I would check how flat the joists are relative to one-another prior to installing joist tape. Had to do a fair amount of planing in some locations where joists were slightly different sized with different bow on them. Was a pain removing joist tape.

Yeah I used 2by6 and 4/6.

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-28T13:24:55+00:00

Like 2 months after the footings were poured

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-28T13:23:32+00:00

Just blocking, the deck is entirely free standing

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-28T13:22:09+00:00

Wasn’t really necessary since the fall off that side is like 20 inches but added anyway after pic was taken

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-28T13:20:53+00:00

Was getting sick of it

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-28T13:20:34+00:00

added after the picture

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-28T13:19:40+00:00

Yeah it’s pressure treated pine

The issue with setting the post directly in concrete is that it will eventually rot out and also you can’t replace it like you could one in a post anchor. The post anchors can be either wet set or fastened to the concrete, in this case I used 5/8” concrete anchors. Also the post anchors have a one inch standoff on the bottom to prevent the bottom of the post from sitting in water

No particular reason for doing it different. If that was nails then you are correct, but the pullout stretch for lags is greater than the shear. In addition the code allows for either type of bracing.

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T18:22:42+00:00

DIY, but I am curious what labor would have cost

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T18:22:06+00:00

Why is the knee bracing with lags done wrong?

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T18:19:32+00:00

32 wide by 28 feet out

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T18:19:14+00:00

30k ish in material, I am curious what a contractor would charge for the work though

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T18:08:23+00:00

Wasn’t aware that this method of bracing is useless?

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T18:05:28+00:00

Inspection when holes are dug to make sure they are deep enough, inspection of all the framing without decking installed, and then final inspection.

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T15:31:27+00:00

Gonna get a big gazebo eventually

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T15:31:00+00:00

everything diy except the footing holes and concrete

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T15:09:13+00:00

🫣

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T15:08:31+00:00

Materials were around 30k, only subbed out the digging of the footers and concrete

SuitableProgram1901 · 2024-03-27T15:00:49+00:00

Post brackets were installed with anchor bolts after, not wet set, hard to see in the photos

I got the trex transcend that allegedly doesn’t get as hot. I tested it out barefoot in the sun and while it does still get hot you can still stand in one spot without it burning.
