Great tutorial as usual. There are a couple of thinds i haven't figured out. 1) when cutting the excess to make space for the breaker board, how do you avoid cutting the joist tape? 2) how do we install fascia board that are taller then the rom boards? The reason is i want it to cover the beams below as well. Many thanks
You show us neat tricks to use for a specific project, but those tricks can be applied to other projects. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your tips.
Nice job. Secure fastens on a well sealed deck frame. I do take exception to the dust- we now find in the environment you and yours breath. I profess using some type of duct control. At the end of the job a can full of cuttings shows how much can get away un noticed into the world around you. I have cut however w/o dust control but wear 3-m. pricey+20-50$sf. Has anyone ever discussed the action of traction on various decking in v. conditions such as wet or frozen? good audio, rare on ut.
It doesn’t look like you pre-drilled the holes, but then the screws seem to go deeper. What did you have attached to your drill for screwing them down? I didn’t see it in your list.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful work. You did not replace the old joists and landed up removing the nails and reused the joists. Under what situation do the joists need to be replaced?
very nice make over 👍 I am doing my makeover/addition next year and TimberTech is top of my list. The only other thing I am considering is a vinyl covering instead to keep under the deck dry; Going to watch your vid on drainage now to see how well it does. Cheers
I found this video very helpful. I am curious, however, what railing system did you work with. My deck is set up like this as well where there are posts for rails. How did you go about installing rails on this deck?
Have you had a lot of expansion and contraction with the Timbertech. Di you make butt joints tight or gapped? Edit: I now see you used spacers at the ends. But in cooler weather don’t they open up a lot more (or maybe there aren’t extreme temp differences where u are). As I think of it the use of the face screws with plugs probably is a big help in minimizing the contraction lengthwise. I think Azek recommends this for this reason. Anyway, looks excellent and Ty for sharing 👍
If choosing composite boards for a roof-shaded (but open to wind and rain) wraparound porch in the South (NC) would you recommend tongue and groove or edge grooved/spaced boards? Our porch does get wet with a hard rain and I'm concerned about drainage, though I think tongue and groove would look nicer.
Typically, I have experiences issues with the mitred picture frame corners in terms of expansion and contraction changing the uniformity of the gap over time. Is that also an issue with this product?
Awesome video, interestingly the video is sponsored by Timbertech , but through out the video a damn annoying ad for Trex continuously pops up. Damn UA-cam!
@victoryak86 They may be self-drilling screws but Timbertech recommends pre-drilling. That said, I found I was able to install without pre-drilling but some screws stripped out in the joists before landing at the proper depth. My best results came from pre-drilling about 3/8" into the deck board as recommended.
@@Hiltsy makes sense. If I’m honest, I have experienced the same. Most are fine but the ones that strip are a pain. Pre drill is the way to go but I tend to get in a rush and then end up spending more time dealing with the one that stripped😕. Predrilling for sure.
Oh my word, the fascia board install is so bad. Can you imagine looking all those fasteners sticking out!! There are a lot more elegant solutions to it.
You suck!! Next time, I'm getting up early on Saturday morning, and I will keep refreshing UA-cam waiting for Brent's next video. Next week's winner should get an autographed picture of Brent with his tools.
You butchered the corners and didn't leave any overhang overhang on the outer band. It's supposed to hang over at least a quarter to an 1-1/4"... You used way too many screws in some areas and also you have the fascia sticking out past the decking in area. Not to mention that drip edge you put in will do absolutely nothing other than driving moisture straight into the house. But hey...looks ni..decent!
You cover a lot but talk too quickly for all people to follow what your doing and why! Jump Formosa one thing to the next without time to digest the last factor. Last weeks video?
Brent, I have never, ever seen straighter lines on a deck project. I'm jealous and amazed at the same time. Great video!!
Haha love hearing that Mitch! Thanks so much for watching.

I'm glad you caught the missing flashing that's the first thing I noticed when you slid the board under neath
Little tip ,use your snap line to mark where your screws go ,they are all over the place
I like that it doesn't shrink like treated lumber and decking boards but the composite are so flemsy.
That deck looks better than the house! Well done Brent. As usual.
The home owner and I both agree with you haha! More projects to come with this house I assure you. Thanks for watching TJ!
Looks good! I probably would have done a 1/4 inch reveal over the fascia boards, but I dig the way this turned out!

Thanks so much for the kind words and all the support. Truly appreciated.
You have a very engaging way about you in the narration. Good job brother.
It looks great! Can't wait to see the railing system you chose.
It’s won’t disappoint :)

Hello BYOT. What type of bit holder are you using? I like the way it recesses the screws the same every time. Thx I’m as a Che.
The lines are dead straight. Great video man! Great work as well!
I found this video very helpful. I am curious, however, what railing system did you work with. My deck is set up like this as well where there are posts for rails. How did you go about installing rails on this deck?
I might have seen all your videos, but in the ones I have you always use screws to attach deck boards. Why not the invisible clips?
Have you had a lot of expansion and contraction with the Timbertech. Di you make butt joints tight or gapped? Edit: I now see you used spacers at the ends. But in cooler weather don’t they open up a lot more (or maybe there aren’t extreme temp differences where u are).

Amazing transformation is right! Makes me feel like maybe I have what it takes to tackle this scope of project someday. Maybe. 😆
Excellent video Sir, May I ask , what type of drill driver did you use to drive in the screws, TY
What a beautiful job, thank you for sharing!
Curious why you use the screws over hidden clips? Your spacing looks large also, what that a customer request? 1/4 inch? Nice job.
If choosing composite boards for a roof-shaded (but open to wind and rain) wraparound porch in the South (NC) would you recommend tongue and groove or edge grooved/spaced boards? Our porch does get wet with a hard rain and I'm concerned about drainage, though I think tongue and groove would look nicer.
How stable are those Cortex Plugs? I would be worried that as the deck ages, they would pop out. Am I mistaken?
Are you screwing into board under or steel or treated would to prevent rotting .
Great work, really impressed
Where would I get timber tech deck screws plug-in Toronto
Love the "Old battery hammer" ...guilty your Honor lol.
Hardware question: wouldn’t it be better to use framing nails when building a deck? Would it hold up better than standard (straight) galvanized nails?
Im looking at this composite deck for my home but I thought I’d was install differently. No screws on the tops boards…? Is that not correct?
Amazing work, and looks great 👍
This looks amazing man.
Looks incredible! Looking forward to the rails. Cables?
I’m amazed they didn’t want a waterproofing system, considering there’s a sitting area below?
can you tell me about the bit that was on your drill?
Very nice and neat looking
LOL, imagine having a deck where you can almost walk into that other house, geez those houses are right on top of each other. awesome work though!!!
What blade did you use on your miter saw?
Typically, I have experiences issues with the mitred picture frame corners in terms of expansion and contraction changing the uniformity of the gap over time. Is that also an issue with this product?
Where do you get the plugs? We need dark teak.
I was waiting for part 2! Nice! Love this episode! As always, keep up the great work ~ esteban
It looks like the facia screws are not flush
Where's the link to that cool clamp you use?
i guess no one is going to respond to this?
Nice work
You have a sliding miter saw, so slide, don't plunge cut.
Nice job!
Great content 😺

Where can I purchase this?
I think Timbertech recommends pre-drilling before installing face screws.....
I think they’re self drilling screws.

Would face screws not prevent the board from expansion and shrinkage of the boards?
Thanks
It look great
Miriam Makeba? I'll subscribe just for that use.
awesome
Pre drill the holes!
Did a 66 foot deck with hidden "trex system" screws.
Looks amazing, but holy shit.... 🤣🤣
Yep it is quite a bit of work no matter how you look at it haha!
Amazing
What were you thinking drilling holes and putting screws in this deck shouldn’t ever see an6 screws with this deck system
buddy have you ever seen a timbertech deck before?
Lovely
Nice ❤
Классно , много полезного 👍
Great
Good
me gustaba como era antes estaba protegido
Isn't it easier to install all your deck than cut the center for a straight cut.
Like the idea
Why is there no railing on that deck?
Watch till the end
Oh my word, the fascia board install is so bad. Can you imagine looking all those fasteners sticking out!! There are a lot more elegant solutions to it.
What are they im about to do mine lol. I ordered top loc painted ones with the special top loc bit.

👏👍💪🔥
Thanks so much for watching Alain.
why get rid of the overhang?? that was dumb
👏🏻👏🏻❤️🤗🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
It would drive me crazy not to have all the screws in a straight line. You have the screws going all over the place.
Топ
Great work as always. Not sure if anyone else feels the same but I dislike seeing the finished product before watching the whole video.
first again! I win!
Lol
@@lechatbotte. don't be jealous

WTF😂😂😂The before looked better🤣🤣🤣
Not a great finish. Corner joints have big gap, fascia had a major dip across 3' highly visible vs the remaining fascia. A few things but important.

You used way too many screws in some areas and also you have the fascia sticking out past the decking in area.

those fascia board screws look like shit.. isn't there better way to do this????? Completely ruined the look.
You cover a lot but talk too quickly for all people to follow what your doing and why! Jump Formosa one thing to the next without time to digest the last factor. Last weeks video?
Do you know that you can add closed captions to the video as you play it?
Man, using that table saw without a push tool with your hand between the fence and blade ... not a good practice.
