Welcome to the first part of my big Outdoor Kitchen build! In this video, I'll show you how we framed a large floating deck on concrete pillars. And then how we decked it with the Trex Transcend composite decking system. At the end of this series, I'll have a fully functional outdoor kitchen, with a fireplace, kitchen space and much more for outdoor living and entertaining. The next video will cover framing and roofing the roof.

I've never seen a palm nailer before. That thing is amazing!
I bought a palm nailer specifically for building my deck. They are invaluable!
A palm nailer also serves as a great vibrator for small formed concrete projects such as a concrete countertop or stepping stones.
That is a great tool to be sure! Quick and easy to use too!
I have one in my home depot list of things to buy already, used one many years ago.
Oh yeah since they came
I like your videos. No FLUFF. you are to the point. Nicely done. Keep them coming.
For perfect end cuts we always snapped a line and laid a straight board down to run the saw along as a guide. Even your dog could make that cut. Great video young lady!
I've learned so much from this girl omg.....she's so good! She's literally as good as it gets!!!!!!!!!!! Omg!
Crushing hard? ;) In all seriousness tho' she sure puts the hours in.
I was very pleased to see you wearing respiratory protection while cutting treated lumber. Gloves are important too because slivers from that stuff can be wicked! Enjoyed your video.
I totally agree!
It’s going to look great. You have such great energy when you are building these beautiful projects. Keep up the marvelous work.
good job to the whole team! You go, Cindy, you're doing a great job!
When I did mine, I back cut the 'end grain' of the composite decking slightly so you don't see the ugliness of it against the 'bread board' edge. It is a bit more work but makes a difference. Nice job - love your outdoor space!
Hard working, smart, and charismatic: you make the knowledge you share a pleasure to learn, April. Thank you!
That's so great to hear. I love absorbing information then relying it to others that are interested in the same thing.
I totally agree with both of you!
Well, you know what they say...
Design from the roof down, build from the ground up.
Fantastic build!!!
It has been my dream to run an outdoor kitchen on my property.
So much nicer to be outside in the heart of nature, than cooped up indoors.
She’s a breath of fresh air ….. explains well , works well a joy to watch go get em girl!
I love composite, the only downside is that if is expose to the sun☀️ it can get very hot ♨️🔥
My barefeet confirm this
Yep, this is true but I'll have a roof on mine. : )
Timber decking gets really hot too though.
Anything untreated in the sun gets hot.....
@@sofascialistadankulamegado1781 nothing compared to the heat from composite
Bloody hell April, I was thinking "Oh that's a nice deck" and then you showed the sketchup plan and wowed me quite a bit. It's looking great and it's going to be amazing!
:) hehehe, yes it is going to be pretty spectacular I think! I can't wait for you all to see it complete.
@@AprilWilkerson Hi April, great work. Keep it up. Do you have the plans for sale for the entire outdoor kitchen?
It is so satisfying to see that thrown together so well. The unprofessional, rude construction around me is going slow for them and all I see is possibilities for a permaculture paradise with homesteading communal type living where everyone works well as a team with big projects.
Impressive. Stumbled on this series down the line and now getting through it all.
Terrific job! I look forward to seeing you with Tim and Richard every Tuesday evening. I’m enjoying the show but they need more April!
You can also use a simple jig consisting of a 2xwhatever joist and a wider-longer cap stick nailed on to set the joist hangers. That is faster yet leaves you with usually zero joist end leveling... great project so far. Looking forward to the rest!
Hello April,I love all your videos.You are way better than I with your building.I work at the local county forest preserve.Chain saws are my skills.I noticed you using a chain saw at beginning.WOW April I'm afraid for you.If you have never seen a chain saw accident you don't want to.PLEASE,PLEASE If you don't use eye,ear and hand protection at least wear chain saw chaps.This is coming from a professional with chain saws.Chain saw accidents are horrible and hit fast.Also your teaching your viewers it's ok not to use chaps.I just love watching your videos and don't want you injured..thank you for your videos April.
April your a credit to women and most men in DIY, etc, I love it, keep it coming 👍
Thank god. I’ve been waiting since your teasers of this project
Great job guys! Amazing how much work was accomplished in only four days 🤙🏾💯. Love your happy dance April❤️
The most beautiful deck I have seen in my life! And huge too!
April, I enjoy watching this MASSIVE build daily on Instagram. However, I still did enjoy watching it again altogether on UA-cam. While the deck looks like a huge dance floor now. I can't help but think of all the great meals and times you will share with others in this special space. Awesome Job April and Crew!!!! I'm looking forward to more great videos from Justin on this build later this month!
Does Justin have his own channel?
OMG 😱 April you not making a deck but a open cabin good job lady 👍👏💪 by a 🇫🇷 fan
Aloha! New April video and my morning cuppa Joe. Happy Sunday! 😃
High dollar builds!!!!! The work is excellent !!!!
Quality!
Wow! So beautiful! So amazing.
It looks like it will be you a great deck with a kitchen. It will be a fine addition to the Wilkerson Property. Thanks for sharing! Felix
Awesome work April, looking good so far, can't wait to see the end result! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks this is such a valuable "how to". I want to build a screen porch, with a roof, on top of a large deck. Looking forward to the next installment of the project!
Thanks for sharing with us April, good job ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Felicitaciones! Espectacular proyecto!
Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay
Wow, what a journey!
Very inspirational April! 🤙🏼
Two things. 1 glad to see a new member to the team. She seems to be doing awesome. 2. Glad to see you guys having fun.
Cindy is the best!
One thing for sure you are a determining hard worker and very detailed on all your projects and that’s why a love you channel. Awesome deck
: ) Thank you very much. I never mind working hard when I want something. It's fun for me. Glad you enjoy the channel!
I’d take the roof overhang 2-4 feet past edge of deck, especially around those bar stools/chairs. Will help with shading, and rain later on, imo.
Nice looking deck and good choice of materials since a shortage😉👍🏻
Great work. We usually shoot the joist in as well as use the joist hangers
That palm nailer is fantastic. Didn't even know about that tool. Thanks.
It is one of the best specialty tools there is. My world changed when I found out about it!
@@AprilWilkerson Was that palm nailer pneumatic. ???????
Looking good. And see everybody is having fun. Take care and have a blessed week and see you on your next video
Thank you! You too! I really appreciate it
Nobody can ever accuse you of being lazy, U R NOT . I noticed that lil blond canine in the beginning just sitting in the middle of all the action Supervising, What a lil doll. She made her last appearance at the end as well..
Great job & video!!
When I first saw you on You Tube I thought "that's here in Texas". I'm about 90 miles southwest of Kerrville. I really like your videos.
Trex is a great material, we used the hidden fastener system when we redid the deck on my vacation rental home in Florida.
My heart ached a bit when I saw all the tags left on the end of the boards in the last section, and then ends without tags being final trimmed... but that will still be a very nice outside kitchen.
Love it. There is no can't. There is only easy or difficult.
The deck is so nice, and big.
April's abject skill makes me feel inadequate.... and yet I can't stop watching.
I have never heard that word before. I looked it up. I can’t process any of the definitions or understand how the word fits at all into her skill or this video. If this were survivor, I’d vote you off.
I've switched all my construction projects to use 24k gold. It's cheaper these days than wood!
We have a lack of wood in Germany right now, because most of the German wood is moving to the US and also China. You ask why….because it is just more cheap then the wood from your ground. It is unbelievable. And because of that the prices are exploding.
We can thank China, CV-19, and the US government for all this. As long as these morons continue to stay in office, they have us by the gonads. And they know it.
I'm looking to buy a house to tear it down and sell the wood to make a big profit. I guess this could be the way to flip houses. ;)
April, you have vision, you are a big picture thinker.
Well done to you and your team. 👍💖
Thank you, I am. : ) I love thinking about the bigger picture then breaking it down into smaller bites to start tackling.
Wow April I joke a lot on your page since I found it a few months ago but I must say, you have come a long way. If I’m not mistaken you said on a video about 5-6 yrs ago that you had no real training and now look at you! Great job, I hope to be like you in a few years ma’am 👍🏽👍🏽
Going to be an epic deck
Looking good getting it done. Thanks 😊!!
Very Nice April, Bravo.
You are an inspiration to all women who want to do woodworking! I learned a lot by watching you!
Happy to hear that! Thank you!
I use a bunch of Flex Seal on the wood that I bury to keep them from getting water rot. So far so good. The sides and the bottom.
This is fantastic work. Great job.
This is awesome!
That thing is huge! Biggest deck I ever built was 15x32. Great work my friend!
Thanks!
Amazing project
Another great video April
What a gorgeous deck! I loved the out-takes at the end also. Too much fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
amazing work 👌🏼💯
that is a great job april
I watched some of your hobby projects years ago and came back to this. Goodness you've come a long way, great job!
Thank you!
That is going to be an awesome outdoor Kitchen!!!! Love it!!!
Thanks!
About to build a tree fort for the kiddo. This was so helpful and affirming for my process.
Putting the palm nailer and post sleeve on my list.
Wonderful! I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
WOW !! Thats a major project. From the concept illustration, it looks like it will be beautiful!
I hope so! I'm really excited about it, but this is just the beginning of the work. :)
Awesome work
I'm a chippy myself form Dublin Ireland and have to say its going to be some job when it's finished.
God Bless the Irish, A tough bunch for sure.
Looks incredible.. Great job Team April..
Thank you so much!
Very Nice April!
April that was great. 👍🏻
Good Job April and the team👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼very Nice job🏰❤😍👌🏼
That deck's gonna look awesome once it's done. Looking forward to Part 2.
Coming soon! Glad you're enjoying it!
This deck is bigger than my house. 😆 But feels like I can give making my own (much smaller) deck now. Great instructional content as always. 👌
was waiting for this video!!! looks awesome guys!
I like your step by steps that explain why youre doing s omething...
I like all your works and video you are giving us, except from nailing and cutting healthy trees!🌳🌲🍀
Great work April! U r very hardworking...
:) I love working hard.
Well done. Good work and video
This video showed up in my “Recommended” & I’m so happy it did. Everything looks great, I’m looking forward to following the process.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@AprilWilkerson Thank YOU for taking the time to share such amazing content with us. Your tree deck came out great & I couldn’t agree more, framing is so under appreciated.
So easy. I've built a number of these in my life. I'll probably build another few. peace
It's nice to see you doing projects like this. Did you ever put a railing on the tree house deck? How's your wood shed business going? I hope it's doing well. Thanks again for making these videos. They are both informative and entertaining.
Félicitations un super beau projet lâche pas
Love the videos
THK U 4 THE IDEA------WHEN I HIT THE LOTTO U WILL B ONE OF MY *GO TO PEOPLE*
Wow that is incredible! Your outside kitchen is bigger than my entire house, teehee. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Lee :)
Enjoyed watching this great work thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks fantastic
Thank you!
Stunning, my dear, stunning!
Thank you so much!
Like... I'm so used to you building these amazing things, and am always amazed with what you build. However, today the most impressive thing I saw in your video is that the biscuit tube didn't surprise you when it popped... I am now convinced that you're some sort of super hero
Hahaha that truly made me laugh.
I have such deck envy.
I know this is a weird compliment but my dad and I don't really have much to talk about as I haven't had a relationship with him in a decade. When ever I'm alone with him I end up talking to him about your videos because we're both fans. You help bridge a gap :)
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I'm glad you are finding a way to connect with him. Don't ever give up.
Awwwww!
Wonderful
Congratulations on your success.
They make joist hanger guns that are even faster than a palm nailer I highly recommend it. 👌
Ive learned a lot from you lady ...thnx
You always make the work look easy ! Respect!
Hyy sir 🙏🤝🤝🇮🇩
Ha, well it's easy in concept but it was exhausting and hot and very taxing on the body. However, those things don't bother me. : )
I love that you two are sharing a pair of knee pads when you’re doing the decking. I saw you using them on Instagram and picked up a pair. I really like them!
They are fantastic!
Pleased someone else spotted that, they look a good knee protector, turns out my local Bunnings stocks them i'll have to call in and grab a pair and see if they live up to their rep
I purposely inflict shame in my life when I click on your videos. Lol. You push me to do more and you always make it so easy to understand your path. Sketchup doesn’t hurt either. 😉
Ha, nah no shame should be inflicted! But I'm glad to hear I somehow inspire you to do stuff. :)
Very impressive design and workmanship.
And your good planning results in minimal waste and that translates into saving money.
My only criticism would be the depth of the footing for the 4 vertical posts.
Are they deep enough to support the roof? I would think they need to be at least 4 foot in the ground.
