HOW TO BUILD A DECK part 1: Pour footers and framing #shorts #construction #diy #contractor

Yo wtf are those forms? 😂 Thats only good for foot paths and the way you made them, wouldn't even pass for a foot path 😂😂 id bet theis house had problems before the shingles went up 😂

FK me 😂

Still nailing joist hangers? Old school. Use screws.

GOOD 👍 I like Jump

Muy grande la base de cemento, muy exagerado.....con la área de la base por 3 es más que suficiente y no la base por 12aprox.

Hey you only double the long side right with 2 , 2x8’s and the shout side just one right?

lmao those footings. shit gonna crack in a year or so😂😂😂

What is the black stuff on top of

Is the membrane used on untreated wood or doesn’t matter?

I'd rather just level out the land and then add deck blocks for the foundation.

Step 1: build a deck

How not to build beams. Not supposed to notch them - it's against code now.

Real question: Are you or are you not suppose to attach that back rim joist to the home or structure? I've seen it done both ways, but I thought it was best not to?

Is that 2x6 or 2x8?

Is there a frost line

Beautiful work 👏

Bravo 👏 when are you required to add additional post, how many will you need for a 16x16 deck?

We are a manufacturer for deck joist tape.

🎉

Is there a reason you want to put the footers off-center in/of the concrete?

What a horrible song

I know a newbie when I see one

How come posts aren’t centered on the footers?

The square hole :)

Dirty south vibes. This would fail in one freezing winter.

Did you paint or wrap the cut end of the 6x6

Messed up the most critical first step. Sono tube and get rid of the square top ro the footing.

Lmao if its up north, then the frost will push it up. Amateur

Hope this area never gets frost

That concrete definitely looks like it's more than a 4" slump. Are you running super plasticizers?

Don't do this. Frost heave will lift up the footing.

I don’t have decks where I live why all the duct tape?

I like to just start with a bunch of cribbing (scraps of 4x4, 2x4, 2x6, etc.) laid on the ground and keep building it up till it's at the height I want it.

How to NOT make / prepare footings

I wonder if this would work for fencing

Ouch. Diy videos are bad for humanity

No sonotube or wee bit of rebar?

rebar?

Looks like you suck at measuring the footings lol must be why you make the giant square hoping the post will land on it somewhere

How NOT to build a footer! That extra square on top will catch the freeze/thaw and heave the whole footer out of the ground. Just keep it in a sonotube and do it right!

Toe stubber!!! Buy a $5 string line next time.

Concrete needs to be straight up and down on the sides if in a area that freezes, the square top will bust if ground freezes. If it doesnt bust the hole concrete footer will frost heave.

I don’t know if I love or hate yer square-on-hole.
It looks like it would pass inspection easier if you miss dug but it also defeats the purpose of loading the post correctly over the footer if you miss measured.
Does this pass code where you are?

Man this is beautiful!!

May I have purchase your plans to this?

Nice! Do folks sit joists on top of the beams much anymore?

So, does anyone ever encounter having to get permits? I usually come across the "how to build" but not the before process.

U do a great job…. When I was building decks for a guy, he never went that far

I wonder if you can tell me how you deal with a footer on an existing structure that is sinking?
