What a great project!
-
I watched a lot of videos on building a deck, and yours combines the best approaches from all of them. Thank you 💓
-
Good use of those speed clamps and the corner tool to keep things square. I'm going to make myself some.
-
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. youtube.com/post/UgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9… as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
-
Thank you! Your comments and directions were the best guide for the DIYers I've seen. Plus, the deck is sturdy and beautiful for any purpose. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
-
I thought your project looked great and professional. This was one of the better videos I could find of someone using deck blocks. Thanks.
-
Looks phenomenal! Awesome job explaining the process!
-
Lovely video! This deck will hold for decades. One recommendation tho, when you cut ground contact it is a good practise to seal the exposed wood.
-
Well done project. The dance after achieving the frame square resembled a touchdown celebration dance. Lol.
-
Wow. Much respect. You built that extremely well.
-
When the blocks are not on the outside beams but internal then the load of the weight of the platform is pushing down while the supported beams is trying to hold it SO the JOISTS HANGERS should be mounted INVERTED not normally. in this design the whole platform is held up by few nails and not the joist hanger support.

YEAH, HAD BUILT A 1600SQFT FLYING DECK WITH TREX KONA HAWAI'I .. ALMOST 20YRS AGO .. THE THING IS STILL A BEAST..
-
Excellent how-to video! This is the exact deck I want to build this coming spring. Composite decking is expensive, but I want something that I don't have to re-stain every two years.
-
I love the little happy dance!🙂
-
Thanks very much for sharing. I'm half way through a similar project (minus the pool, sadly) and you definitely helped me out with a few tips. I hope it serves you well for years to come!
-
I love it!!!!!!! Oscar was lovely 😍 thank you for share
-
Thank you for sharing your deck build and all your knowledge and experience! Great video!
-
Makes me want to buy a house so I can install a floating deck! Very cool!
-
I’ve convinced my husband to build a similar deck. Bit smaller. I really like your detailed instructions. This turned out really beautiful! Would love an update. How it is looking, what you might do different, etc…. Your pup is adorable!

ok. I need to have 4 more cups of coffee. I thought she was building a floating deck that could float on the pool.. = 😍
