House I bought had a deck at the bottom of garden, ripped it up, there was paving under it, put a shed on the paving, now it is useful space

Looks like $5k saved to me!

Yo, these don't match! Oh, he won't notice

Good, good, wait, wait, fuck your whole company
idontliketheclonebone
Dat 47° angle tho
BlairT1
It’s because it’s not a 90° bend. They did one side at 45° and then the other side creeped. Also hidden fasteners don’t allow much wiggle
AllthatisDostal2
This gave me vertigo. I'd trip on that every day...

As a semi-pro DIYer, I see nothing wrong here. It ain't posed to align up!

But there's no fixings!?
nailpounder
Oh, Hell NO! If you start square, it wouldn't get progressively worse. Work outward from the Miter

When the deck is big but still can’t make you happy
eruditic
measure once, cut twice
KaspersPrincess
Damn thats terrible to look at
ihopedforbetter
Measure twice cut once
mmontour
Measure with a ruler, mark it with chalk, cut it with an axe.
Millsslslsls
No! guess and cut! then recut... and recut 3 more times... then hide pile of wasted material.
jreno2360
Cut out 4 inches and put in a filler board as a transition.

By moving the seam you would probably have to add structure from underneath. Good idea if that’s possible.
jsnryn
Maybe like an inlay. Router 1/2” deep drop in a board sand??
Methadones
I'd be happy to have a deck,
DarPhyve
I find mine awkward and annoying.
WilliamJIII
My friend recently refurbished his and sent me unsolicited pictures of it.
derzilly
Can... Can I see? I love deck pics ^_^
thesixmilliondollarman
A small deck is better than no deck.
Acehigh8383
If you keep the bushes around it trimmed it looks bigger.
AspiringBeefCurtainInspector
I prefer medium decks, id like to see some ghosts.
HorseDeepInADragon
It’s like a bad photoshop irl
aerryl
Look at it close, it’s definitely a photoshop
HorseDeepInADragon
Yeah, you right
Quismiff
No definite line at the join either, anywhere along the 45⁰ someone's photoshop skillz not as l33t as they thought...
alusta
The lighting is way off up the top too.
BenDub556
It started out a near miss, how did it end up like this?
OlympicFail
It was only a miss, it was only a miss
UaHowl
When you assume the angle rather than planning it
derel1cte
Cheap Miter saw set at about 46.5°
rossdonohue
Looks more like there's a different spacing between boards on the left and right
BriefcaseTacos
caused by a a difference in the angle of the cut
rossdonohue
I just don't get how they would make that mistake, just lock the angle of the saw and you're good
UaHowl
Yup. If the problem gets incrementally worse to this degree, the math was off.
Audioclark
I see my brother who is "good at construction" built your deck too.
QuickPaws
What its look like if I tried to build it.
ThrownClub
Lol
CauthonsGamble
Oof.
CauthonsGamble
I feel a little attacked by this one. Are you my “handy” brother?
Josesharlo
My brother would obsess over something like this. He cannot, CANNOT build anything imperfect. It’s why he would struggle as a GC
muchLongerUsername
I worked for a refinishing contractor who was like that. We once painted, sanded, and repainted a set of cabinet doors six times.

connecticutlauren
Is this really that bad?
Schmerbie
If its trex it will buckle as soon as the summer heat hits. That shit expands like crazy and those joints are too tight
noReallyIamPrincessBob
Yes, yes it is.
noodledude89
They did one side before they realized that the other side was at a different angle. I would have had to tear it all out. Not acceptable.
bartman2014
It looks bigger because there are no hedges
Platypushat
I understood that reference
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
It is a nice deck pic.
Teratoid
It's that a euphemism for pubes?
AspiringBeefCurtainInspector
Yes
cloel
Lemme see you set up a near perfect 45 degree angle and space all those boards identically when all the joiners are prefab
sabaticalbob
If you can’t make it look good, lay it out differently. Could have run a full board on the angle and have the 45’s butt up to it.
cloel
That would have been a much better solution, I agree.
Cindex1337
Prefab means the angles are already correct though.... Lol
cloel
I said prefab joiners... Please learn to read. Also they don't sell those board cut at a 45 cos HOUSES AREN'T PERFECTLY SQUARE
StephenDaniels
They can meet at any angle and still not drift apart. I'd guess one side is 45 and the other is 47. 46 and 46 would have worked. Cont>
StephenDaniels
cont> Ideally you'd 3, 4, 5 the layout to make sure they hit square; but the house would get in the way. There's also lasers, but they cont>

noodledude89
Just do the outer rim first and square that. They just did one side and found out when they finished it was off.
cloel
I think the bigger issue is the little clips you use to join these kinda of fraud wood deck solutions. Cutting a 45 is easy. But those /
Audioclark
Brother? Is that you?
cloel
Layman... Is that you?
Audioclark
Are you sure you're not my brother? He has lame ass come backs too.
cloel
I said "layman" not "lame ass"
