I liked this, but then I realized it would have gone from 69 to 70, so I left it alone.

The picture frame finish with the cutout for the bench looks so incredibly neat. Well done and appreciate the information.

What a big deck, the Mrs has wanted my deck extended for some time. For some reason she gets verry excited by the sight of a big deck.

Men, watching your videos with no sound and with the auto subtitles on is priceless, specialy when you are doing "Decks".. LOL

Thanks for uploading !!! You making my so far boring home-university-day way better right now. Keep it up 👍🏻

Love the vids Scott keep them coming mate. I am an apprentice and watching your videos really help

you are a terrific builder scott. my respect to you mate. great content as usual

Thank you very much for these precious tips. they are relatively simple tips but they make a big difference in the finish and often due to the hurry we don't stop long to think about new ways to do something better and faster, and your videos always show us different and very purposeful forms. you'r the man! 😊 God bless you!

loved the advise. never thought about small head screws... what master craftsman thinks about when making something for others, your pride in the craft is outstanding! thx

Thanks for Deck tips as I am just doing a deck just now. Have done them before but can still learn even for a retired builder. Thanks and stay safe.

Great advice was reassuring as I already do alot of those things but good to get another angle at it. Using the wedges was shown to me by one of my Filipino workers. So good!

perfect timing, gonna build me one next week! Great tips Scott, thanks, especially rounding of the edges and the bleeding of the wood! I am going to use hardwood by the way.

Love your videos (and you do them well). As an amateur you've added a lot to my skill-set just watching how a competent pro does it. Thanks, please keep posting.

building 3-4 decks in the upcoming weeks. great tips. keep the videos coming brother.

I liked the tip of the round over on the end grain. I actually bought myself the Makita 18v router due to watching how many places you made good use of it here on your channel. The fact that it is battery operated and so much smaller than a typical router, I've come to use it on nearly every installation and my products are better for it! Thanks Scott!

Lol'd at the "I hope this didn't come too late!" at the end.

Thanks heaps SBC! I’m building a deck right now in wanaka and these tips are going to make it so so much better. Great work man. ❤️

Such a great presentation. Awesome - when I eventually get around to a garden deck, here's where I'll gen up on.

Hey Scott I am a painter in Sydney and I have found that staining the timber prolongs the life instead of putting a clear. It’s like putting on a clear jumper to stop getting sunburnt instead of putting on a coloured one. Love the channel mate.

Awesome tips. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

In Ireland plastic decking has become very common now. It can look surprisingly good and lasts and looks good for a very long time. great in wet country's like Ireland.

I have 120 square metres of decking to build Scott. This couldn't have come at a better time! Love the tip to use the router on the end of each board, that looks VERY professional. Great video, thanks

Always great advice mate. Appreciate you sharing!

Congrats on getting a few sponsors! Keep up the great work, not a tradesman myself just an DIYer but your videos are awesome.

You have some great tips! Thank you!

Great timing for this video. Summer time=deck building time! WOO

I would love to hear more about backdoor decking from you. Very useful information

So what’s the diff in pronunciation between the in kiwi?

Here in Aussie we always install a Protectadeck uPvc strip on top of the joists. It helps seal around the screw and deflects rain off the joists mitigating long term rot. Should be available at Bunnings in NZ.

Thanks for the tips bro!! Hope you’re well brother stay safe and God bless

3:54 that dad lecture is what life is about. The Golden ******* advice. lol

I love your videos. Converting a van for the first time in my life, and I have everything to learn.

I'm preparing to build a deck soon and these are helpful tips! Love your channel too!!

Just watched this laughing at my dad extending their deck around their new "jacuzzi". There is definitely steps he could follow. Like the small piece of wood for screw placements and the tip for rounding the cut edges! Good video

Very good tips! I always does all your suggestions. One more step I do is: marking the screw line with a black chalk line on the joist before laying the “straight rows of decking”. It is fast and no more guessing.

Very useful doing mine today

Gotta love that hardwood decking

Love your work brother, very helpful

Never heard the word Dick in my life so much

Great content. Always enjoy your videos

Helping my buddy deck tomorrow, great timing

Love it.. subtitles is even more hilarious. On a serious note, do you use the Spax countersink bit for those perfect countersinks?

"People don't consider whats underneath their deck", I keep pointing that out to my wife.

Another exciting episode for sure. But your accent on "deck" and references to "screw" and "screwing quick," "sticking up," "getting it all straight," "having a hardwood deck'" and finally "rub those suckers out" were just funny. I won't even go into the black marks on your palm.

Great tips as always Many thanks

You should setup a chalk line with corn flour or baby powder! Can ping lines and they rub off with a broom easily!

still loving your videos man, i wish more carpenters and tradies had such passion for quality that you have in australia! its hard to find people that want to do a nice job.

Congrats on your first sponsor! Well deserved

Thanks Scotty! I’m definitely using your router tip from now on 👍🏽

Great vid. Best tips for decks vid I've seen.

You’re a crazy smart dude . I love it 👏

I helped build a few decks as a hammerhand and I found this video very-very useful and interesting

router the ends! what a brilliant tip and another great video :) Good to meet you at Carbatec the other day too.

Thanks that was enlightening i like your tip for installing boards quickly and using a router on the cut ends

I've binge watched many of your videos. Have enjoyed them and the care put into your craft down there in NZ. On the other hand there was just something about the way your e's in the word deck, were lighter than the harsher sounds up here in CA. The e's sounded like i's and it was amazing how all of your advice still seemed amusingly valid. And yes, as the individual before me said, trimming the bush around your deck will make it look bigger

Yes more videos like this.. decks and what not.. informative and awesome love it..

One video I watched recommends lavender chalk line for screw lines. It’s the easiest to wash/rub away if chalk colors.

thnak you so much for sharing your know-how!

Preparing to build my first deck, at my own place. Enjoying your videos Scott. Thanks for taking the time to film/edit and post. I'm a house painter so maintenance is easily done, it's just installation I'm researching as much as possible. I'm thinking of going spotted gum, and want the picture framing, also a deck path going off the deck. Located Australia NSW Cheers.

Good information Scott thank you. I love your seating on the post`s a really nice feature. Do you have a video showing the construction?.

Excellent thanks from 🇬🇧

Another informative & interesting video SBC😎

Thanks mate

NICE VÍDEO DUDE! HELP A LOT!

Love this channel! First class always. In the US it seems everyone has gone to composite decking. High end homes may go hardwood. But you don't see it too much anymore unless the homeowner has plenty of money to pay someone to maintain it.

Scott Brown Carpentry I will say that we house sat for a colleague in Melbourne over Christmas/ New Year and they had a composite deck. Man did that sucker heat up. It was fairly unbearable to walk on with bare feet. Something else to consider

I am planning to build a deck in a few weeks and this was so helpful! honestly. i have soaked up so many youtube videos over the past few weeks but this...this was something else. you are so amazing and calm in explaining everything. appreciate it! 2 questions for you. 1. should i put a washer between the 2 beams if i am going to screw them together, (like double layer it) or not put a washer..because i am worried moisture might build up. 2. Does gravel beneath a deck help prevent moisture buildup? Thanks! All way from toronto Canada.

nice tips. good job

Thanks!

More videos about it Scott. Thank you

I love building decks, so rewarding.

Hi Scott you create some amazing hardwood decks with excellent detailing. I have noticed man made decking boards are becoming increasingly popular here probably in no small part due to weather we get in the west of Scotland, it’s safe to say we rarely if ever have to worry about hosepipe bans due to a lack of rain!

I'm getting a deck built soon thanks for the tips

excellent episode!

Great video Scott

Perfect timing, building a deck next week!

People making fun of your accent. What a bunch of decks. Excellent job, very entertaining. Keep it up!

Thanks Scott, I start my deck in T-minus 10 hours. Great timing!

Was useful Scott 👌

yep something drummed into me always hide end grain looks professional

Top tip on the wedges, i'm nicking that, greetings from Lithuania.

From now on I will always keep a rubber handy when doing some decking

The back rubber edge of a fat max Stanley tape measure can also be used as an eraser

I remember seeing a deck screw jig I think from Kreg. Not used it but it looks like it makes a perfect depth and consistent spacing. Good for sloppy screwing Deck Crew. Thanks for the Post 👍

Tip 6 good one .
