How to Build a wood deck & install pavers, porcelain or stone tile over any deck
What happens here
The video introduces the project, which is to convert an existing wood deck into a stone deck using the StoneDeks Silca System. The existing wood deck frame is shown, featuring joists typically spaced 12 inches on center. The presenter emphasizes the importance of a perfectly level and stable deck frame as the foundation for the stone pavers. Without proper leveling, the pavers will rock, which can lead to cracking and safety hazards.
Goal: Understand the project and assess the existing deck frame for stability and levelness.
