Very interesting support for the deck. Some very good ideas. Thanks Tim.
Great work mate 😃💪👊
Thanks fellas, great video, very helpful.
Is that in code ? I thought you needed clearance under the deck or use H4 treated timber?
Hi Tim, it is a nice video.
I am planning to DIY decking. I think the size of my bavkyard is about thee same as yours.
My question is, are you using the same wood for joist and barriers? I was just wondering can we just skip barriers? So from the post i will attach joist then laying the decking straight?
Thank you
So, where are these "pros" I'm supposed to learn from, because I don't see any in the video.
Thanks Oz Handy Hints, That's a good call on squaring up, will be a couple months before we get a video on that subject up.
awesome, this was a great help thanks!
Drainage?
It's good to see the woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Thanks
were the bearers ment to be join glued and nailed every 900mm is that not the case ??
Thx guys good video
What timber did you use foe your bearers as they are very close to the ground? Is it H3 or H4?
Nice video, what's the material you are placing on the joists? Is it damp course plastic?
Cheers
Great video lads... ACE! Im about to embark on a small deck around the edge of a pool. Also about to assemble a verandah; any chance of posting a video on how to square up a right-angle corner? Cheers
Hey Tim nice video mate. Just a quick question what was the little yellow drill kinda thing you were using to drill the screws in?
impact driver
hows long's that timber gonna last lying flush on the ground? what level treating do you need?
level 4 can be in contact I believe , 70mm clearance minimum.
how did you secure the joist onto that concrete?.. looks like threaded rod maybe with chemset?. Am looking at DIY decking and want to make sure I anchor it to the house (brick vaneer) properly.. the forces on the brick won't be much as it'll be properly supported with pylons on level ground. Thanks.

What about when it rains and with low clearance.. Where will the water go? Legit question.
you need 70mm of clearance, the water will run to the retaining wall, and drain away. Normally you don't worry about drainage under a deck , but you may install drainage around the deck if needed.
Hi Tim....
Cool video, can you please tell me what laser level you are using, is the laser level set up on a tripod somewhere else.

Nice video mate. Would take me a while to complete but Rome wasn't built in a day.
Thanks {:-)
No idea at all and looks like a lot of stuffing around.
Try using MPG10 H3 140x45 for joist and bearer.
Read the framing code as 90x45 is not joist or bearer size.
Not sure if you are in NSW but that would not pass here.
Joist flush with top of bearer seen as you don't have much room.
Dont sink shit 90x90 post into ground and get some galvanized stirrups 75mm above ground for termites to comply.
Just cut and build frame packed up than level of with the fancy dumpy and dig holes last.
By the way what's the triple grips for and just get some batten screws.
Happy to send some picture of frames i have built. www.ptconstructions.com.au
It's all in the timber framing code of Australia, which complies with all states. Smaller joists mean closer bearers. Its about designing it for the area its going in.
I looked at your gallery Peter. Nice work! I too was concerned with posts in the ground. My biggest concern with a deck attached to a house is termite protection
hi mate what page did you look up for the spans?
Timber framing code
hey thank you for the video. Just wondering, if there is already a concreate tiled ground deck but its now sloping down (no longer even) this is how we bought town house) I want to build a low ground deck like what you have just done. Would I have to get rid of the tile concrete or is there anyway I can do it over it?
In some cases we attached battens to the concrete, with either spaghetti and screws or dynabolts . We scribe the bottom to concrete and plain the top once installed.
The purpose of the video is to help other carpenters with the priciples of erection. Minor diferences occur around the k world based on your climate zone
Hi Tim, Thanks for the video... Im doing a DIY at home and just have a question... if you have a spam of 4 metres how far should your supports posts be? I have limited space below the deck and am building it over a concrete slab.
thanx
generally 1.5m but it depends on timber sizes and grade of timber
thanks TIm. cause of the limited space I'm thinking to just use the joists and skip the bearers. if I have support every 1.5 m for these is it acceptable? what size should the joists be? thx for your help.
Got it sorted... Deck is long time built now
hey fellas, would you mind putting ur website address up the top rather than smack bang in the middle next time, makes it a little bit more difficult to watch this way, cheers :)
6.07 wtf did you cut that joist with oxy-acetylene ?
Apprentice's !
Not being a hater but the load shouldnt be resting on bolts just saying. Bad practise in my opinion
This deck was 100mm from ground level. If it were over 1 m then a 10mm notch in case bearers broke on bolts. But it isnt required at low heights.
Thank you, can you now post the quick method instead of the correct method
double bearer, interesting....
Excellent work. I am looking for this idea. Only one thing, I need to see stuffs not your face bro :-).
Well done.
yes
the subtitles on this are f'kn crazy
No videos in 4 years, what's happened ???
They went bust 'cause ya can't put shit pine on the ground!
@@brewsterly2927 exactly.. cant believe this crap deck build has stood the test of time.
Where's the fucking backyard?
Swaggerlot I know, no backyard is the go these days
+Tim Butler only for them... not for me, I need a pool!
Again: single 90 x 45s bearers....pfff..
bartbug1 it’s all about spans with timber. The span is the distance the timber has between supports. Provided your spans meet the codes for the size - the size is irrelevant.
crocodile dundee doing deck lol
Goog
Cowboys like this keep me busy fixing the fuk ups..
Shaun K yee haaa
I really like the Woodglut plans.
Amateurs placing a joist along the side of a post.... WRONG. Beams are to rest on fully or on a notched side or notched center of a post. Otherwise you are bearing on a bolt/screw so the post is not involved in the structural equation. Do not follow this instruction, most people do this which seems logical but is no way near right Speak to a Structural engineer, he will set you right, do not follow these 'Pros'.. They may mean well, but were taught improperly.
Joseph Böhme when the job is close to the ground - there is no risk of a collapse.
The timber is treated to be able to touch the ground.
If you need an engineer to work out your deck - you have no idea.
You should go to WoodPrix if you'd like to make it yourself guys.
Rough as guts...yuck! Won't l last 5 years.
built 7 years ago and its still there - dead flat hasn't moved.
@@mcnicolbutler YOU KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU WERE CALLED BACK.. LOL
what a lot of pissing about id have that done in a day two men laser levels dont make me laugh concrete dont make me laugh
bigissue that's awesome. Well done.
Well said Tim : )
Nice video
Go to woodprix page if you want to learn how to build it yourself
