How-to and Reviews

Nice job! Well put together video. However there's some details that I feel could have been done better. Respectfully, your edge detail is not great. If you had used a picture frame boarder using a full thickness piece that overhung the framing by the thickness of your facia trim board + 1", you would end up with a nice overhang that doesn't allow water to get at your rim joist. Your final ripped piece would go against the house. The way you've done it (especially with the saw kerf you left in the top of the rim board), you've created a channel for water to collect and pool which will prematurely rot out your rim. And as already mentioned, joist tape would help with the longevity of your framing, especially since there are already holes left in your joists from previous decking.

Did that end PVC board around the edges expand giving you a bit of a lip along the edge to protrude above the top decking when it got hot outside? Expansion is what i think of with this material? Is it as bad as real wood expanding and contracting?
Great vid well done!!

Thank you for your video, very helpful tips as I have just started laying the first 2 boards of my Trex decking. I noticed some of my deck boards are warped like a banana and I think it will be a struggle to force them straight, so any tips on dealing with that would be helpful.

So do you not actually need to use the camo lever tool to install this kind of decking?

I have a problem with my composite deck. My piece at the edge has come loose from one side . Not sure if the installer had installed the edge. What should I do to secure it.

The under deck won't last. You did not install any wrap

Worst decking ever made. If your deck is in the sun all day you can't walk on it

[yankeesfan]

just curious, did you check out the joists and if you needed to plane any of them before decking was applied
