Awesome work man! In the process of figuring out our own deck project. Your videos are super helpful

In my other life I was home decorator ( inside and out) so of course Im always looking forward in making everything look up to date, beautiful, modern and eye catching. Nothing more attractive and captivating than a men that knows how to create and fix almost anything. Congrats to you THIS IS AMAZING. Love your videos.

Another highly detailed video. I keep learning more ways of getting this done. Buying some materials today to get started on mine :) Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I know it takes a lot of time to make these videos and I greatly appreciate your efforts.

Great video! Not building a deck any time soon but still fun to watch and learn.

It looks great ! I'm sure it also adds to the value of the house.

Great job and very helpful video. Thanks

Nice detailing. One item of personal preference would be to overhang the perimeter deck board about 1/4"-1/2". This lip will allow less rain to get behind the fascia and also allows the wood substrate to shrink and swell seasonally without noticing the movement. Also, it's a good reminder to make sure the face of the hammer is perfectly clean before installing the plugs. Grind or sand any burrs off the hammer face. PVC boards are easily marred.

[wenashome]

Wow, i love your tutorial content.tha k you for sharing from team wenggay

[colinprior]

I've worked with this stuff....the main reason I had to put on knee pads is that I would have gotten burn blisters on my knees because the decking gets brutally hot in the sun....god help anyone who tries to walk on it with bare feet on a sunny day

Thanks for all the great tips. These details really help to get the professional finish. Just curious, Wont it be faster to use clips that go between the boards instead of screws? No need for plugs.
Given your joists are not resting on the ground, is it necessary to use pressure treated lumber?

Not sure if someone in the comments already mentioned. But when you're calculating the overall size of the deck, do you account for the gap between each board into the calculation as well?

Love the video. I have a similar build on concrete, however have a lot of cedar trees near by and get a lot of debris during the fall. Would you recommend placing anything on the concrete before installing the deck to prevent much of the debris just sitting under the deck and on the concrete?

[brianprince]

Great video, thanks. I may have missed this, but are you not worried about having the deck framing up against the house siding so tight? I'd be under the assumption you would want a little space between the two so moisture didn't become a problem. Also, what about ventilation under the deck?

[pricetagcitrus]

Hello sir, are you ever worried about water coming off the roof and coming onto the deck repeatedly? Or should it not be a problem since the wood is treated there should be no mold issues?

[thenickrodriquez]

Did not know you are in Seattle, I am out in Carnation. May I ask where you got the Timbertech decking from?

[davemckinney]

Great video!! From watching your other videos, I thought the fascia board was too thin to use the same cortex/screws and plugs as on the rest of the deck?
