Great job! I was waiting for this. That looked like a ton of work... just saying as I just recently updated my deck to all composite and loved some of your tips, especially the use of tape. I wish I had the $ to do the waterproofing and knowledge during that time.

Next time!

[@BodaciousBiscuit.]

How do you mount the deck boards over top of the framing of the deck? I have the waterproofing down but I thought screwing the boards down would compromise the waterproofing?

[@drdecks]

That’s what the tape over the top does- it seals the screws.

If this DR Decks is saying it’ll work I’m sure it’s a good system. Looks like it rains a lot wherever you’re at anyway so the system sounds like it hold up.

Hey Dr! I was just curious I build over here in South Dakota and I was wondering where do you buy your pond liner epdm stuff and what mill do you get? Just trying to be efficient.

Is it a dumb question to ask what is best bit to use to drive big deck screws? I’ve been using just cheap nut drivers from whatever cheap bit sets I have lying around. Should I be using some type of impact socket? Of course I use a high torque impact driver.

[@drdecks]

We don’t specify bits but often use @dewalt impact rated bits

@@drdecks Good to know. Thanks!

[@ryanmmansfield]

Sounds like you should be called “dr tape” glad this works in the climate you are in Unfortunately I don’t buy it for Canada

[@drdecks]

It works great in cold climates.

Do you really think aluminum frame is going to stick around?

[@user-pn8ke3kf5f]

It's bugproof. It's more fire resistant. It doesn't rot. It doesn't mind getting wet. It's 100% recyclable. Seems like a great long term choice.
