Nice video. But i do not understand prioritizing the use of the screw over using treated lumber. Why not just get the right kind of screw. I also disagree that cedar does not rot. Cedar will rot much sooner that treated lumber.
@BenVanKirk 16 күн бұрын
Those screws are specifically made to hold metal roofing in place. They have a wider head and rubber gasket that allows the metal to expand and contract so it will not bend, warp and dent. We did put a heavy coat of water sealer on the cedar so it should last for a long time. Thanks for watchin!

I just found this video .. I’m curious how you prevent build up of leaves and debris from clogging the channels and I had a deck under-roofed with metal and entire deck is rotting including support .. I think the deck and under roof builder made a number of mistakes and I’m paying for it now..there is no way to get it cleaned out without taking down the entire under-decking or all the deck boards on top..probably a $50k rebuild now..😢
@BenVanKirk 18 күн бұрын
The cedar spacers do provide a gap for debris to wash away and keep them away from the joist. We also added joist tape on top of each joist when we built the deck. We used this system because it of cost. The only way to fully clean it out would be to take down a panel or 2 and power wash. So far we have not noticed much build up and the slope helps wash any build up away and the cedar strips should last quite a long time. Oh, and we added an extra heavy double coat of water sealer to each joist before we installed everything. Thanks for watchin!

I don't get the whole picture frame framing method. The deck boards end on nothing, I get that the picture frame is supported and that the deck boards get screwed down a few inches back but still the very end of the boards will be prone to lifting. Why not place a 2x4 on edge inside the rim band and then add another joist next to it. Wouldn't that work?
@BenVanKirk 2 ай бұрын
That would work too. A 2x4 on edge is more area for moisture to collect. Also, since the blocking was cut from scraps this method is a little cheaper. I haven't had any issue with the picture frame boards lifting on the edges, they only over hang about an inch. Thanks for watchin!

The question that everyone always asks about this type of solution is about sealed in moisture and debris. I have not seen a system that solves this problem including the expensive commercials ones. You did a great job, but plan on attacking various problems again in few years (like 5 if you are lucky and dont live in the PNW.)
@BenVanKirk 2 ай бұрын
These panels are held in place with a few screws so they can be easily taken down every couple of years to clean things out if we see an issue. Plus the cedar strips give a few inches of clearance between the joist and the roofing so most of the small stuff washes down the gutter. I appreciate the feedback, all these systems have positives and negatives. The positive for this system is cost at under $1200 for a 50' deck. Thanks for watchin!

@BenVanKirk 2 ай бұрын
I just went with even spacing. Since my deck is 10 feet out from the house I spaced my strips every 2 feet 6" apart. I used 1 by material which is actually 3/4" thick so each row dropped by 3/4". This is probably more drop than I needed but I also wanted enough support for the metal roofing when attaching it to the strips. Thanks for watching!
