Hey, I was just curious why you didn't use Sakrete Concrete Tube on this project? This is a project I am thinking about adding on my deck so thanks for any comment.

I would always recommend doing it that way for longevity of the posts. The customer wanted to save costs as much as possible and didn't see the need for footers to grade. Best method is definitely footers to grade and simpson post brackets to set posts off the concrete. Hope you deck project works out great. Thanks for watching

Checking level from the bottom of the boards? That surprised me. Normally I would want to be sure the top is level and boards are flush to each other. That is, after-all, where the floor actually is installed.

Since you would normally frame with crowns facing up you will have a hard time checking level from the top.

So do you not have to put flashing on it between the wood and brick?

Pressure treated lumber doesn't need anything between the lumber and brick. Normally would flash on top of the ledge and that's all. At least with the porch being enclosed it really minimizes any water entry

Doesn't the concrete eat away at the posts over time? I thought the proper way of doing this was to use a sonotube and insert a mounting bolt and a bracket on top of that for holding the post so the concrete doesn't eat up the post. But I am no carpenter, so correct me if I'm wrong.

@@horstcarpentry No problem... I was watching because I am getting ready to do a very similar thing to my house.. My only question is, would it be a good idea or possible to just run the 6x6 posts all the way up as to support the roof? I'm not sure what you've done yet as I've only watched your first video.. I am a BAS controls technician/electrician by trade, I am rather weak at carpentry. Lol

@horstcarpentry

No worries. You only need the 6 x 6 to support the beam under the deck or in this case a rim beam on the end of the deck. A 4 x 4 can support the beams above which are supporting the roof. Most important thing is to remember that all loads must stack. Meaning your posts which support the roof should be on top of your 6 x 6s which support your beam. This allows the load to transfer all the way down to the footers. Thanks again

Would a concrete footer on 4 sides with 4x4 studs on the house side be over kill? I live in Florida. It's all sand no bed rock?

@horstcarpentry

Problem is that usually the soils near the house are disturbed. You would have to dig down until you hit undisturbed soil, possibly to the bottom of the footers of the basement (5ft deep?). That's usually the hardest part of using an inside beam. Soils around here are mostly red clay but some areas are more sandy.

Why didn't you cut out a slot in the 4x4 going in the ground and let it continue up to be the post for the hand rail also? It would be alot stronger that way.

If your house has a brick exterior than you would need to install an additional beam towards the house unlike what I did here. They're a bunch of different ways to "attach" to the house you really need to do some research into your local building code. Thanks for watching

If it is free standing then that is fine. I usually still attach a ledge, that isnt structural, to the house just to secure it. Everyone has their own opinion about what they like to do so mine is just one of many you will find. Thanks again

I don't think you can put the ledger board into bricks. And you didn't flash the ledger board.

You are correct that code states you cannot ledge to a brick facade. I let the homeowner know that we would need a second beam to support the house side. The footers for this beam would need to be at the house footer depth to get to virgin soil. The homeowner decided against this and said just ledge to the house.

How big was this? I'm doing one similar but free standing 20x12. Is 9 6x6 post cemented in ground sufficient ?

@horstcarpentry

2 жыл бұрын

It was 20ft x 13ft. I only used 3 on the one side, so, would think that you could use 6 and be fine. I would be most concerned about shear bracing on the posts (angled pieces towards the top of the post) since it will be free standing. You could pull up a deck guide for your local area to see how they detail it to be done because that's one way to pass code for deck posts. Hope that helps you. Thanks for watching

Also a tip I would plan for the width to be just under 20ft because the longest decking you can get is 20ft in length. Otherwise you will need to stagger you pieces and have seems in the field.

It's hard for me to gauge the labor rates down there, but, I can say the materials were around $7500 for this project. Normally alot of contractors triple the material cost, so, use that as a gauge of price. Also, alot depends on the type of finishing and different materials as well. If I did a different screening system it would've been less expensive by maybe $800 or so. There's alot to factor into the price. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Thanks for watching
