I built a decking with the brother in law last week. 3 days later I am still recovering, deceptively hard work! I found oiling it was like breathing life into the deck, made it look beautiful! Enjoyed the video thanks!

Jeff we appreciate all that you do. Whatever I want to learn about or do. I’m watching you 😊. Thank you!

I like the sloped slab. Good for water control. Thanks for the tips on leveling the hardwood structure!

I love the ability to swivel those supports. Really ingenious system!

great for problem solving. they also have a fixed pedestal for more economical situations.

I love y'alls channel, and as a new home owner, invaluable.

Hi Jeff, First of all, thanks for all the videos you create. Some of them were extremely useful in a remodeling project we just finished - not DIY, but being rather handy with projects, I'm a very involved client - especially the one in which you featured Trademark Soundproofing's products, since my new office needed to be soundproof. I'm in the midst of laying deck tiles (this part and a few others I'm doing myself) on my rooftop and one lesson I learned from my neighbor was to label each pedestal. They had their roof redone and the roofer put the pedestals back wherever he wanted, so his tiles are all wobbly, so I'm using a screwdriver to mark the pedestals with their "coordinates" (i.e. A1, A2 ... A9, B1, B2, and so on). This way, if I ever have to remove the tiles I won't have to spend a day and a half re-leveling everything. Again, thank you!

Do you have a video on how to extend your existing deck thank you by the way I love your videos real helpful

Based on your KZread videos, I am planning on installing those IPE Tiles around my In-Ground Pool. Do the Pedestals require to be secured/fastened to ground/cement/etc.(?) or is the weight of the Deck Tiles sufficient? Would there be any possible movement?

Love your content. Thank you for passing on your knowledge. I wonder if some dude it 2080 will be watching this video and goes through the comments and is all, “woah... trippy.” Greetings from 2021!

Thanks For giving me the confidence to DIY. Just got off the phone with Mat from advantage and I’m ready to make my purchase thank you Jeff

Love this system! Love your videos!

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I have a similar concrete surface deck. I was thinking to re-level the surface by adding a concrete layer before installing the deck tile. I wonder which way is easier.

Did have to add one thing Jeff (from my comment to a post). Spent 5 mins trying to figure where got the measurement, of 5 1/8; as I had diff answer & thought I was going crazy....so glad, I’m just still a tad bit crazy 🤪👍🏻 That deck system, is a nifty cool system. Pretty awesome pedestal, especially being adjustable in multiple directions/heights.... Cheers ✌🏻

Man you would have HATED the previous owner of our house. I’m currently demolishing a “deck” they put over the concrete slab patio. They used marina floating decks and laid them right over top. Half on the slab and half right on the ground. I wish I could email you pictures. It’s beyond hilarious. Thanks to you I’m able to take it apart while my husband is at work. The slab itself is an improvement. 😂😂😂

Congrats on the videos

If you needed to, would you be able to lift up one of these panels in the middle of the deck to clean underneath it? Like if it was used on a roof and there were leaves. I also can't wrap my head around how you did the corners using the plugs and stands.

Hello from a 62-year-old DIY'er. This project is right up my alley! I checked out the Advantage Lumber website but they have a gazillion products. Any chance you can be more specific with the decking material? Thanks!

Hello I'm a new follower and subscriber. Very interesting wood patio setup. I also have multiple weird uneven slabs for a patio. I've been wanting to find someone to remove the multiple slabs an pour one but this gives me another option. Thanks. I also want to build a two patio covers in our backyard. One open an one closed and a raised roof deck over one of the two future patios off of my one story house. Not sure if I need to remove slabs or cut holes into the cracked unevem slabs for the patios/roof deck posts or can I just bracket them down? I'm guessing its better to cement the posts in thru the existing slabs then build. If i was to become a member of your diy team, is it possible to consult with you on my options? Thanks I'm advance from S. TX.

Seems like it’s probably not a concern, but do you need to worry about water getting under the deck and settling on the slab? I don’t worry about it with the slab open, but with no sun and limited airflow getting to it, is there something that needs to be done to prevent mold or other issues?

Are you using the 20x20 or the 24x24 in this project?

@Home RenoVision DIY - Hey Jeff - I have a question. Can we do this same thing if the patio is raised? I live in a house that was built in the early 1960s by my Grandparents. They added a patio on the back of the house that is about 18 in off ground level. The "slab" is about 8 in thick and seems to only be supported around the outside by concrete blocks underneath. We cannot see any further under to see if there is support in the middle. We would like to add a larger deck because this has crazy measurements (it's like a bowling alley). We would like to go over the cement and extend and use composite decking. Can this be done without busting out the cement slab? Also, we live in Illinois, so about the same climate as Nova Scotia. Love the channel! Thank you for any help!

I want to install a deck over my front entry sidewalk and it's adjacent dirt "planter" areas...I'm hoping advantagelumberand the altitude pedestal system will work with me + my home terrain... I also have drainage issues. Yes, I need a pro. No, I don't have the mula; hoping I can make this come out great with extra care.

Really well done and so interesting. Thank you!

Diamond grind and self leveling concrete would be the alternative. That runs about 8 bucks a square foot in some places. Or hammer out the concrete and do a traditional post and joist patio. 18 inches is preferred minimum height on these decks to allow airflow. (according to their website}

What about hurricaines in Florida? Can I use?

How do you prevent it from sliding on the concrete after install? Did you drill holes into the concrete to secure the base ?

Can you show us what went in to repairing that concrete slab first?

Yes, also water will still pool to the foundation if the slab is not leveled properly first. Most important step #1 should have been to level the concrete by hiring professionals to prevent future basement water issues, and then only then installing the deck. Also would have been much easier on a level surface.

If/when the concrete moves, the deck will move too. You'll then have a mess on your hands. This is not a good system to place over top of a failing concrete pad.

Note to self, never buy an Evolution saw. :/. Their blades are decent but the saw itself is horrid. Anyway, with this system, is there way to utilize it with curves opposed to corners on the perimeter?

I'm just using 2 X 6 X 12 treated boards for a shed foundation and extended deck. So I wanted to just lay them directly on the cement and over the rock area beside it. On the rocks, I'm using the same treated wood to frame it so it will be level with the cement. I was wondering if there has to be any actual space between the wood and cement in case it rains, etc...I so appreciate your videos. They are my go to contractor vids!

To make anything better, there needs to be a dog on deck! I have a concrete slab off the back of my house above ground that the owners before me attached a deck to -leaving the ugly concrete slab full of problems and water issues. Finally got the water issue solved. This looks like an easy fix, more expensive than what I had in mind but easier. I assume the tile connecters can be fixed to the concrete- masonry screws? Thanks

Knee pads are your friends! 😂 It pains me to see you on that concrete without them!

Try to get in the habit of letting the blade stop before lifting it up. You could get some kickback from the cutoff moving into the spinning blade. Also, I think you need a new “chisel”.

Why not use a concrete leveling compound? Are they not rated for outdoor use?
