How To Renovate Your Homes Exterior Part 6: Framing the Front Deck

  • During this episode of how to renovate your homes exterior, I had to tackle framing the front deck. In order to go any further with the LP Smartside I need the framing on the front deck to be installed so I could flash it properly. This is the part of the project I definitely never planned on tackling, but in the end, I am glad I did.

    About to wrap up this project, but had to tackle this porch framing first to continue....anyone else go the simplistic route sometimes when framing...like just laying it out and figuring it out as you go? Math never lies, but this was a just a simple one to run with

    • @billmiller7138
      @billmiller7138 4 года назад +8

      I think the newest code calls for flashing between the ledger and the house framing? At least where I am.

      @hammertime7349 4 года назад +2

      Bill Miller that’s how it is bye us. The theory is if moisture gets behind the ledger board (the treated board on the house) it could rot out. But the way he does things it’s pretty much bullet proof.

    • @billmiller7138
      @billmiller7138 4 года назад +2

      Hammer Time I do both, so it passes code and doesn’t rot. I like the flashing over the top, don’t like to fail inspection.

    • @hammertime7349
      @hammertime7349 4 года назад +3

      Bill Miller it is the best way to do it. I like ice and water behind the ledger then metal flashing on top of the ledger but everyone does it differently.

    Kyle, those 2x12s that are lag bolted to the 4x4s, dont thet need a 2x4 on the bottom of the 2x12 to aid in vertical load support? Alot of decks collapse or fail because too much load is placed on those lag bolts. A 2x4 or a notched post supporting the underside of that 2x12 will nvr fail due to the strength of vertical load on the wood fibers. If that makes sense.

    • @are6mr2
      @are6mr2 4 года назад

      It's not the bolts that fail it's that the wood splits and fails around the bolts because of the holes.

    • @hinglemccringleberry8805
      @hinglemccringleberry8805 4 года назад

      But the bolts still don't do their job. Added support under the 2x12 would help. And the bolts do shear off at a certain pressure.

    Hey Kyle, Deck spacers are a great add between ledger and house to prevent any water rotting out the ledger.

After seeing some of your other metal details, I was sure I was about to witness a custom RR metal flashing detail, I could steal for myself. :) ????

  • @Natedoc808
    @Natedoc808 2 года назад +1

    Funny how different people do things very differently. I never like toe nailing structural load bearing members, like these joists, where they experience shear force, so I would have framed the whole thing on the ground, back nailing all the joists through the rim. Then set a couple temporary pickets at the elevation desired, and a scrap 2x4 cripple on the outside corner, found my post locations, drill/set post bases, attached rim and joist to post, removed pickets.

    Hello Kyle, I am curious as to why you didn't pour the deck porch footings above grade so the bottom of the post (I know you are using Simpson stand off brackets but silt will quickly fill them in in a depression like that) is out of the ground plane? Seems another six inches would have been easy to do at the time. Just wondering. Good series. I have enjoyed it and would rate it in the top two or three you have done. Take care. Doug

  • @Garth2011
    @Garth2011 4 года назад

    Great idea to add that deck/porch but I would have run it out further to the corner of the wall. You can't have enough porch most of the time. This is the reason to have all dimensions plumb and square as you pull away from the structure, the areas that are "off" multiply the farther you go. It's very important to know that rough framing doesn't mean "close enough" defines and goes with "rough" framing. All rough framing requires just as fine a measurement, plumb and square as any finish work does if you want to build from the rough without a ton of compromises. Too many "framers" in the industry don't follow precision traits to benefit the next phase of the build. I have seen many homes built with as much as 1" or so as the "good enough" tolerances and the structures are way off.
    Likely it's a good time to let the neighbors know their dogs are barking too much so when Greg moves in, maybe they will have obedience in their blood by then. Thanks for sharing.

      Yes you would all be correct. Here in California that would also not fly. But with that being said, those were structural lags with a crazy shear strength. So I’m sure it will hold for many years, 15 minimum. Plus he isn’t finished yet so maybe he is goin to scab some 2x4 in front to share the load.

    Landscape fabric and rock under deck and on former sidewalk area??? prohibits future anxiety on weeds for sure growing up through deck and making your beautiful deck look awful lol. I learned from experience and a landscaper when we built our home. So glad we did this one step.

      Most decks from my own experience usually do not grow weeds and such underside, unless there is sufficient water and sun, but it never hurts to do a fabric and stone cover.

    I see one reviewer had painted their shed with plastic paint. I'm curious how that has held up. I would like to also paint mine.

    How well does that fuel powered nailer ( the one you used to nail the hangers in place ) work in the winter?

    I've never done a deck. Do you include any grade to prevent water pooling towards the house? Or slope the ground near the foundation below the deck away from the structure? Or will it have a roof over it?
