Well done. However at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="720">12:00</a> when you are pouring the concrete in the tubes I learned it’s best to take a piece of rebar and knock all the air bubbles in the concrete out. Otherwise if you get a air pocket they can crack over time easier

Thank you for the very detailed explanation of how to build the deck. My husband and I are planning to build a deck in the near future therefore, we've been searching and watching many videos even though he's quite handy himself. Your video really reminded us of how we used all the methods plus a few more good tips of how to build it so thank you for sharing.

Never done a freestanding deck so this was very interesting. Both the decks I was involved in were attached to the house. Yes level is important. My first deck was about sixty feet long, back when wood didn’t eat your wallet. We carted the wood home in a couple of trips in the back of an old Ford ranchero. The fellow at the lumber store was terrific calculating everything and no leftovers. We purchased wood so we wouldn’t have to cut the boards.

Very nice video. I have only one concern with your foundations. You put the Sonotubes 24” deep for frost but then use the existing concrete for the middle which I assume is not below the frost line. So your deck with heave up in the middle.
@driveman6490 2 жыл бұрын
Looks great. An alternative method would be to install joist-to-beam instead of joist-over-beam. You would have enough space to use 4x10" beams and 2x10" joists. You use roughly the same amount of hardware (hangers instead of hurricane straps) and definitely get away with spacing your joist at 16" centers.

You can buy No 9 or No 10 structural 1 1/2 inch screws instead of nails for the joist hanger. With a good impact driver you can get your girlfriend on the job and it's much lighter and less scary for her to handle and she can get all those 2000 screws in for you while you cut and place the next joist. It does cost a little more than nails, but it is as strong as one (due to being structural grade) and pull all piece together, which helps in the long run with wood force in action. I had a little over 2800 screws to do on my project for the frame work. Probably did 200 (one or two screws per hanger to keep it in place for her. By the time I was ready with the next joist, she had almost all the nails of hangers and hurricane tie in of the previous joist.
