How To Build A Deck // DIY Home Improvement

Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds youtube.com/post/Ugkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7… . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.

I found the chapters in youtube.com/post/UgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpG… to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.

My father built two decks around our house one summer when I was kid. This really makes me appreciate what he did. Because he made it seem like it was just another day in the park.

One thing you did wrong. I didn't see a beer throughout the entire video. You can't build an outdoor structure, without the presence of a frosty beverage.

You know it's late when you're watching ''how to build a deck'' when you dont even own a house!

I’ve seen a lot of bull shit decks that are easily done, lazy craftsmanship. Though this video is a little on the advanced side. This is a legit deck. It really doesn’t get much better than this. It was brilliantly laid out. No chatter. No dumb music. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve watched over 30 videos tonight and this is the one.

One of the most straight forward, comprehensive videos I’ve seen explaining each step…and I’ve built decks before. Very well done without making the video unnecessarily long like others.

I started my deck about 2 weeks ago following this video and oh my god I feel like superman! Super easy to follow and while it will take some time (5 foot woman with not much for strength) for me to finish, I'm very excited! I've gotten more help with the sections I don't feel comfortable doing and I'm having someone build the stairs for me since I don't even want to attempt that and mess up what I've done. This is tiring work but has been worth it already. THANK YOU!!! Anybody that thinks you can't do this, you're more than wrong! You can! And you will! So satisfying!

This DIY home improvement video on deck building was fantastic. It not only saved me a ton of money on labor but also gave me the confidence to take on more DIY projects. Highly recommended!

Man i swear , i did framing with my step father for 3 years and hated every day of it , but could never figure out why. Then i watch this man's videos and realise that everything we did was the hard way not the smart way.

Larry Haun taught me what my father never did. This guy is to the point, practical, step by step, and even puts in some humor and humility. A teacher of teachers while being single handedly a mentor to hundreds of thousands that will never get to meet him in person to shake his hand or give him a hug. Shout out to this channel for keeping it all flowing. I thank you one and all who keep this content posted.

Tip for those building a deck.. Increase the beam size using a free beam calculator like forte, increases the distance it can span unsupported.. Then you don't have to dig as many footings. Cost is usually a wash. Great video!

As a self-made handyperson, this was the best and most helpful deck video yet. The key points that you touched on pretty much answered all of the detail I have been struggling with ie ending with a full deck board

Those footings are massive! As a deck builder Its rare to find a customer who is comfortable with the extra cost. Im glad to see you put in the extra effort and didnt shy away from a difficult task! Keep up the good work!

Late to the party but wanted to let you know you are a great teacher! I appreciate your eye for detail and the craftsmanship of your work!!

This is the best video I've seen on the basics of this project. Will be watching it about 20 more times before we start ours this spring! Thanks so much!

I’m 23 I’ve been building decks for about a year now and it’s honestly the one thing that makes me feel like I accomplish things in life. Wish I would’ve chose trade school before I racked up $30k in student loans but I live and learn. Hope more young people get into trades.

Beautifully done and very well thought out! Thanks for sharing your knowledge... I only wish when I build our deck next spring I do half as good a job! Thanks again!

Great job and very well thought out, using this as the basis for my deck! Thanks for the help

Thank you for not adding obnoxious music to your montage. It makes it so much more enjoyable to watch.
