- Today we finally start in on this new backyard. And what better way than with a super laxed DIY deck. Fast , cheap and easy but still great!
we use pressure treated lumber for the frame, GRK R4 screws for the fasteners and Tuff Block for the foundation.

I have to build a deck this year, and your video will help me a ton in saving time and building it right with the right supplies. Thanks. Great Video...
Glad it was helpful!
Straight forward and simple teaching. Ive been looking for a video like this for a couple hours now lol really relived me
Love your sense of humor. Hi from New Zealand. Thanks for your video.
🍻
I used your video to build a deck to extend my front porch. Your method, deck screws and the TuffBlocks. It was amazed at the results. Its only a 4Ft x 8ft deck but it came together in about 4 hrs from driving to buy materials to completion. I used 4'x8' exterior plywood for the deck surface. I'll paint with porch paint.
I built this same design deck in a 12 X 16 size close to our 6Ft fence. Now every time we use it, we have an unexpected view and vice versa of the neighbor's. Kind of uncomfortable to be watched while having a cookout. If we ever sell our house, I hope the buyer doesn't notice their cluttered back yard.
We recommend building privacy screens for higher decks
If there's room, plant some tall vegetation or grape vines.... Or add lattice to the top of the fence. Privacy screens if theres not much space.
brodie is the most chilled out dude ever
Woodbully...you are absolutely correct; we may not be as lucky for having a perfectly flat surface to work from.
Good simple builder that Maximises the use of his tools!… bang on
Thanks for this! I’ve watched a ton of deck videos and you answered a lot of my unanswered questions. I would have loved to watch the remainder of the process because you explain things well! Nice job!
Should have the full video out soon
I'm in Australia and need to soon build a deck for my tiny house and hopefully we can get these blocks here they make it so easy. Brilliant video! New subscriber. Thanks so much
Thanks. And they are an Australian company so you definitely can.
Bunnings have them :)
I was thinking “this is perfectly good and salvageable” 😂 I bought my house November 2020 and have wanted to build a deck but since I’ll be doing it all by myself I started researching Tuff Blocks and found this video. Good to see one person can accomplish a whole deck with this system!
It’s a great DIY system
Thanks for the detailed instructions! Very helpful!
Thanks for watching
Hi. Awesome deck build. Looks great. 👍
Great video thanks....I love the fact that from the first second watching the video you gef the feeling your partner has been moqning at you to get out there and fix the garden....but you would rather be somewhere else 🤣
Whenever I lose a tape measure I punish myself by going without until I feel I’ve learned my lesson. Never works and I’m currently measuring tapeless in my work pouch. Next step I’ll grab one of the ones I don’t really like but have lots of from my shed or basement or junk drawer. Then when I feel like, this time I finally learned my lesson! I’ll buy the expensive one I actually like. Should be due to purchase the good tape measure in 2-3 weeks.
going to attempt this deck project thanks for great video. Everything well explained. Having problems finding a stockist for tuff block in Ireland.
Good luck man! You could also use concrete deck blocks as an alternative
Super helpful for a newbie like me, thanks
🍻
Thanks Wood Bully i’ve learned a lot from your videos. Please keep the tips and examples coming.
I’ll do my best!
I wanted to say the same thing about the drill.... I am guilty of it too.😂
Wonderful video. You are so accurate and precise thank you for sharing!
Very nice video. Kudos to the person following you around with the camera. It ain't easy getting the camera to produce the detailed views that were absolutely necessary to get your message across. You have a sound, common sense approach to building. You earned my thumbs up and my subscription. This was my first video to watch on your channel but definitely Not the last. 👍
Thank you! Love to hear it!
Awesome job using our TuffBlocks! So many great tips you've shown here, especially the shims you created to overcome the height adjustment.
Can't believe you're wearing a t-shirt in Feb! What a champ.
Look forward to seeing what it looks like once you've got the deck boards on top.
Glad I didn’t swipe away. I was wondering where he got the foundation blocks.
Vampliers removes any rusted screws no matter the condition. It’s a must have for any tool bench or kit.
Anyone that wears an Alice Cooper T shirt has my vote. At the least I got some pointers....however I'm doing a raised deck with blocks and 4x4s.
Love this series! Going to build a 10 x 10 just like this! Also going to add a pergola, but just a corner or triangular pergola. Cheers from BC! :)
🍻
Charlie Sheen doing decks now🤣😂😅
You’re a dead ringer for him man, nice work.
😂 He's got that tigers blood going for him.
You seem to be a fully functioning ADHD professional. Lol, you're talented and equipped enough to complete jobs you start. We need more people like you.
31:29 And you use electrical tape for a bandaid too, right?! We are bros.
Not gonna lie, the tape measure comment made me LOL
It was perfectly good, and it was salvageable, but it wasn't what you wanted and that means it is fine to remove.
I watched it because of suspenders. A winner attitude!
🤙
Thank you for your video
You’re welcome!
There is a lot to be said for recycling, repurposing. I will watch because I love to build things. I am a female senior citizen and love to build it myself. Great video.
I agree, thanks for watching.
I’ve seen so many videos on a simple deck but the hardest part is leveling the land I think
I'm a newbie to this stuff but you made it super easy . Thanks Bro
Glad it helped
Dude always got the best shirts
Kcuf yeah! Awesome video.
You don't have to use the pencil, you can just move the speed square under the tape measure and then hold it firmly there while you cut.
I love how he showed no mercy to that old pergola. Went to town on it with the saws all.
Gotta stick with it
Super useful video, thanks and I enjoyed the craic too! 😂
🍻
Love the tutorial. Even not handy people like me might be able to work on this. However, it would be a dream come true if this can done using duck tape and super glue. Lol
😂
Thank you! It was instrumental in my learning process
Glad to hear it
Like it. Only critique, it drives me nuts when people use their power tools as a hammer. Just get a rubber malet, they're so cheap!
Not as cheap as using the driver
You should call your impact drill a “hammer” drill 😂
This was really good. To be honest little editing would benefit this. But what we lost in some boring video we benefitted it in the audio. Fullfilled with good information.
Ive built many patios and I live in different country and we do them little different especially hoe we start them. And this isnt professional what I do but all of mine have hold up fine.
Thabk you and you defiently gained a subscriber
I now know why some drills are called hammer drills :) A good frame mate!
Exactly
You are super cool. You guys make an awesome team!
Wish I was this handy
You could be
I’m going to try this method!
Let me know how it goes!!
I definitely learned stuff here! And I need to learn stuff, so I offer much appreciation🎉
🍻
Those tuffblocks are brilliant. Superb video
Glad you like them!
Thanks!
No, Thankyou
You are hammering the hell out of that impact driver😮😮😮
Definitely
Very informative. Thank you.
Just a question about why you used 2x6 instead of 2x8?
I like your video very much and I learned a lot of new things. Will use this clip as a reference when I build my patio. My wish is that you in the construction industry, like the chefs in the USA, switch to the metric system 😉 with kind regards from Sweden
Thank you Charlie Sheen!👍😉
😎
I learned a lot thanks 🙏
🍻
Thanks for explaining the measuring of the joists with the tape measure.. most of these videos don't explain the details things like that. Also thanks for the tip with the cutting with a square!
Cheers
me @ 20:36, oh it's probably going to be automatically perfectly square just like the leveling. lol
Thanks for the video and information !!!
Thanks for watching!
damn, that sawzall cut was so rough he got the whole front of his pants!
Thank you! This is the only video that did not intimidate me...think I will do it! But can you please shows us your work after you build the foundation and also when you add the pergola p pretty please. I would like to do the same thing.
Just posted on my page
@@woodbullyltdI can’t find this 😫
13:52, someone needs to throw a level on that fence.
Great video ! I’m planning to tackle building a 12x12 deck soon. What sizes do you have to cut the joist?
Are these beams strong enough for that deck? I usually see doubled-up 2xs for beams. And could you go with taller beams and joists? I'm building a 12 x 12 deck with a similar structure but need a little more height so I was thinking of using 2x8s for the joists and beams.
For something this simple yes. Keep in mind this is meant to be a DIY install.
NICE SHIRT!!!
Thanks
New to building, please help. Building a she shed office for wife 10x12 in washington state. Using 12 camo blocks with 4x4 posts using 2x6x12s on either side of the 4x4s to make beams using structural screws. The floor is then made of 2x6x10s with single 2x6x12 rim joist. Im using 2x4s for framing with 3/4 inch plywood subfloor siding with additional siding to be added and 3/4 inch plywood for the roofing. The beams go full length of the floor but the long sides are cantilevered 16 inches from the middle of 4x4 posts along the beam. The roof will be single pitch lean to style. Walls will be 7'6" on back and sides whereas approximately 9 feet on front. The shed will be finished on the inside in tiny home style fashion. And have a desk on the back side. I will have windows on the sides and a door in the middle front unless swapping it to the side is safer. Question is whether i can do this safely for my wife to work in 12 hours a day or whether i need to rebuild the walls to shorten over the beams or just focus theblive load to the center over the beams by putting the door in the middle. Most plans ive seen allow for the cantilever but when i look at residential building code the allowable floor cantilever is only the size of the floor joist. Ive built the beams floor and 3 walls already but as im new to building am getting nervous about putting the weight of those walls over the cantileverd sides. We won't have lots of things stored in the building as it will be meant for using computers and have decorations rather than storing heavy equipment and such.
Chain mail,mid evil👍
Bonus points for the awesome Alice Cooper t shirt!!
🍻
Love your videos
Thank you!
I was going to tear down my old deck until I checked the prices of chain mail.
Smart move
Do a video of you sorting your fence out as looks like falling over
Currently doing that
Dude your hilarious 🤙
I like the name, wood bully, so i subscribed.
🍻
Holy god. This dude takes i eat a bowl of nail cereal in the morning with a shot of treated wood shaving soaked in motor oil for breakfest. Gives zero fucks about his tools.
Thanks for this!
You’re welcome
❤ 😂. If I did 10 x 10 would I need to start out with one more base row? Or two and would I need to beef up the rim or blocking? Sorry but thank you! Besides taking time to answer might get your boss off the clean up detail 😊 your welcome! 😀✌🏼💪💪❤️
10x10 should be fine this way as well.
More DIY video please 👍👌
Definitely
Love the shirt! I've seen the man live more times than I can possibly count. What foundation blocks are those and where can I get them? I've never seen those before.
Amazing
Bwahaha. Love this video. Its almost like you're my son and I taught you how to build stuff. Hammer drill, check ✔️ Yard worse off than it was before you started, check ✔️ Bitchin beginning of a deck, hellz yeah 😂
15 years later he steps.into his garden again and it looks the same
I love when I'm in Home Depot and one of these guys are returning a tool and says I have no idea why my screw gun is not working. Maybe because it's not a hammer drill lol .
It works fine
Wood bully lol beating up the wood with the drill/hammer😂😂
I thought he was Charlie Sheen 😂😂😂😂😂
Loved the video! 1 question and 1 suggestion: do y'all use joist hangers for unattached/floating decks? Suggestion: in editing, turn the volume way down for the cutting or drilling segments when you aren't talking. Trying to watch these at night with MY BOSS asleep beside me means my finger gets cramps trying to turn the volume down for noise but up for commentary. Can't wait to see the rest of this transformation. Thanks for all the free tips!
Thanks for watching!
I only use joist hangers when needed. In this case with a 6” cantilever they wouldn’t provide any additional help. Also I will take that audio issue into mind. 🍻
@@woodbullyltd or suggest Jeffrey wear headphones..just saying
Use earphones
FYI, a drill is NOT a hammer.
I have an 8x10 that a guy built about 20 years ago. He didn't use beams. He just nailed rim joists to posts, then nailed floor joists into rim joists. No joist hangers. I want to rebuild it because it is "bouncy" and is getting worn. It's about 40 inches off ground. Is there anywhere you can recommend that I can find plans for how to do it right?
I should have a few videos on here showing how it’s done
Awesome!
Thanks!
@@woodbullyltd appreciate the great perspective on both DIY level vs professional approach to the project.
Most demonstrations of the use of the Tuffblock showed it being set into the soil a bit with a tamped down layer of compacting gravel type. Why did you just set it on top of the weed mat? Or were you just building the frame on top of it, then remove it and later position the tuffblocks into the soil?
Just seeing what it can do. It’s been over a year and it’s still good
@@woodbullyltd I guess if the load is heavy enough it shouldn't move. I still wouldn't want to test it out. Might also be dependent on soil type, slope and climatic conditions. I suspect that if you live in a very dry climate with very little rain to soften the soil, it might be OK. Not so much in the tropics or sub-tropics that are blessed with a lot of rain. Let us know how it went in five years time.
I’m doing this type of deck but no way my area is flat like this lol
Alice Cooper: the quiet room. Forgotten music, helas.
🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼
Best in the bizzzz
🍻
Let’s pour a drink every time we carpenters dropped our speed squares on the ground and used our impact drivers as a hammer…
Not enough to pour
----- " you don't have to do this, but I recommend it - you need to crown your joists "
---- no: you crown ever single piece of wood you aren't using for deadwood or blocking - and those you check for warp --- in fact, you check every single piece of wood for straightness - crown, warp, and bow - BEFORE you pay for it -- leave the trash for those who don't care or aren't going to look
Settle down
Hahahaha
I have flipped over my ten-year-old pressure-treated boards and am starting again with the non stained side up and now need to know if I should put a 1/8 gap in between all the boards before I screw them down. I've heard that I should do that to allow for movement. The trouble is I don't want to put a space between because those gaps tend to fill up with all of the tree stuff that's surrounding the deck. Is it necessary to put the 1/8 Gap between the boards? Thank you so much for your advice.
Old boards won’t shrink. I’d suggest gaps for water to drain regardless
@@woodbullyltd thanks I did leave a good 1/4" gap and looks great
two batteries on that makita? how much does that thing weigh??
What style framing is this? How is he able to do three 2 x 6 and an 8 x 8 space?
Where do I buy the impact drill that can be used as a hammer as well?😂
High impact mart
Can I build a shed with those tuff blocks? 😂😂
A simple one yes
