From video: Your Fascia Can Waterproof Your Beams. Here's How.
Published: March 28, 2026

Video Description

Most people think fascia is just for looks. On this deck, it needs to solve three problems: covering a 16.5" beam, coupling it with an 11.5" joist, and keeping water out while making it all look consistent. Here's how we built a quad step fascia using four pieces to get it done. In this video we walk through the full process: -Why we started fascia before the deck boards -How we extended the joist to match the beam plane using Fasten Master Versa Lok screws -Waterproof membrane tape to protect the framing -Folded corners to manage expansion and contraction -The four-layer fascia stack: multi-width board, Azek 1x6, ripped stair riser, and a 3.5" cap to cover deck board end grain -Stainless steel screws with Cortex plugs for a seamless finish -Why we chose this method over a single wide PVC board Check out Regal Ideas and find a dealer near you: https://regalideas.com/products/crystalrail/ How to make folded corners: https://youtu.be/6tmzl-b8ONk ----------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us: 🛠️ https://www.instagram.com/drdecks 🪚 The Dr Decks Patreon: https://tinyurl.com/mee3nzc5 🎙️The Dr Decks Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@drdeckspodcast 💻 http://www.drdecks.com 👕Dr Decks merch: https://drdecks.bigcartel.com/ 📹 Recorded & Edited By: https://linktr.ee/calvinrussellrings ----------------------------------------------------------------- #drdecks #deckbuilding #customdecks #diy #homeimprovement #DeckInspo #DeckIdeas #CarpentryLife #OutdoorProjects #ContractorLife #DIYProjects #DeckConstruction #DeckBuilders #DeckDesign #DIYDeck #CompositeDecking #ModernDeck
