This is #Azek Deck series on how to properly install deck boards and fascia boards. Before going into details, you need to check if you have Low-e glass windows before purchasing the PVC deck boards. Then I will show you how I solved the Helical pile problem with fascia boards. Next, I will show you the proper way to install the solid deck boards for picture frame and grooved boards installation tips. Also I will show you how I installed the LED low voltage lighting. There are many lesson learned and DIY tips I want to share with you.
Hope this has some good information if you are planning to build a deck yourself. I hope I can inspire more people to DIY. I am NOT affiliated with any of these products, companies or people, I just want to share my experience as a serious DIYer and try to help other DIY people out there.

at first i started securing one/two boards and 4 boards in I was fighting a curve and it felt very bad when i had 20 more to go so i backed them up, laid them all out minus 2 at house and then as I did it i would push 4 in at a time to push them closer, but if its 20 ft long you need 2 people or a very wide grip and push, otherwise one side kicks out and you fight it and cause a curve. then when I secured them i only screwed them all in half way and then went around to fully seat the screws because if I fully seated one it would pull the next board up and sometimes mess up the clips. Lots of lessons learned, love it though. I had my joist with blocking sitting for a year before i bought the decking, expensive, also boards become more twisted than i would have liked and shims used but it all works :) composite shims. thanks for your videos

I am planning to use AZEK Slate Grey deck board, I am thinking of doing butt-up mitre joint for picture framing (border), how do you find about this Azek deck board's "expansion & contraction" during winter and summer ? ( winter here sometimes -20 to -30 Celsius and summer could be like +35 ish Celsius)

I've used trex a few times. The 1st gen of trex swells unbelievably. I have it on my own deck. Every 3 years I run a circular saw inbetween the boards just to keep a gap! The newer isn't as bad but a 3/16 gap would work better than an 1/8

@DIYable 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! That's good information. I think you are referring to the fascia boards installation, I tried both methods I mentioned in the video (1) glue + screws (2) spacers + screws. After 2 seasons, passed Canadian harsh winter.. neither of them have given me any issues. The miter joints on the corners as well as the butt joints are totally fine. No screws popping. The ambient temperature during the installation is very important, according to Azek installation guide, on a summer hot day you don't actually need to leave any gap on miter/butt joint. However, if you are install on a cold day, you do need to leave a gap. That applies to both fascia boards and the deck boards.

If you don't mind me asking, how did the fascia and picture frames hold up to the unnatural heat we've had in the US and Canada over the past few years?

Great video series! If you are using a non-grooved deck board for your picture framing, how do you connect it to the next board that is grooved? Do you have to router a groove into the picture frame board?

@DIYable 3 жыл бұрын

Very good question. Glad you actually asked!!! Router is one option, but I didn't do it that way. I used "Cortex Fasteners" on one side of the grooved board. If you don't know about Cortex.. check out Part 20: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irx1nsh01cWapok.html Hope that helps.

@tommysmalls8634 3 жыл бұрын

Nice work. Did you cut all of the inside (non-picture frame) deck boards to length one by one, or did you cut a line across all of them with a circular or track saw? It’s hard to tell from the video. Thanks.

@DIYable 3 жыл бұрын

One by One, I cannot afford to make any mistake but I have to admit, it is VERY SLOW!!!!!! Usually professional cut a line across all of them in one shot, if you are confident doing that, go head. I don't have a track saw... I am worried that circular saw may not give me a perfect straight line, that's why.

@rjcarr316 3 жыл бұрын

Wouldn’t that sideways 2x4 blocking for the picture frame border trap a lot of water and eventually rot? Otherwise, nicely done!

@DIYable 3 жыл бұрын

Very good question. It does trap some water but it goes away pretty quickly. Same thing happens to the joists. Some suggest to use the joist tape on the blocking. Now, we are into another topic - joist rotting and joist tape. If you are using PVC board such as Azek, don't use bitumen based joist tape. There are butyl based tape which may work better with PVC decking. I did a video on this topic, check out part 10. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zs6Kdq943Mqwdp8.html

If you know the width of each board you can plan the size of your deck so that the last board won't have to be trimmed that much.

Hi! Have you installed Trex decking?

@DIYable 4 жыл бұрын

No I haven't. But it's very similar. Remember to read the installation manual, both Trex composite and Azek PVC are known to expand and contract. The ambient temperature during the installation is very important, according to Azek installation guide, on a summer hot day you don't actually need to leave any gap on miter/butt joint. However, if you are install on a cold day, you do need to leave a gap. That applies to both fascia boards and the deck boards. I believe the same concept applies to Trex. However, always read the Trex installation guide carefully before you start the DIY project. Good Luck!

Sorry for the late reply. The brand is called "Paradise", they are made in China, they are available in big box store or even Amazon. If you are in Canada, they sell it at Rona. Wait for them to go on sale, don't pay for regular price. Don't expect the quality is very high.
