Here is one way (of many) to build a ground level deck. My son and I built this in a four day period. Simple, easy, and practical!

What was the cost if u don't mind me asking
Good job! Going to be building a wood deck by myself and your guys video really helps. Thanks.
Wow no beams 16 # 32 just 4/4 16 or 17 in ? Wow 😮
Looks nice however very generic, should have staggered 2 8fters, 2 16fters, and gone length wise.
I've not seen the entire thing yet, but I hope you put in there what it ended up costing you. That's a really big deal for some people like me. I wouldn't even know how to begin to figure out the cost or the estimate if I wanted to do this. Thanks for your consideration! I hope it's in there and I just jumped the gun LOL
What did you put under all of the joists to support them?
I did something this inside of a pole barn for a floor to put some shop tools on. Part of the floor I put down a vapor barrier and . The decking is basically on the ground. Not really air circulation underneath. Although used treated material, they are rotting due to no airflow and moisture build up. (Less than 2 years ). I have to redo the all floor over . Next time Im raising the floor up some and a total vapor barrier under the entire floor.
Since I am not an expert neither a professional this look good to me.
That is so pretty
hey.. wanna do a project in my back yard?? I live in PSL too 😉
Timber swells and shrinks in heat and moisture. Without airflow or drainage boards will start twisting and pulling through the screws.
Was this advised to you or was it just a we will give it a shot type thing?
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking about doing the same in my backyard but flushed against the house.
My works too. Used wood prix handbooks and build it with no problems.
Good Job made it look easy it will always be someone saying what you should have done keep up the good work
Dude you should’ve put at least 3inches of rock down first. Built your deck at least a foot above ground for air flow and spaced the slats one eight to one sixteenth apart again for airflow
Nice build guys!
your boards were supposed to run the length way not the short way…..standard
