Best Deck Ever?? | Unique Ideas for Building a Deck

And big thanks to Crescent for making this series possible!

Things I Used in This Project:

Welcome to the official April Wilkerson YouTube channel. I’m April and I’m the creator of Wilker Do’s. I'm not professional or have any training, so I just pick the project I want to tackle and figure it out step by step. On this channel you will find a variety of content like DIY home improvement, How-To’s, construction and more.

The removable railing is definitely original. The golf platform on a deck is uber original. The metal spindles on the second floor is a nice match. Agreed, 16" oc is worlds better than 24" oc for the long run as well as the stainless steel screws.

April, you did a fantastic job building that deck. Plus the great job with the ballasters, the drawers and the storage for your mower. Beautifully done. Congratulations

April this is amazing of you...I am over here floored by your awesome talents. There isn't anything I don't love and those hiding spaces need to be a national thing with people creating them for people who can't or choose not to build it for themselves. Like who wouldn't want to build it for themselves, because if you can anyone can. You truly are my HERO!

Totally fabulous April, everything about it is stunning and just rewards for all your amazing hard work all these years. "Well done" hardly covers it!!!

Your deck build series has been nothing but amazing! This has been an inspiration to me in my recent deck and porch projects. Thanks for all you do, your technical support and amazing input!

OH HECK YEAH!
Now, that is a beautiful outdoor living & entertainment area with a primo golf platform. Are you kidding? Wow! Such great ideas, removable rails, taking advantage of your slope with the extra storage shed. And those drawers! Gorgeous wood & craftsmanship! 😮 Woo Hoo! 🎉❤

Thanks for a great series on your deck build. My wife and I watched this episode together and she especially likes the removable railings to hit the golf balls. Stay safe and have lots of fun out there. Keep up the great videos. Fred.

I have been watching you for a while now and thank you for your information about the projects you are showing. You make me want to get out into my wood shop! Take care and see you on your next video!

Amazing deck! Golf tip - the bottom of the swing should be on the target side of the ball. Use a spot about 1-2” in front of the ball to look at instead of the ball. Make some practice swings as you normally would with the ball in the center of your swing but try to have the bottom of your swing on the target side parallel to your spot (1-2”). Your natural athleticism will automatically adjust to the change after 5-10 swings. If on grass, use a tee positioned 1-2” target side of the center of your swing. Keep trying to clip the tee with the bottom of your swing. Then add a ball - eventually put the tee and ball center of stance, while looking 1-2” target side. Have fun - and really like your low score keeper!

There’s awesome - then there’s APRILSOME!!!! Absolutely love the build and the ideas included therein. Looking to make some of those drawers for under the house. Can’t wait to see the “swanky cool retractable net” you devise. Continue the epicness.

Wow. This recap video is a great closing chapter to the deck build. Congratulations on this huge accomplishment.

4:51 You should build a wooden wall box, with a glass front, that says "Break In Case of Fire" on the glass. Inside the box, place a stick with a marshmallow on it. =)
Fun Fact: Top Golf Golf Balls have an RFID Chip in each one! This is how the balls are used for scoring.

What I love is that every single thing about this build is functional

This series came out at the perfect time as I am delving into my own first deck. (12x24 covered). I picked up 8 feet span decking because it was on a fire sale and your dividers were the perfect solution for my situation. The under deck storage and the drawers are simply inspiring and watching your walkway potion inspired me to make one along the front of my deck and replicate my parent's garden they were so proud of when they were alive. I'm excited about the build and the ideas you inspire. You're an amazing person, builder, and content creator. All the luck to you in all of your future endeavors. Sincerly someone who NEVER comments on youtube videos but felt this was a MUST.

I think your dad likes the tee as much as you do! Loved watching the series. I've been a fan for several years now and have enjoyed watching your progress and projects. Keep up the good work!

Mad skills, absolutely mad. Excellent job as always. Now you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. For now anyway. Cheers

I love the tank pool best so long as you have a good water source. Maybe build a windmill next great look and useful as well. You did a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing.👍
