THE MOST EPIC DECK INLAY! - Building a Deck With a Herringbone Inlay

[@richardscottmusic1]

You are the Ryan Tedder of deck construction. The craft performed at it's highest level. An inspiring voice for work ethic we need in this decade.

[@SultanofSpey]

This isn't carpentry. It's poetry. Very talented.

[@leeriddle4612]

You guys are are awesome, I have been been building decks and houses for 26 years and I have to say that I have seen a lot and done a lot of custom decks but I'm really impressed each time you guys build. Keep it up.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Really appreciate that coming from a veteran of the industry!!

[@leeriddle4612]

My hat is off to you guys! Can't wait to see what's next! Have any big deck jobs coming up? If so I am ready to see the finished outcome. You guys are going to go far in this industry. Nice to finally see a team that takes pride in their work.

[@elmeromero1794]

I build decks on the side from my full time job. And I'm not easily impressed. But I'm definitely impressed with this craftsmanship!!! People always ask me if I can do different pattern inlays. And when I give them the extra labor cost to do it they always ask why so much! Well its time consuming that's why!!!Good job guys!!!

[@demetriajackson784]

I have been watching you all morning, absolutely beautiful and just on point in every way. Wish you were in Georgia...

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thank you!!

[@ChapmanMain]

Glad to see you with a belt on and tape in hand!! I know running the business can be tough and time consuming to orchestrate the guys, I also know the "goal" is to ahmmm "work less" ... But like I always used to say to my old foreman (owners brother) Vito.... "eh Buddy we'd be done by 5 if you'd just get your hands dirty"

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

When I throw the belt on I make sure pat has the camera rolling 🤣 I’ve been working on streamlining some of the business end stuff so I can be on the tools more this year

[@Skiwattentotten]

Looks great. Would've mitered the borders where you said "don't do butt joints" & although the plugs are better, standard composite deck screws you specifically aren't supposed to counter sink

Loving all your videos. So helpful and entertaining too. I noticed that you use a lot of Deckorators boards. We're trying to decide between Deckorators Voyage and some others. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

I appreciate that!! In my opinion deckorators voyage is by far the best board on the market. Amazing colors, super strong board, very minimal expansion and contraction and best traction

[@skepticlab5944]

@@THEpremieroutdoor I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I was surprised how many conflicting opinions and misinformation there is regarding composites. I've spent hours trying to educate myself on the subject and you've just confirmed my feelings on the matter. Loving this current project you're doing btw. Looking forward to seeing the bar and privacy wall come together!

[@sebrancourt5029]

Love the inlay of that deck. What's the brand for this decking? All composite decking I see looks like cheap plastic and this one actually looks really good. Thanks

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thanks a lot! It’s deckorators decking in their voyage series. We love it!

[@nicholaswall7677]

you mentioned you wanted no but joints - can you explain? also we see to get issues with expansion. How much gap do you leave if laying on a hot day or a colder day? Great work guys!

[@franciscorochajunior]

Nicholas Wall no but joints means he is using full size pieces on a run, not two pieces butting together

[@kylecroft5807]

Subscribed, the wife says change the music bro🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👌🦠😷🔨😷

[@jjaxsonjjames]

This may be a dumb question but why didn’t you use hidden fasteners for that inlay?

[@owent2032]

Looks awesome ! Great job ! Do you recommend composite decking or do you prefer timber?

[@truthvirus]

I have a design installation question. Why is the corner of the boards butted up against the square centerline? Rather than each and every board's end's midpoint butting up against the square centerline?

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

I’m not sure I understand your question

[@truthvirus]

@@THEpremieroutdoor Sorry. I rewatched and I was seeing something that wasn't happening.

Where are you guys located? Great inlay!

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thank you! We are in south jersey

[@gary24752]

Curious as to why you didn't use hidden fasteners for the deck instead of exposed fasteners. Are you plugging them?

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Yup, they all get plugs. We always use face screws and plugs on the end of our boards, on small pieces like this it usually is easier to just plug everything. We use clips on the rest of the deck

[@timbarry5080]

Must have been tough to keep from hitting that membrane with the saw. Did you fill any accidental cuts with anything? Thanks

[@VivaLaGolf42]

Tim Barry with a track saw you can preset the plunge depth and it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

It’s actually really easy with this track saw!

[@BlàckÐèàth]

WOW that looks f'n amazing! I'm in the process of refacing a deck I built with composite and had a question about your breakerboards...You butted them in there pretty tight without a gap. Do you not have any issues with thermal expansion? Thanks for the content.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

With this deckorators decking, it’s a mineral based composite and has nearly zero expansion and contraction, really an amazing product

[@JNMIII-xh1xb]

Is Deckorators your go to brand ?

[@Real_Tech_Skills]

Beautiful design, but I hate screwing through the top of the deck boards (just my preference).

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

All the screw holes get plugged

[@Real_Tech_Skills]

@@THEpremieroutdoor : Yes, I knew that ... again it is just my preference to use other methods. Great project that you guys put together.

[@Mark03644]

What are you guys using to plug the holes? I know there are several different options and suppliers just curious to which system you use.

[@a303twitch]

What’s the purpose of the herringbone design? Is it just aesthetics?

[@stewarthalstead6802]

Love the collapsible square. What is distance between decking and bottom of sliding glass door ?

[@k-hale2905]

What it the grey boards your using? If I wanted to order some

[@SomeDumUsrName]

Looks like the track saw master cut thru the membrane. That's unfortunate.

[@mikedixon8741]

Well if nothing else, Crack man made his appearance at the 3:10 mark. I could have done without that. Crazy inlaw pattern. I hope the homeowners are paying you guys well for all that tedium!

[@dob3079]

Is it all composite or just the inlay?

[@I_discovered_civilization]

Nice job. How much would something like this cost as a diy vs hiring someone?

[@livens100]

A very basic rule of thumb calculation for Decks and Privacy Fencing: Labor Cost = Material Cost x 3. Used to build 6' privacy fences and that figure worked out great. But composite decking varies in cost between lines and cheaper Trex would cost the same to install than the more pricey Deckorators Voyage. But then if you want fancy inlays like this guy did that is going to cost you more in labor. I built a deck similar to this but smaller, only 260 sqft, from the ground up. Using Trex Select total DIY cost was $7k, and that included a covered pergola over the whole thing. Easy $28k if I had someone build it for me.

[@edkingofnarnia]

Bro give me a Shout Out in your next video and Lock It In For Justice 😎😎😎😎🤛🤛🤛🤛

[@slimsouthern]

What is the black looking paint on the timber frame? I’ve seen that on several deck videos.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

The black stain on the outside of the deck is just stain to hide the framing lumber, on top of the deck it is flashing tape to keep sitting water from infiltrating the joists

[@neilbriger3421]

No flashing on Joyce it's a water rot deck waiting to happen

[@finelinerichardhoughton5715]

Lots of time labor and materials into that inlay. Hopefully you at least made wages on that project ??

[@Xaer_]

Actually just looks like a rug. Less is more. Scandinavian design beats everything else.

[@tonypasse685]

Cortex no predrilling

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Need to predrill all composites for plugs, cortex or any other brand

[@tonypasse685]

Just finished 350 soft 2 band picture frame and stairs no predrill looks copacetic

[@pistolpete5356]

Nope. Cortex comes with a bit that has a felt on it so when you screw the screw in it bottoms out and the hole is made and plug fits in nice and snug

Can you give me some advice on building my deck? I'm planning on 12x12 using trex enhance 12 ft boards with their hidden fasteners. What spacing should I set my footers? I was thinking of notching my posts 2", and making them around 11.5' on length to give a .25" overhang on the sides not sure on width spacing and everything. My research tells me that each board is around 5.736" using the spacers, which gives me 25.10 boards. Any advice?

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Sounds like a great plan! I’d buy an extra board or two just in case and also would make sure you get a sample of the enhance. It scratches very easily

[@whytho1]

What is epic about this? Basic pattern here. And who still face screws. Nice work but the face screws gotta go

[@livens100]

Face screws with plugs hold better than hidden groove fasteners. And when picture framing you can't use the hidden fasteners on the boards that run perpendicular to the inner boards. Plus on shorter runs, like his inlay, hidden fasteners can allow the board to slip if someone is running and stops quick. Plus plus hidden fasteners require 1/4" gap which he did not want... LOTS of reasons to still face screw with a Cortex plug system or similar.
