More worried that the frame bounces

Excellent Analysis between the two!!! Thank you.👍

I can’t find those glass rubber kits in the US

Thank you so much for posting this video! You just answered a lot of our questions for our DIY composite deck project. :)

That scalloped board is nice and sturdy but it gets easely scratched, thats why it is much cheaper

Do you have something on top of the wood joists? What is that black material?

That particular trex board will get hot as a frying pan in the sun. Theoretically, it shouldnt, but it does.

How are the earwigs in the cracks of them deck board

Composite boards can't handle continuous foot traffic for more than one year, two if your lucky.

Composite is garbage

Hope that deck is just mock up. If its not i would be more concerned about the structure not deck board overhang.

Yeah just deflect your level instead of using a straight piece of wood. Then again, cheap shit level so it's probably fucked anyway.

Awesome! I’m replacing joists now and will do this.thanks

Hey question i have that same saw the DCS578 . how do you like it its my first right faced saw ive used others and feels wonky but i still cut with my right hsnd sometimes i feel if its me or the saw cuts crooked because its something new to me or is the table need adjustment on tje screw idk. Got it because it came with a free charger and 9ah FLEX VOLT battery all for 199$ i was like damn its a steal i have to grab it now

I’m sure the guy who’s been fixing his decks has been scratching his head a lot

Is there a carpenter out there who doesn't know this already?

Forget the blocking just use planks across the tops of the stringer and yer done😂😂😂 this guy is using composite as a vaneer.

what do you mean by 7 out of 10 ? sorry, i don't know much about all of this

How much weight is going to put on the outer two inches of a deck? And, where are the joist hangars? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Mean while your dog can't walk on 150 degree composite decking.

Must be canadian

The outrageously high prices of deck materials could make one think they are made of gold - even the stressed stuff is costly.. that said, choosing/ purchasing- a product sensibly is even more important. What do you want in a deck? What is most important- to you or me? everyone is different. I, on one hand, don't like slipping and falling. How do you compare one product to the others- fairly and to natural materials? With a small project quickly getting into the heavy G's, how does this stuff end up looking after ten seasons of sun, sand, tree sap, bug juice and did I say sun? Stress tests- let’s see them. Just started looking. good info.

Definitely not “Larkik”. In Lufkin (Luf-K-in). But k do believe they are the best tape measures. I use them for work regularly, but mostly for home projects. Keep at least 3 going. 1 at saw, 1 at work place, and 1 somewhere between. Never had 1 break or wear out yet. Made by Crescent. Commonly available at Lowes.

james cameron does decks on the weekend

Stop buy the cheap scalloped boards. If you want a decorative overhang get at least one solid (not scalloped) board for that edge. Neither company recommends scalloped boards with an overhang.

Even the economical ones offer a solid bored. Just order that for your picture frame and stairs. I learned this the hard way.

composite decking is a joke, if you want to spend insane money on materials go with that herringbone ash wood system or get japanese cypress. trex is junk enjoy having your entire backyard top soil full of micro plastic for the next half million years

No idea what he is doing

Why do you call it dirty.

Old school,&save 900. Bucks😅😊

I have the same pair of safety squints!!

Pretty easy to see it's just a mock set up prob just whipped it together to show this. The saw horses are easy to see all you guys talking are the ones that look silly now

How do you deal with low points among the joists ? I've planed and belt sanded the high points, but there remain many joists below, in certain areas, the level top surface of the joist/frame ?

Well you’re not supposed to hang it over one inch the skirt is supposed to cover up the end grain

Silly. Lay the stone on a good bed, tamped down.

I can't see anything beyond the boards not being level.

I have a timber tech deck boards and there not scalloped

do composite decks even last longer the. treated wood ? mushroomed fasteners. moldy undersides saw dust and glue interior 100 percent pvc decking or use wood

The problem with this method is in soft or hardwood the heel of the saw can be difficult to control giving wavy cuts.

Economical in price if you have a lot of money

Get a tracksuit mate unbelievable tool to have

Com-pah-zit, not comp-a-sit

Or you go woth NewTechwood, they have an edge board that solid, with a special notch that fits their clips and you get a strong, totally hidden fastener system. Their deck boards have holes end to end for weight and heat (my deck is black, i can walk barefoot in summer on it) and theor post system is great too, all at a very competitive price

That's not a track saw at all, it's just a straight edge guide...and one of the oldest and most obvious ways to get a straight cut

That's nice , but gotta measure off the tooth not blade , gonna be 1/32 narrow. Gotta know what your doing

Which one does better wet?

How the heck did you get such a straight, level line for that beam on 2 piers using those brackets since they aren't adjustable? Nice work man!

So buy the solid stuff, buy once cry once, it really does look better.

man you are painfully unintelligent. from one carpenter to another

Look at what he did ,cut them boards way 2 short.
