UglyDeck DIY Academy

No Experience?
No Problem.

Save thousands and DIY your deck with the help of our academy and a free coach who personally knows your project.

Half of our customers have never framed a deck before, but they successfully accomplish a full build every time using our system.

DIY Made Easy and Safe

We don’t recommend teaching yourself to build a deck by watching the outdated and conflicting videos on YouTube. Our step-by-step instructions include explanations, pictures, and companion videos.

Hosted by DIY Dave and master carpenter Pat, we apply the tips and tricks the pros use to craft a superior deck.

Whether it’s your first deck project or you are a seasoned pro, our goal is to make the process safer, easier, and faster.

The only all-in-one package you'll need

The academy and your coach are free with a deck package purchase from UglyDeck.com.

Because every deck project is unique, your free coach is available seven days a week to respond in case you get stuck.
