How to Make a Backyard / Jobsite Building Platform | Modular Deck

[@user-zv1qp4wn3k]

How do you make wood waterproof?aFor me, the ideas in ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

[@cheyennevigil623]

This will be perfect for the platform Im going to be building my girls this summer, we live in rattlesnake side of CA and I want an elevated space for them to play on !!

This is exactly what I needed to see ...youtube legitimately never lets me down this is to the spec what I need wow ...thanks

[@blackcherry6058]

Thank you! I'm gonna use this for my outdoor concert!

[@cheyennevigil623]

what a cool idea!

[@madisonhitch9244]

I’m so excited for the bus series!

[@scorpio6587]

Great idea. I like that you planned for the environment.

[@FieroGTXX]

Next time I need a stage for an out door show. I'm doin this!

[@Joeygalvez494]

Just reinforce it by double. All that jumping and dancing will probably break it apart real quick

[@xDJ3NTx]

Using this to build camera risers and drum risers for our church! Thanks!!

[@RumMonkeyable]

Mike, you ALWAYS provide so many practical DIY ideas. Thanks!👍😊

[@jeromegarcia5396]

Ok, don't go and get all funky on me, but for those who also do not know...
USE GROUND CONTACT PRESSURE TREATED lumber, do not use OSB outside, and screws should not hold up the weight of itself and a load lag bolts or carriage bolts are required for loads, your fresh cut no treated lumber is termite food...
tho it doesn't rain much in your area doesn't mean the moisture in the air will not destroy your lumber... especially with the cost these days...
this was a great effort and a decent first go for not having the skills...
I say this last 3 years tops but fails first frost...
now we all know,

[@mickholgate3347]

Great job, just a thought though, the screws are the only thing holding the platform up, it would be good to put the legs under the platform (by rebating out etc) so that they carry the weight, not just the screws. Just something that i thought of mate, that's all.

[@yzhmoeh]

The screw act as a fastener. What hold two pieces that is fastened is the friction. (As long as they're fastened tight).

[@MrStashamo]

The shear load of the screws is probably sufficient, but added surface area and glue would help. Also, shifting the joint line so that the plywood edges and 2x4 edges are offset. Ripping a sheet in half would place the 2x4's seam in the middle of a sheet of plywood. One works while one works differently. Keep them up @Modernbuilds, I can't WAIT for the bus vids.

[@mickholgate3347]

@@yzhmoeh they do, but could be performed better by being supported on the piers.

[@mickholgate3347]

@@MrStashamo I'm certainly not 'knocking" the build, just highlighting that it would be made stronger with a few simple tweaks, that's all guys! It's a great project!

[@rollingballsculptures]

great! exactly what im gonna build in the next few days.

[@dalemorgan8049]

Why would the cross pieces be 43"? Wouldn't they be 45" in order to stretch the platform to the width of the plywood? The 2x4 sides are 1 1/2" thick, x 2 = 3", and 48" - 3" is 45".

[@Beebsentrance]

Practical and excellent.

[@afenrick]

Nice El Reno school bus! Good to see some of the 405 has made it out West.

[@JadedTruth]

Very simplistic and great build....👍👍...

[@politicalpartyagnostic268]

This is exactly what I need!!!🤗 Are you a mind reader???😆

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome job Mike! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Does watching this count as following you on another platform? 😁

[@TheWeekendDIYer]

Nice build! Can't wait for the next video!

[@g00fysmiley]

Nice... But in a more wet climate like FL i am thinking pressure treated 2x4s and plywood would be needed but still would work quite well

[@JuanHernandez-zy9xu]

Buen trabajo amigo, te sigo desde la Ciudad de México, un saludo!! Well done my friend, I follow you from Mexico City, best regards!!

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

Great job Mike. I wish it didn't rain as much in the UK😀

[@ChrisPage68]

Reminds me of when I used to volunteer at a youth charity. We converted a single and double decker into mobile classrooms/activity centres. I ensured the single decker was wheelchair accessible, based on my personal experience. Looking forward to what you do with yours. 👍

[@laneshaeffer2985]

Hell yes mike

[@sunnysunfizz3622]

i might try this

[@bryansoto6355]

You keep doing it big Mike. Another great video. Can't wait to see that bus series!!!

[@kelseyg4]

I love how practical this is. I can just here mike now... “Awe dang, I’ve gotta get a video out, and this bus won’t be done for a while. I got it! I need a platform anyway, so might as well get some content out of it!” Well played sir!

[@ModernBuilds]

You know me all too well :)

[@joshrivera2943]

I'm in! Just subscribed. I really enjoyed a couple of your projects I will be doing in my place very soon and boy I am really glad I saw these videos first otherwise it would of ended really bad. Thank you and god bless!.😊

[@georganabredy13]

Awsome work and you made it seem so very easy. Thank you!

[@ShopTherapy623]

I probably would have laid the OSB in the other direction to tie in the 3 platforms.

[@RayoBeatz]

this would be nice for a stage for performance.

[@UGCshakinahstouch]

Thank you

[@lesh1986]

I think i should do this for my salon pedicure platform fot 3 seater for adults to sit when we do pedicures.

[@efresh20]

this was great

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Great project Mike, Looking forward to your bus build.

[@mitchellzembik1618]

How much weight would something like this be able to hold? I like this idea for trying to build it for under my above ground pool.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Nice, dude! 👍🏽💪🏽
Planning the same for next summer. I need a “working deck” next to my shed.

[@ModernBuilds]

For sure!! Definitely work a day to build

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Modern Builds you made it look so easy! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’ll have to use slightly different materials because it rains way too often where I live.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the bus build.

[@lancelothunter6815]

Nice! Would you ever put a fascia skirt around it to keep out the rattle snakes?!

[@allysonmcabee8924]

Strange question, if I live in a very dry climate & this is on a solid suface could I tile on top of the plywood? Thanks! Love your videos!

[@ahkeen]

#basic. Nice and simple love it ❤️

[@zombimetal3382]

I went last year to j. Tree and it snowed on my gf and I!

[@ColinEngel1]

Gotta question, Regarding the platform, what are the dimensions, just curious.

[@gvozd_official]

Super

[@gabrielruiz711]

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks Bro!

[@zekenzy6486]

good job. it looks beatuful ^_^

[@randymurray934]

I could never do this living in Nova Scotia.. unless i built it on bed rock.. still nice and simple design.

[@user-hd8ej8yx9p]

you don't need a square to "square up" when doing butt joints... once tightened, you can't either keep it square or prevent it from going out of square... just measure square it up with the first plywood you place down and screw down.

[@EM-yp1cf]

How would you build it if it was to be permanent?

[@cleokey]

Great idea, a work bench, assembly platform imo, that has a 12 month life expectancy?

[@desertsteez]

Awesom! I live here in the Coachella Valley! This time of year Joshua Tree is an awesome playground 👍🏽

[@chongthiencheebineffendi9640]

My place often have flash floods everytime it rains.. im thinking of utilizing a cement platform to make good use of the land i own.. can you make a video on setting up a concrete platform just like this?

[@bcharlie8939]

in your next build you should make a sign thats says: watch out for critters, snakes, spiders, ...

[@Pewter941]

How big of a platform would i need for a 8x12' shed?

[@mikesnare]

43" cross pieces... Was that a misstatement? If you're using 4x8 OSB and 2x4s to frame them, then you only need to take out 3" to account for the 2x4s on each long edge, which would make your cross pieces 45", right? When you place the plywood on the frames it looks like a good fit, so they must have been 45"?

[@clergh]

I thought you had to have concrete feet. Won’t the posts rot when they get wet?

[@jessvictoria2276]

How heavy is this and how much weight can it support?

[@schroederb2007]

was that a hugo stiglitz cameo at 0:45? :P

[@1omarrr]

How to anchor in the ground there is no cement foundation ?

[@vincebaker3384]

is the bus for you or some one elace?

[@fabianopereirabatista8815]

What is the normal blood sugar level?

[@jawshadow]

I don’t understand why the short boards are 43 inches. Shouldn’t they be 45 inches so the frame is 48 inches wide like a piece of plywood? (45 inches + 1.5 inches +1.5 inches = 48.

[@freyasfunhouse3178]

When do we see the bus build?

[@rerodr5414]

ok watching your video i think i am lost. my ex had told me that in order for you to lay a floor per sey that the OSB plywood would have to be at different ways encase it shifts? So if i am wanting to put down a concrete slab of 38'x 46' then have the platform sit in the middle of that do i place the OSB plywood ur way or place it where it is like crossed to prevent it from shifting?

@@ladytruth303 agreed, great approach Eric.

[@Uncle_Buzz]

U2 Concert anyone?

[@chugaaa]

Pressure treated ????

[@NAMOSCHI]

just wondering, about how long did u make each leg; or how long should i make them to be secure and not wobbly?

[@NAMOSCHI]

because my idea was 2ft legs and adding a few more than you did to each 4x8 platform, but I’m not sure if that would be stable enough. any insight you’d have?

[@tyangeli]

What sizes is the platform? Overall

[@rs2543]

How long are the 2x4’s? 8’ 10’?

[@mcldotcom]

ANYONE ELSE SEE WHAT IS THE MOST OBVIOUS DETAIL BEING MISSED IN ALL THIS ???
You Started with 2"x 4"x8' boards.
Instead of Chopping them in to ( Tooth Picks ) all you really needed to do was create and Ongoing frame.
3 Times 8 feet is 16 feet - Right ?
Or you could have simply gone 8 feet times two sections deep.
YOU USED WAY MORE CUT PIECES THEN NEEDED !!!!
1 - end board at 8 feet.
3 - inside boards at 8 feet ( REPEAT )
1 -sections would be 8' x 8 '
Two would be 8 Feet by 16 feet .
EASY as can be - Hands down.
Less lumber .
More exact sizes to screw together.
WIN WIN !!!
YOU TOOK good ready to go Lumber off the rack .
Cut it way to many times.
Then added in LOT OF EXTRA STEPS TO GET THE OVER ALL SIZE IT ALL STARTED OUT TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
MANY LUMBER SCNETERS HAVE CUT OFF OR SCRAPS FOR SALE.
THAT IS WHERE YOUR physical SUPPORT PIECES SHOULD COME FROM.
ANYTHING FROM 12 INCHES TO 2 FEET WOULD MORE THEN ADD UP TO THE ITEMS YOU CUT OUT OF 8 - FOOT READY TO GO INDUSTRY STANDARD BUILINDING PRODUCTS.
INSTEAD OF OVER THINKING .
UNDER Cutting is the way to go here.
8 -feet by 8- feet.
Needs two sheets of OSB or other similar type material.
If you feel the need to cut things then how about ( CUTTING the CRAP ) from these clips.
Anyone who has ever or never tried to make something Square can tell you first hand.
KEEP It SIMPLE - STUPID of K.I.S.S.
IF it ain't Broke - DONT Fix it .
4' by 8' is already half of a perfect square.
WHY YOU DID WHAT YOU DID -GOD ONLY KNOWS!
You Want to post clips, then think 3 steps ahead of those who watch your infinite - LACK OF WISDOM for doing so .
In this particular case: Less Physical work, Equals better end results.
Its all ready ( PRE-Cut from the Store.
Then you Cut it up like your Downing timber in the middle of the arctic circle with no one else around to think it thru for you.
WHY ?
Do Yourself and everyone else a Big Fat Favor ( STOP) Before you go any further with all this here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
