Can you please make a video and show us how you mounted those 4x4 or 6x6 posts on top of the deck even if it’s a different deck how did you secure it please show me I’m wanting to know
I love this video series. Porch looks great. Did you add any support in the wall below the pockets for the lower roof beams? Or did there happen to be studs there to rest them on?
How are the roof posts attched after the fact? Were there footings made in part 1 or were they attched directly to the top? Can't wait to see the final project.
So the footings for the deck were indeed shown in part 1. From the ground up it was poured concrete footings, on top of which were sitting 6x6 posts holding up two girders made of double 2x12s. The two girders are what hold up the deck joists. So the 6x6 posts that hold up the roof assembly--some are attached with brackets to the deck framing, and the center post holding up the ridge beam for the roof, actually fit down inside the deck framing system and bolted to that. All connections either meet or exceed the required building code. I haven't actually filmed the final part yet, so when I do, I'm gonna try to actually show and talk about some of the questions that have been asked on these videos. Hope all that made sense!
Looks like your waterproofing solution between the joists (in the joist bays) precludes you blocking those joists properly. Won't that lead to joist bending or twisting over time?
It's probably less effective than fully blocking, but the joists are fastened to the girder running down the middle of the deck, not just sitting on it.
What area do you live in the country? I'll be flat out honest with you. I've fallen in love with this design, I might do my best to replicate this within the realm of my budget... will be a project over years not months. I'm in Ohio, would I be able to use this type of framing and have it be good enough for "snow weight"?
We are in central Virginia. The “snow weight” you are referring to is called live load. You can Google live load vs dead load. Dead load is the weight that is always present on a structure, while live load is something that happened on and off (like snow). It’s something you can find out by talking to your local building inspector or an engineer. I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys have higher live load ratings required up there, which would simply mean you need bigger lumber lumber for the rafters, and they might need to be closer together.
Pretty much. Between the thick EPDM membrane, plus the tape over each joint on top of the joists, it should be darn near totally self-sealing. I've never done this system over finished interior space before, but I think it would be suitable for that. It's always just been a simple matter of the client trying to reduce the amount of water, debris, etc that would get on stuff they are storing under the deck.
That’s what I figured .. was just curious on that process in which I couldn’t find a video on but also assumed it self sealed enough Thank you for the response

Can you tell me approximately what time in the video you are referencing? Because we used a few different types of brackets for the various connections.
9:24 I’m pretty sure you are supposed to lift with your legs not back unless you have a leg injury or something. Not throwing any shade or anything just wanted to point it out and he probably ment legs anyways
@@thebedfords I’m talking about the part we’re you connected the 6x6 post for the roof. Which clamp did you use? It looks like you connected them on top of the the posts for the deck.
@@Bankair121 if you are talking about the vertical timber out at the gable end, attaching to the 6x6, I think I cover that later in a different video. The horizontal timber lands on top of the 6x6, then we used one of these hidden brackets to attach the vertical timber to the other timber. You can see this at 8:17 in the part 5 video. You can see the three holes where the metal dowels go through the timber. www.fastenersplus.com/collections/cptz-concealed-post-bases?Dynamic+Ads+-+Connectors+-+Post+Caps+%26+Bases&hsa_acc=3477180114&hsa_cam=15230857591&hsa_grp=127489022777&hsa_ad=570921792178&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=dsa-1460184531542&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwIOV6veq-AIViLzICh2x-wHIEAAYASAAEgKLGPD_BwE
I'm getting ready to replace my deck and I'm going to put a slant roof on it and I can't find any information on if I should run my post from the footings all the way up to support the roof or build the deck and then put post on top of the deck and how to secure them correctly

Awesome Video ✅👍✅
Excellent
Looks like a high wind nightmare
#Fabulous 🎉

There were already enough studs in those locations to carry the load.
What size LVL ridge beam and non treated dimensional lumber end beams did you use? Looks like 2x12? Thank you making these videos.
The LVL was a double 1 3/4” x 14”.
The end beams were either 2x10 or 2x12. I don’t remember exactly.
@@thebedfords awesome thank you!

Me too. I wish to see how to attach the post for roof to the floor o decking
Did you place the 4 x 4 posts for the porch over footings 4 x 4 or 6 x 6?
Hey! What lumber sizes did you use ? The posts are 4”x4”???
And don’t misinterpret my comment before. This is a very educational and good video.
No worries. Thanks for watching!

Can’t seem to find any videos on how the decking gets installed over these water proof systems Does it self seal after screwing into it???
Pretty much. Between the thick EPDM membrane, plus the tape over each joint on top of the joists, it should be darn near totally self-sealing. I've never done this system over finished interior space before, but I think it would be suitable for that.

So there was no puncture through the water proofing when you screwed rhe deck boards to the joists?
The self-sealing G tape seals the holes.
How did you attach and support the roof posts
Check out some of my answers on other comments on this video, and that should answer your question.
This has to be a $45,000 deck
It was a good deal more than that :)
lol sheesh that’s nuts! Build me a shop for that kind of money
Quick question how you connected the 4x4 top post to a bottom 6x6
Can you tell me approximately what time in the video you are referencing? Because we used a few different types of brackets for the various connections.
@@thebedfordsyou are placing one on at 7:00 and did you also have to use strong ties?
@@She_sSincere we used a variety of different types of Simpson Strong Tie brackets.
@@thebedfords okay thank you for your response

Haha you are absolutely right. I said it backwards on purpose as a joke.
How did you connect the post for the cover to the deck?
Which part are you referring to? We used a couple different connection methods for different parts of the assembly.

Don’t understand why the roof post don’t go to the ground??
Probably just the way it was designed. I can’t recall if there was a specific reason.
How did you attach the 4x4s to the deck?
Simpson Strong-tie post brackets

Gotta talk to your local building department about stuff like that
“You in” hahahahahaha sorry I’m immature.
