Home Depot Deck Building Guide For Beginners!

After 30 years of building decks, I get asked the same question constantly: "What tools do I actually need to get started?" In this video, I'm breaking down the essential tools every new deck builder should invest in first, based on three decades of real-world experience.

I'll walk you through my must-have tool list, explain why each tool is critical, and help you avoid wasting money on tools you don't actually need when starting out. From the #1 tool I recommend (rear handle saw) to the hand tools you'll use every day, this is your complete guide to building a professional deck building toolkit.
