Personally, I think it would have looked better to trace a smooth curve around the borders of the walkway, and let the board overhang the supporting trim. It would have created a more floating effect, and had much smoother curves. That's just my opinion anyway, great build though!

I know I'm 2 years late, but I googled raised wooden deck and you showed up first. Aside from Home Improvement with Jane, you explain things and show them so well. Thank you for the inspiration

It is beyond me why you made it all. Love "the overgrown path" a lot more. About the video: nice one!!!

[pamelaeverett]

I love this! Also, great job with giving precise enough instructions without making my ears bleed. 😊 Looks beautiful!

[GoodlyEarth]

Amazing walkway Brent!! Looks like Hank approved the final project!!!

[didz]

Congrats on the new addition to the fam! Hank is adorable! If every child grew up with a dog, I think the world would be a kinder place

Nice quality build, thanks for the Tuff Blocks introduction as I’ll have to check those out. The reciprocating saw for roots and trim router for the deck boards saves the most time and are a couple of go to’s I use. 👍🏼

Well done Brent. You build things that look good and I know will last for a very long time. Very skilled.

Beautiful backyard. Beautiful walkway!

The small piece you had to do is the area where you could have started the project by laying out the first board as a custom fit to the original deck and then continue on to the end of your pathway. Another option is to see if they sell a 2x6 or wider board to give you the material you needed and custom cutting that board to tie the pathway and deck together. Nice look either way. I’m betting very few will ever notice.

This just saved me a HUGE amount of time and hassle on a project I've been putting off for over a year now... Nice!! :D

What we do to get rid of the real small pieces at the end of a deck is install a double ripper. If you rip the second to last board in half, your final piece will be much larger and easier to fasten, and just look cleaner.

[antonenberg]

Cool project! I would fasten the small piece with som outdoorproof adhesive and clamped it until dry😃

I need to do something similar, but on a slow incline away from my house...engineered drainage for all the backyards where I live.

@BYOTools overall it's nice. I would have left more greenery myself. It did need some trimming for sure.
I think you would have had an easier time if you started at your deck and worked your way out. Run the starter boards parallel to the deck first.
Thanks for the lesson

Great job my man. Hank stole the show though ☺️

Murpjy beds have several other designs built into the wall and others that form into couch and desk. Three in one furniture takes up minimal space and lasts forever. The best ideas here include the fold into the wall stairs and Bookcase room doors. RV design for the bed adds space offers privacy yet not enough seating. Would modify to include seating during the day. Interesting video offers some options for single bedroom apartments.

That look good my guy! It’s amazing what a walk way will do to a space!

Looking forward to seeing more of Hank :)

Put walk lights along the sides. Or walk lights on the decking that fits flush. Great job! Hank probably enjoys the smooth surface.
