Rounding another Deck Corner

In this video Old South Barns will show you how to round a corner on a porch or deck. This deck is framed in the easy way that most people understand, and the round corner is a breeze with a little math. So sit back and enjoy as we round another corner the Old South way.

I build decks the same exact way I just sink the posts in the ground and don’t normally do piers. Nice job sir ATX fence and deck!! That’s me

Good explanation. Thank you.

Glad you liked it

Good tips for the radius. Thank you. How does the 2 x 10 with all those deep kerf cuts hold up in the weather. I’d think that would rot out much sooner than the rest of the pressure treated wood..?

[@OldSouthBarns]

It holds up great. We use a HMRBS adhesive on the kerf side before bending that locks everything back into place. No rot known by us in over 25 years, so I say it works great.

for the bend... I just used 1/4 PT plywood 3 layers and tongue oiled between each layer and made the curve.

Or, just drench it, wrap in plastic and leave in sun for a few hours before bending.
I would also not cut it at the radius start points but let it go straight for one extra post on each side to avoid that slight kinked look that comes from the bend starting on the joist.

How do you bend those 2 x 10 boards?

[@OldSouthBarns]

My friend it is all right there in our video showing the entire process.
