2023.06.17 19:15 InsanityWoof Deck questions (so many questions)

Long post alert, I apologize. So we bought this house in July 2019, inspection didn't note anything about the deck, but the more I research in decks the more concerned I become. The deck is going on 20 years old, it was permitted (have the plat map signed by the city with the deck layout from 2004 when the house was being built). It's 14x16, a few rotting spots on the decking, and the stairs are shakey, so I've been wanting to fully re-do the deck and expand 16 additional feet (just past the windows in Pic 3) for a total 14x32. I never realized that you're not supposed to attach to a cantilever until recently, so that freaks me out a little and kind of has me going in circles about my options. I'm an enthusiastic DIYer, and would love to tackle this project on my own (built my 12x16 gambrel roof shed 2x over (utility company tore down the one I just built in 2020, last year, so I'm finishing up the rebuild now. Pic 5) so I have the tools and basic carpentry know-how. Just need to learn some deck specific info. My questions are: 1 - Is the deck as it's built now just completely out of code (only 2 6x6 posts with triple 2x8 beam spanning 16' (toe nails only, no hardware fasteners), attached to the house cantilever) and was this ever technically per code? No clue how it passed permit unless things have changed massively in 20 years. 2 - outside of the cantilever being designed in compliance with the deck guidelines the city gave me (Pic 4, still TBD on that), is my only option to run another post/beam setup closer to the house? 2a- Is there a calculation that I could use to figure out if I could move this second post/beam setup more than 5' from the house? (house cantilever is 2', so could I have a 3.5' cantilever on the deck towards the house to not have to dig the footings deeper than the house foundation?) 3- with this new setup essentially being a free standing deck (10-12' off the ground 😳), can I still attach to the house rim joist just to prevent horizontal movement? If not, how do you secure things to prevent movement? 4 - helical piles recommended? (unless I need like 12 😳😳 I'm in KC Mo Area, frost line is 36" based on my comms with city about my shed footings) 5 - composite or traditional decking? I'm sure I'll have more questions come up, but this is mainly it for now. Appreciate everyones time and any input I can get. submitted by InsanityWoof to Decks [link] [comments]

Add a few hinges and hold-open hardware and you’ve got an inexpensive, nice-looking window. The wall studs on either side of the window or door are doubled up as with what is known as a cripple stud so that weight of the wall is well supported. Also take into consideration tools you may need for the job, because they could add up especially if you need specialized equipment. Test the fit of the plywood on frame and adjust if needed. Choose the materials that are suitable for your location and climate as well as materials that would match your existing building. ​ Use a powder actuated nailer to drive a few nails through the blocks into concrete. A Board ramp can serve purpose so that a floor in front could support the weight of machinery. Install blocks before (https://lumberengineer.blogspot.com/2019/09/garage-shed-making-drawings-4x14.html) finished fascia and nail through the subfascia and into ends of cross blocks.

A patio shed with a gambrel style roof offers the most storage space in attic. ​ Large hooks are inexpensive, take up very little space and work great for organizing large tools and hoses.

Two carpenters spent (https://www.instructables.com/id/12x16-Mini-BarnShed-With-Gambrel-Roof/) eight long days on construction. Mark angles cuts and door openings from the inside using a small drill bit. Begin with the starter strip at bottom and attach outside corners. Once beams are in place mark the spacing for trusses. If you have some carpentry skills, you could save the money on hiring a pro and craft the storage shed yourself. Larger diameter holes spread the weight out over more soil area. ​ A pair of clamped guides keep router from wandering into the shoulders of notch. Deck screws hold to soft lumber more securely and don’t bounce every time you hit a nail. It would not be as easy to attach shelves and hooks to a metal interior, and the outside may not look as aesthetically pleasing as a lumber storage shed would.

Clean up any mess and smooth fresh concrete. Keep nails 1 inch inward from the edges. Secure the board from the 2×4 to the frame and use a clamp to help hold the 2×4 brace in place. Add a few hinges and hold-open hardware and you’ve got an inexpensive, nice-looking window. Cut gable top plates to fit diagonally against ridge beam. Set flashing over the top edge of the skirt board and fasten using a few roofing nails set near top edge. Cut batten lengths to fit from bottom edge of trim piece to the bottom of the skirt board drip flashing. ​ If the site is exposed to occasional rainwater the set the timbers on 2 inches of gravel. Determine how much timber it would take to build retaining wall. Basic construction consists (https://lumberengineer.blogspot.com/2019/09/garage-shed-making-drawings-4x14.html) of setting poles in holes in the ground and anchoring the poles in place with concrete.
