How To Build a Deck Part 5: Stairs & Railings - The Home Depot

[MonkeySpecs301]

That lower deck seems unfinished, it should wrap around the larger deck more so the underside of the main deck isn't visible. Nonetheless, great vid.

[grandmastermicochero]

i was surprised that carriage bolts weren't used to attach the railing,, id be afraid if someone leaned against the rail with only nails supporting it,,

[humanvegetable]

I've learned that I should probably just buy the book.

[MrGONZHORA]

You should never "NOTCH" the 4X4 used as hand rail post as it will be weaker there for defeat the purpose of having a 4x4. In stead it should be installed either flush mount on the exterior or embedded by the decking boards inside the headers.... just a thought ....

@MrGONZHORA i notice it too, askthebuilder point this out too on one of his videos

[lemonfilms214]

HOME DEPOT CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS!!! ITS THE WORST!

@honorstudent93

That definitely has lots to do with how to build a deck. Great job.

Will you be posting a video showing how to protect the wood against the elements?

[TheBallgame29er]

Sorry guys, but that is some sloppy work. You get what you pay for!

[HENJAM48]

They never mentioned treatment levels. That lower deck is a little too close to the ground for my liking if the wood is what I think it is. I'd be worried about rot.

[shgjlsfg]

that is a beautiful looking deck. really adds to the house, thanks home depot

[canoelicker]

... this is a cheap and flimsy deck built with nails only? Not surprising coming from HD.

[jimlap777]

"Hope you've learned something". Of course, how to build flimsy rails that wouldn't pass code in any serious jurisdiction...

[richiehsi7]

low quality deck just like most material that is sold in home depot GO TO LUMBER YARD if you can find one still

[burm77]

I'm with @rochesterGT

[hockeycaker]

if you dont know how to do the work it'd be impossible to watch this and think you could go build something like that lol...way too fast

[maciverjohn]

Hope owners have good insurance man, railings will fall apart, wouldn't last a gael west of Scotland No No No.. Nice House!!

[gladheateher4now]

God ferbid.i ALWAYS protect my deck!!!!!

[bucktheusa]

How's that dip in your lip?

Don't see many chewing tobacco hosts...

Unless it's rodeo or something from Texas...

[2007omi]

How should I fix my deck? Watch My Money Pit, parts 1-3.

[onuroner2]

those posts should have been lagged...amateurs

[swivelgate]

4x4 deck post should have been bolted not just nails also , just nailing spindles they tend to twist if not screwed but other then that very nice deck

[n3qdz]

What..they looking to flip the house? I don't build decks for a living but man home depot, that sux! Nailed railing posts for starters. What ever happen to hiding the screws. Modern building nobody uses stair skirts anymore at least good builders, for one reason they can sheer off and nailing them off like they did will never hold after 6 months, bouncy stairs. Incorrect fastners to hold the joist hangers too. Man what a joke.

[sickayda]

Boycott the home depot for fired man that wore a button that read "In God we trust!"

Thanks Fox News for letting us know!

[RochesterGT]

You never covered deck flashing that you said you'd cover in a later step...?

[wangbungal]

@RochesterGT yeah i was looking for that part, over and over could not find it, then i saw your comment lol

[CentenaryLandscaping]

Very Nicely Done.

Great to see the amount of how-to guides coming on to youtube, and with tips for the home-maker to enable them to 'see' the job in action before attempting it themselves.

Thumbs Up!

[gatocrib]

if you are going to biuld the rigth or no what the f your doing go for it.the deck in my was buid by the previous home owners did a shitty job.the lr hand reil post was buried like 2 inches in the ground .and theres no cement footing.the best part was we only 1 to sell house because we want a smaller house,and they went and baught a bigger house .c.s.did not tell us about how the naigbor like to be in everybodys bussiness.how I know cordless interfarance talk smack to bi*** acros the st.

[jc10003]

Man, all those nice extra touches with the router and then you're going to nail the rail posts? You better go back and put two lag bolts in each post dude or you just ripped that homeowner off big-time! Those rails will be wobbling in no time with nails!

[Skidoes]

how much did this deck cost to build?

[BLEADINGGREEN]

those railings might be a bit flimsy if theyre just nailed in without bolts right?

[DJMIKEOLIVE]

hahaha i love the beach boys

[cquetglas]

Great info

[jessestylex]

lazy home owners should have done it them self. never hire anyone! it cost to much.

[wendy2212]

Unless of course you make more money than the people you are hiring...

If I make 50$ an hour whats wrong with hiring somebody at 20-30$ an hour to do work for me?

[tritty84]

the wood looks so soft the screws go through like butter

[RikaKazak]
