8 years since you've posted this.. and just as relevant, so much so that after watching NUMEROUS videos.. today is the day I get my deck with those inner posts and picture frame style border done just like you've done! The time you spent going over even the smallest things saves people time AND money! Thank you!

In my opinion these are the best deck videos on YouTube right here folks. At least for us beginners and DIY’s that aren’t completely set in our ways and willing to learn a thing or two.

[farhadfaqiri]

Your are a very serious and responsible teacher. You are not the one who just show off your skill or just making money. Your big concern is our success in our projects!

[aaronmatheson]

It's content like this that makes YouTube such a valuable resource! Thank you very much for posting these!

Shannon, thank you for this video series. It gave me the courage and guidance to knock down my old rotten deck and rebuilt it using your techniques!

[ryankojabashian]

Thanks. I watched this video series about 150x and then built my own deck, and it came out great!

This guy is a great instructor. A lot of tips and tricks to get good results that can only come from experience and dedication to a high quality result

I have always liked your videos Shannon, you stop what you're doing to explain every detail no matter how small or how in depth the tip is. Your videos are always loaded with helpful and useful information & tips. Thank

Shannon, I've been watching your videos for years. Appreciate your detail and instruction which has helped so greatly over the years. Hope you continue to share your knowledge since it is truly helpful.

[BOLANBOSNABOSS]

Keep talking while working. That's the best way to learn how to DIY jobs. Thank you for every single detail you explained. I will use this video for my next project which I'll do it myself. Excellent job you did . Thank you for this video.

Shannon you are awesome master builder and teacher. Thanks for leaving the problems so we can see how you solved them. I’m 64 and I want to be just like you when I grow up! You make my knees hurt in shorts with no knee pads...ouch!

[johnhamilton]

Shannon, really enjoy all your presentations. I've learned a tremendous amount from watching your videos. The sharing of your vast knowledge is greatly appreciated...many thanks!

[gregbutler]

You explain things well so even an amateur like myself can do the job.I like how even you make mistakes and don't delete it, it makes it real.Big help keep up the great vids

[brianmini]

I like how you speed up finishing a task so it is still viewable and not just edited. Also the fact that if you make an error, you correct it on camera as it gives a sense that we all do it. Very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[RushAustin]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has to flip the speed square over 2-3 times to get the 45' in the right direction. Your vids are without a doubt some of the best instructional series.

[ShayneSplaining]

Hi Shannon, I built a deck for the first time in my life and I used your videos for reference. The deck came out amazing! Thank you so much for your videos. I would not have been able to do it without your videos.

[ralphmartin]

Shannon, used your video before building a landing and steps several years ago and now building a deck after watching the series again. Thanks for your videos!

[NewHomeRoss]

Shannon, can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting out these videos. I watch your videos before I begin any of my home projects and I'm even a home builder! Video production is simple yet top notch, and you are extremely efficient in how you explain everything. Thank you thank you!

We built our home 22 years ago, today I started taking the original decking down, found a few bad joist, mold and a little rotten wood so its all coming down. Total rebuild at todays prices. I say all of that to say this, I worked construction for decades, broke my back and started over at 40 years old. In my opinion, this guy demonstrates great quality work, he’s simply showing people how “HE” builds a deck, not how “everyone” should build a deck. TOP quality work. Awesome job.

Just venturing out on my first deck project. You videos are invaluable. Thanks for showing me how to do it the RIGHT way. What I didn't know could fill volumes of " Mistakes Rookies Make."
