Contractors Hate Me For Showing You This! Build a Backyard Deck for ONLY $650
I'm going to show you how to build a basic ground level deck for about six hundred fifty dollars in wood and hardware so you can stop sitting in the dirt and start enjoying your backyard. A job like this usually costs thousands if you hire a crew, but I've been doing this for over forty years and I'm going to show you how to get it done yourself in just a few hours. We're going to cover: How to prep your ground and use geotextile cloth so weeds don't take over your structure. Why two by eights are the secret to a comfortable step height and a solid frame. The right way to crown your boards so your deck stays flat instead of turning into a series of dips and valleys. How to level the whole thing using simple wood blocks to transfer the weight straight to the ground. Why you should always pick brown screws over green ones if you want your deck to look good next year. You'll learn the basic rules for spacing your joists at sixteen inches and how to drive screws without splitting the ends of your boards so your work lasts for twenty years without needing a contractor to come fix it.
