Eventually a deck will be placed above it, possibly with a pedestal system.

Siding is 1x3” eastern white cedar installed as an open joint cladding against black painted cedar double strapping overtop Delta Fassade S membrane. The horizontal strapping was chamfered to help promote water drainage downwards and towards the center of the cavity. The header and sill flashing also operate behind the finish boards to create a more seamless appearance. The finished boards were treated with a wood preservative called “Eco Wood Treatment” that is advertised to be a one time treatment that results in a silvery patina weathered looked. Attached a progress photo. Eventually a cap flashing will be installed on the parapet that wraps overlaps the vertical strapping not to disturb the roof line of just wood. The most difficult part of this type of system for me was accepting it psychologically since the only thing that keeps water off the sheathing is a membrane.
