Very nice job. Thanks!
Since they don’t make 20’ deck boards should’ve done the deck board in a combination of 8’ and 4’ boards. Then alternate them to break up the seams 4’ then 8’ then 8’ next row would be 8’ 4’ 8’ then 884 and repeat that’s give you the best look and achieve your 20’ deck width
Just an FYI, they do make 20' decking boards in PT and composite.
Good job explaining a simple way to build a deck.

thee way to split the deck is brilliant and that's what I was looking for
O no problem bro. I am so happy I was able to help. Please like and Subscribe if you can 👍Thanks!
Let me know if you have any questions.
This was a nice, easy & simple method of completing this project and I’m going to make one (different dimensions) just like it.
(For future projects {if you don’t mind & it’s not too much extra work for you}, would you mind including more info on the products you’ve used {in the video description}? Like the deck blocks, deck guard {which you mentioned by Brand Name} or even the tool used for the spacing or anything else even.)
THANX!
Thanks I will. Please like and subscribe!
Thank you for this awesome video. Do you recommend to put anything on top of a sand base floor to prevent weeds from growing through?
Thank you for the feedback! You can put black fabric for sure it is not going to hurt. I did that but I did not show in the video!
Great video, thanks 🤙 What is that tool that you used to drill screws in at an angle called?
CAMO Marksman tool.

Very nice work, love the simplicity! I understand keeping the window wells open for light but isn't is a hazard? Especially if you have young kids? Just curious 😊
You are right. That is why I made some privacy and safety decorative screen. Take a look on my facebook page here, last post:

Also, for an emergency, escape like a fire. You should never block that
If there are high or low points would you recommend renting a large floor sander and making it all nice and smooth and even before staining and sealing? Just wondering...good job though!
Thanks. If it is bothering you yes you can, ot just buy belt sander, Ryobi corded what will work fine. I got mine 3 years ago and still working great.

What size wood did you use for the picture framing around the deck?
I used 2*6. You can use 2*8 as well but 2*6 would be more preferred giving some nicer look.

Hello, great job! What was the overhang on the frame?
One inch I think. Under the ovehang I later added 1*6 covering vertical planks.

What was the dimensions of the deck and how many ruff blocks did you use? Thx
10*20 feet. I used 10 tuff blocks as far as I remmember. Please like and SUBSCRIBE! Thanks
Very nice.... can I ask? 1. Why you didn't tape all the boards under the deck? 2. Why are you using 2x6 instead of 5/4?
I just missed to tape them all I guess. I used 2*6 for covering the deck as that is what is usually used and giving the best look I think. You can go with any of your choice 👍

Hey Handy, gotta ask.. the 2x's decking boards weren't pressure treated??
Yes they were not. It was lumber left over from another project of mine. I heavy stained it with deep penetrating oil stain so it is fine.
Please like and subsribe!
Thanks!
@TheHandyNeighbor yeah, I heard Norm on TOH say as long as protected and no ground contact.
Yes. Oil stain will last and only fade over time while water based stain gets very bad after few years and starts flaking off so does not seal anymore. Oil based is maintenance fee comparing to water based stain.
Did you use the camo tool to install the picture frame border?
No CAMO is only to space our deck boards. For the picture frame I just used deck screws and fastened it for the joist under it.

Can those footings be used in Indiana?
Probably, double check!
What did you do about the gap on the left side before you "split" the deck? Judt curious in case it happens to me 😅
Gap? What do you mean?
@@TheHandyNeighbor10:10 I was just curious if you filled it with a small strip later or just left it?
Oh I see. Yes I cut the small strip for that gap. You might end up with bigger gap and in that case you just cut a bigger strip.

Could I attach an aluminum gazebo to it without any footing?
Yes you could.
Would this take the weight of a hot tub? About 5000lbs.

Duct tape...ok
2 x8s...ok
How did you make it level?
Half of it was on concrete and half on soil so I raised/adjusted pavers on the the side where deck was sitting on the soil by adding more gravel/sand under the paver.
The other option is to buy adjustable deck block on amazon.

Do you recommend the adjustable blocks?
@tonybologna139 Yes I would use it as well, easier to level with it!
