Having just fixed a ledger board to a wall for some outside decking using resin anchors and 12mm threaded stainless steel rod, I really which I'd known about the availability of those resin capsules and studs (although no doubt they are hideously expensive). Over a 4m length, trying to keep the alignment of the threaded bolts with the holes with the joist is a nightmare no matter how careful you are. Inevitably the rods don't go in and hold 90 degrees to the wall and over about 80mm of exposed thread they are out enough that the holes don't align. I got it fitted after opening out the holes by a couple of mm, and with big stainless steel washers (on both sides so water isn't trapped between joist an wall) it will be fine, but it took a long time. The only issue I might have had is that it's on an extension and the brick layer was a bit economical with filling the frogs a resin gun means you have compensate to some extent if you hit a cavity, but that might be an issue with capsules. With this sort of approach, alignment is automatic. It's only a low-level decking (for an electric wheelchair user), but still has to be built to much the same standard as a suspended floor in a house. Now I have to get the supporting posts in exactly the right locations as with composite decking it has to be within a few millimetres, but I have a plan...
Hi, I have a 2100 extension and I'm putting two skylights in and replacing the tiles. I have a wooden beam going across that has got to be removed. The question is the pitch on the roof is 15 degrees. So what the smallest size Joists would you recommend to keep the 15 degree pitch because I have a window above the extension. Thanks
Hey Glen! Thanks for your comment. The ledger is an 8x2 and we used M12's. Need to drill the hole a size up to leave space for the resin, so M14 essentially. Try to avoid the frogs in the bricks as the resin will just dissapear and you wont get a great fixing. Hope that helps!
@@jwhomeimprovements6604 Thanks for that yes it does. I am doing the same as you timber frame on top of a cavity wall. I can see you have rested the joists on the inner block leaf wall plate, can you tell me if you rest them on the outer leaf of bricks??? or do you just leave a gap between the outer leaf to the rim board of the joists?? or do you rest the rim board onto the outer leaf bricks??
Either way, it's screwed. Bricks aren't meant to hold weight, especially not weight the likes of a complete deck. The Brick wall could very well buckle due to the weight and the whole thing could collapse. I don't know what the laws are in the UK but in the West this is technically illegal.
Bricks aren’t meant to hold weight are they not? Most of Britain was built using bricks and they seem to be doing a good job of holding the weight above them pal
@kezw6215 Look, PAL. Get educated on the matter. Just because people do it alot doesn't make it right. Brick veneers are NOT meant to carry loads, only the weight of themselves. Google it, UA-cam it, and you'll see. Got it, pal? Good pal.
@@EtoTheKay this wall is not constructed with brick veneer. It’s a cavity wall I’d imagine consisting of 2 separate skins of 100mm wide brick separated by a cavity of probably 50mm wide tied together possibly depending on age with cavity ties. The wall most certainly can carry load as the existing floors and roof will go through the wall and there is no problem at all bricks can carry massive loads no problem. Brick veneers or brick slips as they’re called over here can’t carry any load and are merely decorative but there not that common
Are you building to the IRC? Here in the USA and Canada, you cannot mount a ledger to brick veneer like you did since it would put a load on the brick veneer.
@@justbreakingballs How can you tell that it's a masonry wall and not veneer? I read that masonry walls have header courses. I can't see any. Is there another way to tell that it's not a vaneer?
This is what I was going to ask. I don't know much about building regulations in the UK, but where I come from nothing heavier than a flower basket is allowed to be fixed to the outer leaf brickwork. Regardless, I see many builders here fixing timber boards to bricks to support canopy roofs and similar structures. The roofs themselves are not heavy, but the wind load could be huge.
@volopa5 Anybody who attaches ledger to brick is asking for trouble. Brick veneer are not meant to carry any weight other than their own. Yeah, a flower basket, something like that...fine. But not a deck weighing 1000s of pounds. Add people on top, and there's a lot more to lose here than just a deck.
@Tom-qo7ry Tell that to the 1000s of decks that collapsed causing serious injury and even death in several cases. Brick veneers are not meant to handle loads in the 1000s of pounds. There's a reason why they're illegal in the West.

Who make these resin /epoxy anchor bolts. connectors? Simpson strong tie?
hey there, did you use any kind of membrane or tape underneath this ledger next to the brick? or is it ok, because it won't be external? thanks
Nice video, I just found this will go and watch the rest....what size is the ledger board on that??? and did you use m12 or m16 bolts....

We call them chemical anchors or are resin anchors different?
What are the name of the resin capsules you used?
Here is the US we'd call it Epoxy
Are those bolts only tied to the brick veneer? Or screwed all the way through to the floor joists?

It's not a veneer it's a brick wall.

I've just resin bolted a 4metre 8inch pole plate to brick wall for 15degree lean to roof as specified by building control in England 🇬🇧
@EtoTheKay the brickwork will easily take a timber deck 👍
