Great job Fred,Art and Jeremy of Hickory Dickory Decks.
Great Video ... but you should have show a a pictures with it completely done. You let us miss the most important part! Your finished beautiful creation !!
not for nothing but ive been looking for some no nonsense advanced deck builds and although i wish this one had some more instructions i was impressed by the outcome. alot of the videos i see my building inspector would laugh at but building codes and finished products MUST jive with each other and planning is everything. nice build.
Thanks for the video guys it was really helpful after taking several hits of speed!!..three thumbs up..just kidding you guys are great!!..
Superb work gentleman.i learnt something today thanks
amazing video! i have never ever seen that 'bend wood' before. amazing properties!
That fugly shit is plastic. You can bend wood too, by steaming it, but not if the bords are that wide.
Thanks for the lesson champ.
Sorry, didn't quite catch that you were being sarcastic, I was so pissed about this plastic crap. I am all for using this kind of material along stretches of freeway, for noise reduction, or for things like fence poles (assuming it is made out of recycled plastic). But for things like a patio in your back yard-not so much.
Standing on an upside down flowering pot... NICE.
Ok im impressed!
whats the point of this video if you are not going to show the finished product
I am working on getting finished images added to the video. In the meantime,I was excited to get the video online and show what is possible and how easy our product is to work with.
So funny!! I was going to say just about the same. Unfortunately, I won't remember this particular vid in order to check back.
I was thinking that too....needed some show off segments.
edwards edwards i

Even without the show off photos, you could at least freeze frame the last image instead of freight training us past the end right into your logo!
This is great craftsmanship. Really nice job. I'm curious though, did anyone discuss with the home owner that you can't cover your outdoor A/C unit with decking? When you cover a unit like that it recycles the air over and over which causes it to be much less efficient. Every brand I've installed requires 60 inches above the unit if it has a top discharge like the one in this video does.
All that wood and curves reminds of how a piano is built.
good job
Looked amazing wish I could've seen it at the end tho...
I can't even begin to type a list of stuff I'm concerned about😮
Great work and craftsmanship. I got a question for you, I'm guessing that your using the Cortex plug system. Are you guys using to make the hole to accept the plug for the composite decking. I find that on the brand of decking that I use that the screw creates to much of a mushroom and the look with the plug installed is very noticeable. I need to pre drill a pilot hole then drill again with a perfectly sized drill bit with a stopper to accept the cortex matching plug. The plug system works great with white Azek but not so good or easily with the decking. Maybe different brands of decking screw better.
Thank you for your question. We do recommend pre-drilling with a Starborn or Metal Works type bit. Color matched screws were used here, with no plugs of any kind and we thought it looked great. If you need help finding a retailer for the Starborn Smart Bit, please contact us through our TruNorthDeck website and we would be happy to help.
nice video
What do you heat the boards with? Am I missing something on the video? I think this is cool. Is there a special heater? Thanks.
It looked like they had 2 gigantic heating pads
the yard was too small for the trouble.
10 out of 10 for effort curves always make so much more work in the build
Sometimes this needs to be justified wether all the extra time and money spent warrants it architecturally
No weatherproofing adhesive?
How were you able to make the rounded corner. I would like to build a deck in one half of my yard, & have it go around the edge of my pool.
gino volta the TruNorth Deck composite boards were heated and bent around the substructure. There are limitations on the radius of the curve, but it could work for your pool. If you would like more information, please contact us through our website, www.TruNorthDeck.com.
I'm curious as to how you are keeping the bottom of the stringers out of the dirt. What is supporting them. Looks like blocks fastened to the side. Hmmm...
Thank you for your inquiry. We didn't show the detail of the bottom of the stringers since many municipalities have different regulations. Some require a concrete landing or paver stone, others use our plastic lumber and some allow the stringers to be resting on the soil.
hi, that timber you use on the steps to bend around the job, what is it please ?
Brent Jones it is TruNorth Deck composite boards. Eco friendly, virtually no maintenance, no splinters and no rotting. Check it out at www.trunorthdeck.com.
can someone tell what is that board that they heated and bent as contours? a product or a type of wood?
R Tintin thank you for your inquiry. the board is a composite deck board that is ultra low maintenance and also has the great features that it can be heated and bent like that. You can learn more about the product at www.TruNorthdeck.Com
Very nice, cheers from Melbourne ,Australia. Is this a composite material? I built a curved deck but had a BIG problem trying to bend merbau timber - snapped into pieces when I applied pressure ! If this is composite material , it has great flexibility - I made the wrong choice in timber selection for the curved application.
It is composite material. If you are interested, Mitten Vinyl has inventory available.
Thanks, had a look at their web site. Cheers

Maybe there's part two of it, will wait then!! 😐
What type of material are you useing for the top of the stairs?
The deck surface, including the stairs, is composite made by TruNorthDeck. The substructure is all pressure treated lumber.
Where do I rent or buy the equipment to curve the decking ?
Jose, there is a company called Heat Skins that sells them and you can have them couriered to you. You can also reach out to clubhouse decking. Com and they will help you
I need to learn steam bending!
I was going to inquire about the bending. It is plastic. wouldn't you use the oven type of PVC bender used by plumbers to make custom bends in PVC pipe? That is a gas fueled open flame operation.
What happens to the grass under the deck?
With no sun, the grass does not grow and hasn't been an issue.
What's the name of the music?
Parker and Hanson - Afterthought
and
Above and Beyond - Tokyo in the first half of the video.
no posts into the ground?
FlyinRaptorJesus they used metal helical piers that are screwed in, instead of wooden posts. They are supposed to last longer and stay in place better.
How would you like to be screwing down one of those steps only to have one of the bent boards dislodge and hit you square in the face? That's all I could think of when I saw those curves be put in. That could kill you if it hit you just right.
Joey M, thanks for watching. The boards actually stay curved after they are heated and bent, even without screws. The challenge is to get the board curved to the exact desired radius before it cools and stays that way. As with any deck board though, it wouldn't be good if the boards became loose so composite deck screws and the TruNort Deck Slide&Go hidden fasteners were used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Living on the edge!
Which kind of wood is bendable like this?
Amroth3 It's not wood, but a composite material - usually made of half bamboo (or other wood chips) and half recycled plastic..
Not sure what names these products go by in the US, but here in Australia there are a few brands, Modwood, Ekodeck, Futurewood.. etc..
I've used them a couple of times in my own business, and the main upside is the very low maintenance costs.. downside would be a tendency to crack or chip out the corners if you use screws, (predrilling is a must), and the material really hammers your saw blades, (I went through 2 circ saw blades and a brand new 12 inch Irwin hand saw on a 40 sq mt. deck!)
but to answer your original question, bending the boards is done by heating them up, being essentially plastic, they become supple, and bendable, and when they cool they barely move ever again.
Gene Lomas, you are correct, this is a composite deck board made by TruNorth Deck. The board is made with a blend of recycled plastic and Rice Husks, so it is not as hard on your blade as some of the bamboo products out there. It is made in North America with clean recycled material, free from metal and other hard contaminants that would also be hard on your blades. The composite screws are getting better and many brands don't need to be predrilled for most applications anymore.
TruNorth Deck is available from Mitten in Australia if you want to check it out. Thanks for watching!
The material is TruNorth Deck Composite boards. As Gene commented, it is bendable because of the recycled plastic used. Rice Husks are also used instead of saw dust and other fillers used in other brands of composite boards, because they tend to absorb water and cause mold and swelling issues in the future. Besides the bendable properties, the boards do not require sanding, staining, sealing or painting like wood does. thanks for watching!
Name of the song pls.
"Afterthought" by Parker & Hanson
Thanks, great work BTW!
Excellent vid, tho they must have understanding neighbors to allow the workers to go onto their side to build the fence, thereby cutting them off from their neighbors, hmmm.......
I would have made 45 corner than rounded....way overkill hassle heating and beding deckboard. Good job though
Somewhat interesting up to the point they added stairs outside the rear house door without at least a 36" landing. That's a 100% safety fail. There isn't a place in the us where that would pass an inspection. Landings are a must outside of doors.
Thank you for your comment. The safety concern on the landing is good information for the viewers of this video!
Gordon, you are correct. I didn't even notice that. I was more focused on trying to figure out how the stringers were supported so that they don't rest on the dirt.
Excellent video, and the build process was very informative. Thank you for sharing. There's a lot of lazy arse couch potatoes complaining about no reveal photos etc. this isn't the block princess it's the real world, building a deck to this level of difficulty and finish is priority number 1 and making an entertaining video for your unemployed lazy carcass takes second place.
so it only took 3 days the rest of that work done in one day supermen
Keith Byrne haha, yep. About two weeks for the HDD Crew with rain outs and some holidays.
that cant be real wood being bent like that? cause it would have to be in water or steamed for like a year or more.
for a year XD hahahahahaha
i like concrete rather than curving the wood.
что это такое?
They did not put a landscape cover over the grass... I wonder if grass growth continued below the deck. Deck is beautiful.
On woodprix website you will find the plans you are looking for.
Owner has more money than sense
Why is this video on at all. How was the wood being wrapped around the deck? this is a joke
James Weissbach this video is posted to give you an idea of what is possible with composite decking. There have been several articles written by deck builder deck builder magazine as well as other resources online that can show you how to bend the material with very specific instructions. I thought it was pretty neat build, and something unique from other traditional deck builds.
all i have to say is WHY IN THE WORLD WHOULD YOU BUILT A DECK IN THE SMALLEST BACK YARD EVER
ihunt113 thank you for your comments. It is a very small backyard! The deck helped the homeowner make better use of the space and enhanced the entry way to the back door of the house. If you have a larger backyard we would love to have your business and build a larger deck for you. Check out our website at www.trunorthdeck.com for more information on how you can buy TruNorth Deck.
It's called cutting your coat according to your cloth mate.
After all that you never showed a nice shot of the completed deck! That was not to bright! Watched the whole thing to see what it would look like after and nothing!
ko
The fence is not to code poor neighbors giant wall
5 feet. base under it doesnt matter as its not technically part of the wall. its basically a loophole in the law.
Great! another plastic deck that's going to look like bloody hell after one season. Besides, what's the point of a deck in a small back yard like this, is it so you can stand on it and look into your neighbors' backyard? Dumb! Just build a nice staircase off the back door and install a patio at grade!!
Merv Cann thanks for your comments. The deck boards are guaranteed for 25 years against fading and they don't mold like other wood based composites so they look great always! Take a look at the website for more information www.trunorthdeck.com. The owners love the deck and use it nearly every day.
I don't get it. What was the point? If they wanted to cover their garden and stop things from growing...why didn't they just concrete the whole thing? You can see that their neighbour did that. The stairs around the edge just lead down to a small compact earth walkway. Not even somewhere you might want to go. What's the point?
I guess it's OK if you want to live in a manufactured environment. But otherwise? Why bother doing anything outside your house...if you don't want anything as "messy" as nature to intrude into your ordered world?
Concrete would have been an option. Low maintenance decking is a popular choice for projects that could also be made from concrete. Decking has a differnent look than concrete and cost is often comparable. The entrance to the house is above grade, so regardless, stairs are required. Thank you for your comment. Let us know if you have any questions a out installing Trunorth Deck or if we can help you find a dealer for any decking material you need.
Excellent to see that woodprix has new plans what helped me save some money and energy to build it.
Woodprix scam is still alive in 2019?
I thought I was going to see a deck built. Not Legos.
Whats the point if youre not going to instruct....... :(
the music sure does suck
this will get ruined by weather in a couple of years
TEIS3210 the boads have a 25 year warranty, so we are confident it will hold up. TruNorth Deck hasn't had any warranty claims on thier boards because they use rice husks instead of sawdust like other manufacturers. So far the weather hasn't caused any fading or damage.
