How To Build A Deck // DIY Home Improvement

Lowe's Sponsored this video where I show how easy it can be to build a deck. I used their easy to use Deck Designer Software to design a beautiful and easy to build deck, then took the print out into Lowe's where they gathered the materials for me and delivered it right to the building site.

Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds kzbin.infoUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR .

I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.

[@williardbillmore5713]

The structural design and execution of this deck is very well done ... But I have just a couple of problems with it. Notching railing posts is no longer code in any jurisdiction. Why in the world would you want to weaken the 4X4 posts to 2X4 right at the point where they need to be the strongest? The 4X4 railing posts should be bolted to both the INSIDE of the rim joists and any intersecting joists, or blocking, with galvanized through bolts, washers and nuts to maximize strength and safety. And why in the world did you feel you needed to attach the deck frame to your house? *"According to the International Residential Code², adopted by most states, a deck does not need a building permit if it is “less than 200 square feet, under 30” off the ground, does not serve a required exit door, and is not attached to the dwelling“ - if it is freestanding."* By attaching a deck to the house frame you are opening a can of worms where a great deal of damage will be done to the house. You have introduced a way for water to enter the sill joist, the frame, the foundation and the siding. A space of 1/2 inch between the deck frame and the house would save you from damaging your house and the need for a permit and inspections, as well, if you kept the sq footage under 200. The posts, footings and girders in your design leave out any structural need to drive even a single screw or nail into your house... Why would you even consider doing that after going to the trouble of building a well made self supporting deck? One more thing... I don't mean to be nit picking , but this one is kind of basic...The deck is too high for this house. You will be in for an unpleasant surprise when you get the first decent Michigan snowfall this winter. That storm door will not open because there is no clearance between the bottom of the door and the deck. There should be a step down to the deck, the height of a stair riser, so the door can open over the snow and ice. I'm sure you have found that out by now. What a shame. The only solutions are to remove the storm door in the winter when you need it the most, or put a snow melt electric mat down on the deck, wide enough to let the storm door swing open, or cut out an opening in front of the door and install an open grate that can be walked on but will allow the snow to fall through. That will work until the snow accumulates deeper than the deck is high... What did you end up doing with that door problem?

Nice video! No need for the joist hangers on the rim board though. I guess you could use them upside down since the rim board is hanging from the joists. Hangers are only necessary if the joist is butting into its support piece without being supported within 4’ of the connection.

[@webgem14]

I wish I’d seen this comment before building my deck. The upside down joist hanger is a pretty good idea. You could use them for and they would provide extra support for the rim joist, facing, and rails. They could also be easier to attach. The main thing they do right side up is help align your nails for toenailing on the inside of the rim. Doing that also does attach the hanger to the joist, which then is attached to the rim. So that does provide some support but not as much as the other way.

Pretty good video. Bonus for telling people to let the wood season before coating with anything. One issue though, in all my years of construction the one thing an inspector will tell you to correct, is the lack of gap in the decking.

[@brianhill4284]

After watching this video this is why you need literacy and numeracy. Skills before leaving school !!!

[@dalaube]

You're missing some crucial steps in your math here. Using your dimensions with the correct calculation gives nearly the exact same answer for the spacing, but that was incredibly lucky, lol. The total ballister count, however, will always be wrong. If, for some reason you wanted your spacing to also be 1 5/16", your math would have said that you needed like 31-33 ballisters. What you need to do is add the width of the ballister to the desired maximum spacing (4") before you divide, round up and finish off the rest of the math as written, and THEN subtract the ballister width to get the spacing. To be clear, the calculation used as I described will only tell you largest possible spacing (equally across the entire span, without exceeding 4"), given a specific ballister width. It can of course be modified to give a range of possible ballister widths at specific spacings. Heres and example of how far off it can be: Span - 60", width - 1.5", max gap - 4" Wrong way: (60" + 1.5") / 4" = 15.37" = 16 total ballisters 61.5" / 16 = 3.84" spacing Corrected: (60" + 1.5") / (4" + 1.5") = 11.18" = 12 total ballisters (61.5" / 12) - 1.5" = 3.63 spacing And yes, I know this video is 5 years old. But, I stared at the math for so long trying to figure out why something just didnt seem quite right. When it finally clicked I had to unload.

[@matthewronson5218]

@Liam O’Neil Yep. They want their 'cut' and provide 'services' for a 'fee' (tax) just the the Mafia. People will twitch and say 'oh no, we need codes!' but don't know there are areas around the country wit NO building codes and they get along just fine. Places along the Left coast have so many codes, restrictions and zoning requirements that there is a Housing crisis. Even in commercial or public buildings, any code that beyond common sense is just more taxes. If property were truly "private" it would be like you said: up to the OWNER. They do the same with "private" vehicles. It starts with "simple emissions tests. Then, it's "safety and emissions" (for your own good). NOW, any trouble light, even minor BS ones that have nothing to do with emissions and safety HAVE to be repaired. Codes also do NOT stop the slip-shod hacks, pavement and roofing gypsies or similar no-class, fly by night operators from doing what they do.

@steve gale So how is building a deck so obtrusive as to require one to run and get permission from the authorities-for the usual fee i.e. tax?

[@matthewronson5218]

@steve gale It should be evident that I read your opinion thoroughly and quite properly, my friend. Now, if you'd do me the courtesy of giving the same due diligence on what I wrote in response, then we can get somewhere. Or don't and think uninformed opinion bolstered by willful ignorance is a way to go through life, at least on this matter. Have a Blessed Day.

[@matthewronson5218]

@steve gale Please try to follow the conversation-if you can. Clearly you project your ignorance onto others. Stop and reflect for a moment, it's not overly complicated We're talking about building a simple deck, off of what is allegedly private property, not building a junk yard in a residential area. Do you even comprehend what private property rights mean? Obviously, you do not. You surely have the proper mindset to make a good and obedient slave, so compliant and willing submitting to authority 2-3x over such a simple and harmless project-one ones alleged private property, usually after paying a permit tax for this privilege you esteem so much. If you think checking in with your bureaucratic masters over such a plain and simple project is perfectly fine, then good on you! Join an HOA where you get a $250.00 fine for not winding up your garden hose. You'd surely be in heaven! May your chains lay lightly about you. Have a nice day.

[@Mad_S]

. they would build what they like (on their property) and not worry about the neighbors... Why is that not the correct way to build the house you live in?

[@patrickdenny16]

Those footings are massive! As a deck builder Its rare to find a customer who is comfortable with the extra cost. Im glad to see you put in the extra effort and didnt shy away from a difficult task! Keep up the good work!

[@BCreation2023]

Nice project! Comming from a fellow carpenter. Seeing your math with your posts... Dont you wish you were metric? From scandinavia, only use metricsystem. The only time builders in Norway imperial measurments its to shorthand some wood. Saying: i need a two by four. But we always know its 48x98👍

[@3n82]

I don’t think those joist hangers do anything, the rim joist is just hanging off and not attached to anything

[@raynechantel2738]

Great video I love how you explain the math and steps - I really liked the railing explanation. Nice job and Love your dog, he's quite the stickler for making sure your work is impeccable!

[@victorvegas6329]

I need help now! Trying to build damn deck and frustrate. Deck looks strong but who can know? Steve said I could hide from bear, I say not so strong for this. Keep to getting our trash and smaller pets. If we have stronger decks maybe no bear? Making bear leave? Out of options thanks.

[@martymcfly5842]

Only negative is the deck floor so close and level with the home entrance. If not in area with a lot of rain or snow, it should be fine. If so, it may cause problems down the road...even with the slope.

[@PUREOWN]

Going to have to tear down that house now and build one to match the quality of the deck.

[@samlebel6025]

Are the joists pressure treated? Either way you should've run joist tape/flashing before laying the decking. Cheap insurance against trapping organics and water that will rot the top of the joists out over time.

[@ThatOneGuy8199]

came here to build a deck. left knowing how to convert fractions to decimals

[@ny8956]

You really should have already known that.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

you shouldn't need to learn fractional measurements if you're not using the Imperial System. 1 foot is 12 inches? 1 yard is 36 inches? 8/4 inches instead of just 2 inches? WTF? Where's the pattern? With the Metric System? 1 centimeter is 10 millimeters. 100 centimeters is 1 meter. 1000 millimeters is 1 meter. Done.

[@ВладиславМиронов-м3ъ]

Круто! Всё быстро, чётко и аккуратно. И древесина видно хорошая

[@papagrouch8416]

Vlad, could not have said it better myself!

[@jeanheard4615]

I have a patio it is 20 by 24 and I want a fence around it to keep my husband 2 children off it German Shepard and Labrador tearing up everything the screen they tear up the wood around it they scratch it up what do I do and here in Tennessee it is against the law to keep pets tied up

Larry Haun taught me what my father never did. This guy is to the point, practical, step by step, and even puts in some humor and humility. A teacher of teachers while being single handedly a mentor to hundreds of thousands that will never get to meet him in person to shake his hand or give him a hug. Shout out to this channel for keeping it all flowing. I thank you one and all who keep this content posted.

[@wildsolnomad]

This was freakin perfect. Well laid out steps to follow, the way shots were filmed and their transition, and the way you speak flows. Thank you! Retreat center projects in the redwoods!

[@ikegodsay1879]

Real nice work, but at 13:05 you probably meant that the baluster spacing be maximum of 4” (not min).

[@CReevesMakes]

The single best deck build video I have seen! Well done Chris and thank you for ALL of the information and video footage. Very helpful!

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

Very good demonstration of how to build a "floating" deck with no ledger board connection. Makes it easier because you don't have to worry about properly sealing/flashing the ledger which a lot of people don't get right. I would much rather dig extra footings than use a ledger connection.

[@drektion]

This video is great but i don't trust string levels farther than I can throw them. Save yourself potential headache and buy/make a simple water level or use batter boards to rough frame the rim joists to find beam height and use a line level to check for level.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Hey Chris, it’s Chris! Sorry it’s taken me so long to say hello whoever I just wanted to reach out and say congratulations on all of your recent success and this deck build was absolutely an inspiration! Definitely going to put one in my backyard after the winter! Also that 45° cut you did on all of the railings at once… Genius!! Take care brother

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much man!! Much appreciated!

[@jamieofalltrades536]

Wow someone that knows what they are talking about. I'm in the trade and I laugh at 90% of the videos I watch. You are very informative and thorough. I enjoyed the video, great work!

[@xAudioBeatzz]

If your in the trade then you should know this deck is very cheap and half assed lmao

[@julicas76]

I agree I'm in the trade and this is the standard way to build a deck and it's very well explained except for the Hangers wich are unnecessary

[@milehigh3054]

Bet that was expensive. But very nice.

[@sdsumiguel5937]

Wife bought me my first tool set today. Taking it back in the morning after watching this.

Ha ha what did you get? What do you have now?

[@ratherbecampin]

@LOWES get my man a bigger miter saw!!! This was a great video explaining this process. I am currently stressing building a new deck and this has really helped me calm my jets. Thanks brother.

[@xAudioBeatzz]

Why wouldn’t you put posts on inside of framing and box it off? Plus your supposed to set and level your two end posts and run a string at the top of them to get your middle post perfectly straight and level.

4ft frost line?! I've got to deal with an 8ft frost line....

[@johntaylor-lb1tx]

What latitude? I'm at 59° and we generally shoot for 6' minimum.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I thought you guys just built above ground igloos with ice chunk decks.

What's a frost line? -from Florida with love

In Alaska you can not even dig into the soil due to permafrost

Thank you for not adding obnoxious music to your montage. It makes it so much more enjoyable to watch.
