Anyone watching this in 2024 should be made aware that toenailing connections is no longer acceptable with most state building codes afaik. There are metal hangers you can get to attach the stair stringers to the deck/landing.

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Seeing this has given me the confidence to attempt it for myself. Thank you!

I build my porch by watching this video. Thank you for posting.

Nice! 71 YO Nanny (retired NC GC) here back in NC building my final home (HOPE) after Hurricane Ian ruined my house in FL. Love your little deck ideas. TYVM. I have your same Hitachi saw. I love mine and I've put a lot of miles on it. Out of $$ and going to build my own finishing touches to get my final CO. Thanks for the inspiration! I love your channel.😍

This was an awesome tutorial! The most straightforward deck building video I’ve come across

you just saved my life lol. very straight forward and to the point. thank you sir

This was the ABSOLUTE BEST video period! Hope to see you demonstrate an 8x8 deck soon!

WOW!!! I can do this myself!!! Thinking I can maybe not cut down the posts but leave them reinforced with top railing, and add some beautiful hook planters to the outsides of them for hanging flowering plants. Done right, could be gorgeous. Since we like to leave the door open with the screen locked, a really nice lattice of some kind would be awesome. In school 50 years ago girls couldn't take auto repair shop or carpentry/woodworking classes. We had to take cooking and dressmaking/sewing classes. That was THEN. This is NOW. And now my husband cooks gourmet dinners, I fly medical emergency helicopters, (yes, still!), he plays designer and I play deckbuilder!!!. Never know where life can lead!! To the best tutorial yet!! Thanks Home Depot!!! AWESOME!!!! TEACHER. THANKS!!!

A true Craftsman! I am OCD about fit and finish…..these PRO techniques are valuable and priceless. Thanks for sharing.

I have to build the exact same thing tomorrow. Man this was super helpful! Great tutorial. Thanks

You make everything look so easy...that's proof you know what you're doing. I noticed you have over 20,000 subs! Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. Great communicator.

Finally, a nice, clean professional job. Thanks for sharing

This was the perfect video for what I’m doing. Thank you so much 🙏

That was bad ass precision construction with nice old school tips. Really cool. Thank you.

I need to replace the tiny porch and stairs on the trailer I just bought because they are falling apart! I've already watched several videos but this one is exactly what I'm wanting/needing to build, plus it's explained and demonstrated well enough for me to follow along. Not to mention the fact that I don't feel the need to run out and purchase a ton of special tools. I can literally use the few basics that I already have. This is gonna save me a serious headache and tons of time and money. I'm super excited to build my new stairs and porch now and I'm not feeling intimidated by the project anymore. I've already watched it a couple of times and made my parts list. Wish me luck! Thanks for posting this video.

Thank you and good luck on your build. Thanks for watching.

They have stair hangers that you use to attach the risers to the deck frame, works way better than just screwing them in.

Great work! I really enjoyed watching this porch build, and I learned a lot. Thank you

Excellent! I believe I can follow your directions! And I am 70. Beats the rickety steps I have there now

You did a great job of explaining everything. Well done video. Thank you.

It's really good you point out that this is not attached to the building. You never want floating decks attached to frost-protected structure.

Great instructions, I'm no carpenter , but I was able to follow your instructions, and it came out great.

So grateful for this amazing video that was so detailed. We just finished our build! Safe stairs👍

Very nice. Until I watched this video, I had been debating with myself how to go about doing something very similar in my back door entrance, where the previous owner had the brilliant idea of pouring concrete against the back entrance, in a wooden sided home. And if that was not enough, the concrete he poured is horrible. He used huge stones available at the yard do pour the concrete over. The thing is horrible, out of shape, not square or leveled. This was a very good video. Very educational. I didn't even know concrete post blocks. Glad I caught this video. Thank you.

Great video tutorial, exactly what I was looking for to do on my back door of mobile home. Thanks for posting this

I like what you did there, it was simple and too the point. Not as difficult as many make it out to be. Nice job!!

Great video and concept. I need a temporary portable porch and steps and this is perfect. I will use it for a portable shooting stand after I finish using it for temporary purposes.

You make this look so easy. I need to replace my steps at my front door because of termites. Your video will be my model! I hope I can do this justice lol.

thank you so much for the instruction. Really easy to follow and well produced. Keep Em comin'!

Nice but i would have used lag bolts to secure that bottom post to the block. Also you need metal ties for those stringers! Toenails are not good enough. Also i like joist hangers for the deck supports.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank You!

Wonderful! I can't wait for summer to come so I can get this built.

Really great video. I’ve followed it step by step using the sizes I need for my project. Had some trouble with the angle on the hand rail but I did the best I could. I also used a circular saw on the posts instead of a sawzall. I wasn’t good at using the sawzall free hand.

Great Great tutorial esp for a dude like myself that is having this type of project coming up this season . the specs are pretty much close to this one, also the breakdown is same a jack hammer for steps. Thank You for the tips esp those shortcuts for ripping the 2x4 as well and more importantly for me the levelong of the square deck platfrom shimmyimg each side and securing/resecuring the sides up lil by lil as u go cool i like that its right in my whellhouse. awesome ty

id put the bannister posts on the outside of the stringers and keep the stairway clear, less chance of kicking/tripping into them when yr carrying tall loads. Rare to see stairs with posts on the inside. Also consider leaving the porch posts tall and putting a roof on it to keep the weather out of the doorway. Use an antifungal sealer on the cuts. Love the look of the wood on the finish. thanks.

This was very helpful!!

I think I got everything. These prices are based on pressure treated wood at my local Lowes store. Let me know if I missed something or if my count is off. I also plan on using hangers instead of toenailing.

Danggg stuff adds up so quick. I was guessing like 150 lol. I’m doing something like this for a 5th wheel trailer so it’s going to be smaller so hopefully a little cheaper.

I think im building a similar style front deck, although mine will be a tad bigger and probably twice as high up. Im gunna need some extra supports on the posts, plus I’ll probably use joist hangers to strengthen everything up. I definitely like the simplicity and will use some of these hints. Im planning to build some fencing this summer too, so ill buy extra material and build this as well. Cant wait till this winter is finished

Thank you! I will do this soon.

Nice Job! Thanks for sharing.

Great video!

very good tutorial … even i feel like i might get’er done

For a Hand Rail on my deck, I took a piece of, Sized to a standard Stair Railing, PVC Conduit. Put a spring inside it and heated it with a heatgun and bent each end down. I made flat spots in the under side of the PVC, by heating it and pressing down with a Two X. I installed railing brackets to the flat spots, and installed the PVC Railing to the deck. I capped both ends, and drilled a 1/8” hole in the underside of the lower cap, for a weep hole. If you don’t have a heat gun you can use a Propane Torch. The trick is to use the side of the flame, and by not touching the PVC with the Flame, heat the PVC.

Great video man thank you!

Hell yeah Gonna build one for property /RV

GOOD JOB 👍 🦸‍♂️

Awsome build. I’d like to see you open the door though!

I need to build something similar and soon, but I also need it to have a two level ramp that kinda angles around. And steps going both left and right out the door. My project is going to be a wee bit more complicated but be built with the same wood and design choices as seen in this video.

I live in a old bungalow with a side entrance over the driveway. The previous porch/steps were too narrow to move an appliance on a dolly through the door and straight down the stairs. Access upstairs is impossible for unrelated reasons. I need to replace the porch with something large enough to allow a turn without building the steps across the driveway. I like your plan and I might have the stairs run out both sides as long as I can move a fridge inside. The front entrance can provide access to the main floor and anyway, you don't move appliances every day (I haven't since 1973).
