the facia screws are not flush

[@Hutchy45445]

I’m amazed they didn’t want a waterproofing system, considering there’s a sitting area below?

[@briardan9226]

Where's the link to that cool clamp you use?

[@DavidSavon]

i guess no one is going to respond to this?

[@user-qk4kt5mb9h]

Смотрим дальше

[@jayyarnell4710]

I might have seen all your videos, but in the ones I have you always use screws to attach deck boards. Why not the invisible clips?

[@JohnGorman355]

Awesome video, interestingly the video is sponsored by Timbertech , but through out the video a damn annoying ad for Trex continuously pops up. Damn KZbin!

[@dommyboysmith]

Did a 66 foot deck with hidden "trex system" screws. Looks amazing, but holy shit.... 🤣🤣

[@BYOTools]

Yep it is quite a bit of work no matter how you look at it haha!

[@Hiltsy]

I think Timbertech recommends pre-drilling before installing face screws.....

[@victoryak86]

I think they’re self drilling screws.

[@Hiltsy]

@victoryak86 They may be self-drilling screws but Timbertech recommends pre-drilling. That said, I found I was able to install without pre-drilling but some screws stripped out in the joists before landing at the proper depth. My best results came from pre-drilling about 3/8" into the deck board as recommended.

[@victoryak86]

@@Hiltsy makes sense. If I’m honest, I have experienced the same. Most are fine but the ones that strip are a pain. Pre drill is the way to go but I tend to get in a rush and then end up spending more time dealing with the one that stripped😕. Predrilling for sure.

[@b3arwithm3]

Would face screws not prevent the board from expansion and shrinkage of the boards?

[@barrymcmahon4517]

What were you thinking drilling holes and putting screws in this deck shouldn’t ever see an6 screws with this deck system

[@Bluhluh]

buddy have you ever seen a timbertech deck before?

[@AlainStar]

👏👍💪🔥

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching Alain.

[@coffeefortwosolly]

👏🏻👏🏻❤️🤗🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

[@chucknourish7075]

Why is there no railing on that deck?

[@DaBean4]

Watch till the end

[@vladimirartemenko]

Топ

[@christroupe1026]

Isn't it easier to install all your deck than cut the center for a straight cut.

[@rsinghal17]

Oh my word, the fascia board install is so bad. Can you imagine looking all those fasteners sticking out!! There are a lot more elegant solutions to it.

[@masterblaster1970]

What are they im about to do mine lol. I ordered top loc painted ones with the special top loc bit.

[@ianthefishable]

Great work as always. Not sure if anyone else feels the same but I dislike seeing the finished product before watching the whole video.

[@KaroMcDawgOfficial]

first again! I win!

[@lechatbotte.]

Lol

[@KaroMcDawgOfficial]

@@lechatbotte. don't be jealous

[@GoodlyEarth]

You suck!! Next time, I'm getting up early on Saturday morning, and I will keep refreshing KZbin waiting for Brent's next video. Next week's winner should get an autographed picture of Brent with his tools.

[@haycock7759]

why get rid of the overhang?? that was dumb

[@kheny11]

WTF😂😂😂The before looked better🤣🤣🤣

[@ginandtonicpro]

Not a great finish. Corner joints have big gap, fascia had a major dip across 3' highly visible vs the remaining fascia. A few things but important.

[@biscaynediver]

Man, using that table saw without a push tool with your hand between the fence and blade ... not a good practice.

[@jpro112185]

You butchered the corners and didn't leave any overhang overhang on the outer band. It's supposed to hang over at least a quarter to an 1-1/4"... You used way too many screws in some areas and also you have the fascia sticking out past the decking in area. Not to mention that drip edge you put in will do absolutely nothing other than driving moisture straight into the house. But hey...looks ni..decent!

[@glendavis1266]

You cover a lot but talk too quickly for all people to follow what your doing and why! Jump Formosa one thing to the next without time to digest the last factor. Last weeks video?

[@mkirby7815]

Do you know that you can add closed captions to the video as you play it?
