Replacing my cedar deck with Gaco, an elastomeric membrane

ElkinsDIY.com Presents:
The cedar deck on my newly purchased home was shot. I needed to find a replacement, so I thought I'd give GACO Decking a try.

Good job!

[@aju86]

Thank you for all that you do, and the videos you make. They're always enjoyable and informative and I appreciate that! One of the First videos I saw of yours is the one where you made a homeless shelter that had everything you could need. I fell in love with your videos because after that and I love all of your inventions. Keep it up brother, thanks again

Thanks aju86, KZbin has been a great way to share my ideas, and receive inspiration as well. Thanks for your support!

I really like your videos! you should upload more often! I know it's not easy to do that but i really enjoy whatever project you have going!

[@StevenBeshears420]

I hope you like your new house. I like your videos. Been a fan for years

I'm looking for something to make my also zero pitch deck waterproof. This stuff looks promising. Thanks for the explanations.

The cat stole the show! 😻looks like my late kitty😢

[@analeigholdeworlde4178]

Oh wow what a headache. I hope all turned out well despite all the hiccups...I am off to search for the updates on this!! 😄 P.S. My girls and I live in the Clallum area so I get what the weather can do here... I wish my landlord gave a quarter of the effort to our roof that you do your deck or that I could crawl up there and do it myself. You are definitely inspiring! Thank you

Beautiful cat!!

[@kvnbdvs]

How is it holding. I too, live in the PNW. I installed GacoDeck in 2017 and had a similar experience. Im not quite sure how to move forward.

[@BushImports]

That's terrible, I hope that turns out good for you and lasts you the rest of your life. I really like your deck/balcony, it makes me want to build one on my house.

came for the cat, stayed for the cat

[@KleineJoop]

Hahaha, same here

[@kickinghorse2405]

Thanks for info. Hope all is well with you and yours How is it holding up for you so far?

[@scalecraft4663]

How has the Gaco deck material been holding up ? Thanks

[@menguardingtheirownwallets6791]

Nice cat !

[@craigbetts1586]

that's to bad about the seams hope everything works out after doing all that work, keep us informed

[@safepethaven]

Aww, Scoops the cat is adorable -- and a scene stealer ;-)) As for your project, it seems my lifelong bad luck, as well as at least 3 prior generations, has somehow rubbed off onto you by internet osmosis! [sorry]

Have you heard of wide path campers?

Thanks Emoji man...

I'm retired. I spend most of my waking hours watching KZbin. It's hard to keep coming up with clever comments, but I still like to leave one. I also believe that great creators like you deserve more than one measly thumb.

Sure looks like Washington state. Do I win?

[@2ndEndingVintage]

sorry to hear you had so many problems with installing. with that said, I found your video disappointing...I had hoped to see some footage of the actual installation/application procedure you used...including caulking, taping, etc...

[@carlosbutler7811]

I used this product but really picky to work with I'll never use it again not really worth the headache

[@willhunt4824]

he said he used 1/2 in. plywood. thats his problem.

[@Danwingheinz]

Yes, for folks watching I'd at least use 5/8 inch tongue-and-groove (T&G) plywood

[@keralee]

Maybe next time just use latexcrete over mesh fabric? Its very strong and waterproof.
