Ground Level Deck Re-Build

This video covers the destruction and removal of a deck that was a little over an 11 years old and the construction of a new one. I’ll tell you some things you should do and some things you should not do in regards to the construction and maintenance of your new deck. This video will be a simple guide to help you better understand how to build a deck for yourself. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos posted on this channel and commenting when you feel compelled to. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this video with a friend or family member that may find it useful or entertaining. Please also feel free to reach me on Instagram Curtis_Made_It and I’ll be glad to help with your build if I am able to.

Joists spaced 16” apart
First, a 2x6 actually measures 1.5” x 5.5”. This means that if the center points of both of your joists are 16” apart, the space in between the joists should be 14.5”. Let me know if I can further clear this up for you.
