Who Built It Better? Find Out on At Home with Family Handyman

Who Built It Better? This month, At Home with Family Handyman is ready to answer that question with a fun new competition series where DIYers go head-to-head to show off their DIY skills. Who Built It Better? premiers Saturday, September 7, at 8 p.m. ET, with fresh episodes streaming weekly, completely free, and exclusively on At Home with Family Handyman.

In Who Built It Better?, we dive into the world of DIY home projects, where two builders take on the same project but with their own unique approaches. Whether it’s crafting a custom bookshelf, building a backyard deck, or creating a stylish piece of furniture, these talented builders will showcase their skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities in a head-to-head battle.

Each episode will guide viewers through a series of projects, offering expert insights and highlighting the pros and cons of each method. Contestants are judged on budget, quality, ease of build and, most importantly, the fun factor. The suspense builds as we analyze the results, comparing craftsmanship, efficiency, and overall design to determine the ultimate winner of the competition.

WHO BUILT IT BETTER

The first episode of the series is all about backyards. And the clash of creativity kicks off with an epic battle of two firepits.

In one corner, we have “From the Ground Up,” who starts from scratch—clearing the land, laying down a concrete foundation, and building a custom brick firepit, topped with stylish flat stones. It’s a labor of love with the whole family pitching in!

In the other corner, “Patio Pit Stop” takes on the ultimate time challenge: building a firepit in just 30 minutes! Using a pre-existing stone patio, matching stones, and a pre-made metal ring, he speeds through the process, proving that quick can still mean quality.

Both firepits are perfect for any backyard, but which method will reign supreme? Watch the sparks fly as these DIYers battle it out. Which one will inspire your next project? You decide!

And that’s just the beginning!

After that, you’ll see DIYers from across the country compete in building outdoor benches, garden sheds and cornhole boards. Together, it’s four projects and four showdowns that will inspire you to transform your own backyard into the family fun zone.

In the episodes that follow we’ll show you builders tackling amazing woodworking projects, bathroom makeovers, storage solutions and more.

Of course, Who Built It Better? is more than just a competition show; it’s an inspiration for DIY enthusiasts, offering valuable tips and ideas for your own home projects.
