I'm so glad i was smart and spent the extra money and bought Eon ( all plastic top of the line) back in 2003. A 20 footer was $33, today top of the line is about $115 a board. it's still the only way to go. Pressure washing and staining every 2 years sucks and end up costing more..I know a few people replacing their decking and the redo is very exspensive

No matter what sealent or paint Ive used wood rots at a alarming pace, deck faces the north and in the shade all day and often stays damp. I want to build a deck with composit. At 2:57 why nail??? Square drive deck screws and a nice milwaukee or makita cordless screw gun would be easier and maybe faster. Deck turned out nice.👍

A lot of work but done incorrectly. People looking to do this please watch other videos so you dont make the same mistakes. Good luck to this man and his new deck.

After spending the day in ER with my wife after being hit by a drunk driver, I realized a good majority of us will be victims of gravity. No one ever thinks that, as they toil away. Just reminded me when you "thanked" gravity for knocking the camera over. Thanks for the vid. Building a dock with composite starting today, and one day, replacing all my decking with composite.

Joist tape!! If you’re going to install decking that has a 25 year warranty, you’ve got to protect the framing underneath, especially now that you have hundreds of holes from the old nails that were removed. The nail holes allow water to bypass the pressure treatment right into the heart of the joists. Butyl deck tape (Spax, Trex, Reeplar, Felizshop, etc.) helps your framing last as long as your decking. It also promotes sealing around new fasteners (just don’t overdrive into the concealed fastener clips). It’s also best to install the additional framing for the “picture frame” boards vertically with at least a 1/4” space between joists so you can tape the tops and promote drainage in between. Hope this helps you DIYers out there build a better deck that will last a good long time.

Power tools are our friend. A nailer really speeds things up. Also, hire a haul away vendor. Where I live, he will do all the hard work of loading the container for a nominal fee.

Trex decking is deadly if you walk on it when snow or ice is on it.

Nice you were able to leave it 16’’ and not move the joist to 12’’ ????
@gwp4eva4 ай бұрын
nicely done! you should use joist tape next time, it’ll stop water from getting into all the old nail holes and rotting out the wood another thing i did when i redid my deck was to dig under the rim joist that was in contact with the ground so there was a 3-4” gap then added about 2” of gravel. i know PT lumber is rated for ground contact, but all that wet soil will rot it out eventually

Perfect. I love that you left it open rather than building an enclosed area where children could get into mischief behind closed doors.
@MC-px9eq7 ай бұрын
Thinking about doing this to my deck. My only question, wouldn't the joists have to be 12 inches apart in order to use composite? I was told it would otherwise start sagging shortly after we walk on it.

The composite decking material looks great. However, I have seen carpenters protecting the deck foundation with butyl tape and/or other water protection coverings so that the structural lumber doesn't wetrot like the wood decking.

Great Idea! I'd love to do this with my MS250. At my volunteer organization, we have MS261, which have captive bar nuts, so I've been a bit spoiled. Where did you get the captive nuts and flare tool? I'd probably buy an aftermarket sprocket cover so I don't have to modify my original Stihl sprocket cover.

Like laying floor vinyl, do you have to rip certain end boards to fit? Aww…never mind. I just saw where you cut the ends even and made a solid border. Nice!
