Learn how to Install a deck and common deck failures. BAS Renovations

i don’t need this now but bookmarked

Doesn't hurt to learn ...

Dude was born to teach, he is making fun, no bullshit just info coming at you at great speed. Pretty good. 👏👏👏👏

Top tier builder that one

What are the chances illegal mexicans do all these things properly? My money is on 0%.

I've seen many of them do a pretty good job too. Idk if they're illegal tho

I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO WAYYY TOO MUCH

Thank you

Every time I watch these videos my testosterone levels increase…

As it should

Probably the best instructional video i have ever watched on social media. Great job

Blake is a great guy who knows his tuff

So this is probably the most valuable construction page on the internet.

Blake does wonder

I’m an engineer and ICC licensed inspector. This video should be a mandatory class for any permitting a deck. You should see some of the dumb shit people try to install.

Use more posts if possible and no ledger. Ledgers will eventually leak water past the siding.

Insightful.

What's the source of this? This guy is fantastic!

If you have a TikTok he goes by @builtbyblake5

Nice beam wrench

My grandpa didn’t do all of this and only had nails and a hammer and his deck is still standing strong 48 years later… is it the wood or something?

They had the better wood and the expertise, now we just have tools. They also had fewer chemicals flying around in the air.

I’m so glad I make enough money to pay people to do this.

Looks hard?

Screw that, hiring welders - you only live once

Epic content

Thank you, Sammy

wow excellent tutorial content

More knowledge gained then?

This dude is a REAL carpenter

Been in the construction industry for 30 years. This is the true difference between Jack charging you $10k to build your deck and Pedro charging you $4k You get what you pay for. (No hate on the Pedros of the world. We also need that option sometimes, so thank you.)

I know I won’t ever build a deck but I’m bookmarking in case it somehow happens. xD

@GRZ_VRC As you should 😄

Love this content

Thanks Howard

This guy fails the deck framing. Never attach the rim/ledger board directly to your house (especially OSB). The rim/ledger should be mounted standing off the structure. You can make your own standoffs or purchase them at a lumber yard. There are one inch pucks you lag or bolt through and/or steel U shaped brackets for mounting also. What this guy did is guaranteed to rot the wall. 100%.

Nice job! We tend to do things a little differently over here — Germans do love to over-engineer — but I could totally see myself building my deck exactly like that.

Glad you picked one or two here

Actually great to see that he shows the wrong way too so you can really see the difference in how important it is to do it right.

If your deck's less than 36 in what stupid state makes you do that. Anything less than 3' why not make it floating.

Agreed

@PrinceHerbMtn This is good content. Wondering if the expert @jamesonhaslam approves…

100/10, video Need more

💯

I'm a contractor now after watching this video.

Go start some site work 😀💪🏾

Do you need a deck?

I think modelos are the source of all deck failures

great presentation

This used to be a 30 minute episode of This Old House.

This guy is awesome

@remantalo

Excellent.

Why is nails over screws?
