In this video you I will show you how I built a floating deck. I'll show you the process of clearing and prepping the area, framing the deck, how to hide the deck blocks to give it a "floating" appearance and some useful tips I learned.

This looks amazing! You both make it look so easy to do! Do you have a list of all the materials you used? Thank you

Thanks! Sorry I don't have a full list.

Where do you live? A full list of materials would help people to figure out how much or how long to do a nice job you guys did. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for the video and tips

I live in Canada. I don't have a full list of material but video should provide a good starting point. If you have any specific questions I can try to help out.

I wouldve waterproof taped the tops of your 2x6s. Otherwise the simplicity of your project 8s motivating. Thanks for sharing

Hey man nice job would you mind leaving a comment of how much you spend on material on that deck thx

@renoforless Жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks! The total cost was about $1,200 CAD. However, lumber prices have dropped a bit recently so it could be cheaper now.

Did you follow any plans or did you do this off the cuff. Just curious…watched the rest of the video and yo7 must be in construction because you know exactly what you’re doing. Beautiful job!

@renoforless Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I made some mental plans in my head and went with the flow. I referred to other videos and articles to make my own version.

What size is the deck?

@fcf777 Жыл бұрын

Shouldn’t the max distance between joists be 16 inches or less?

@renoforless Жыл бұрын

Joist can be between 12", 16" and 24" the closer they are the sturdier the deck will be

@gpzjeffrey7974 Жыл бұрын

Don't use wood screws for framing, unless it's part of a system like Simpson Strong Tie joist hangers. Even then, I prefer framing nails, they're much stronger.

@ryanmaurer2630 Жыл бұрын

What size are your joists? 2x6 or 2x8?

Holy cow-- you don't need all those blocks! 4 maximum on each rim, joist hangers for the rest.

True, but I like how solid it feels.

@waheedmalik6120 Ай бұрын

How deep did you dig for the blocks?

@renoforless Ай бұрын

Each hole is a bit different because the ground wasn't leveled. However, I would recommend going about 4-6 inches deep.

I was going to ask the same. Too much space between joists.

@@JustinWhitaker .... Great Job but 24" on center makes a deck like this too bouncy. 16" is the only way to go...

Unfortunately you're likely to have mold/water issues especially in the middle where you have no way for air to flow. You also have no drainage solutions so water will get trapped there and cause issues. You'll likely be tearing this apart in 5 years. Sorry!

@renoforless 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment Chris. I'm not concerned about air flow because there are gaps under the sides and joists for air to flow through. As for water I did my best to add a slight slant to the ground so water won't get trapped.

@JerryRigEverything 2 жыл бұрын

@@renoforless air flow isn't a problem - your deck will be just fine in 5 years. Keep up on the stain/weathering protection and this has an easy 10 to 15 years of life in it.

Question, how do you make sure the deck blocks are in alignment with eachother m? Or is it just roughly placed in alignment 24 in from eachother?

@renoforless Жыл бұрын

I make sure the four corners are square. Meaning I make sure the rectangle is equal on all sides. You can do this by either measuring diagonally from corner to corner or use the trick I have in the video @3:24.
