How I Built A DIY Screened In Patio Full Exterior Build

[@alreddy13]

If you're planning on building a concrete slab as large as this, DO NOT USE THE DRY POUR METHOD. Take it from a structural engineer. The dry pour method is great for like a flower bed or a few pavers that you don't mind breaking within a few years. Mix the crete and use rebar reinforcement you wont ever have any doubts.

[@glee21012]

No stone underneath either

[@LeonardoHakaisha]

Saw he wasn't using rebar for that big of an area and he will definitely regret that in a few years.

[@DvonDowell]

I thought the same when I saw the bags getting set up. Still a cool project tho.

[@CharlieBam]

Yeah I've done concrete with my grandad, no expert but this made me cringe. No way that's gonna last.

[@PeterJDYoung]

​@@LeonardoHakaishawhat does the rebar do

[@Jig-nonymous]

For anyone wanting to do this themselves: First of all wet pour and rebar as everyone is saying. Second, don't use 4x4 at those heights as they will twist and warp. Instead, use 6x6. 3rd, I'm not sure if he did in this video, but pressure treated wood needs time to dry before paint or stain will adhere. It takes a couple weeks.

[@thatsright4194]

I agree on the 6×6 for a plywood and asphalt shingled roof because of the weight. 4×4 would be fine if they did a PVC or aluminum type of roof.

[@dianemontford6485]

Wow!!! that looks amazing

[@rthedberg]

You think there’s any need to drill and epoxy some rebar into the existing slab to tie the two together when you pour?

[@Jig-nonymous]

@rthedberg No. You can, and it wouldn't hurt. But I doubt most people's houses are going to suffer from shifting terrain that would cause separation between the new slab and the house foundation. Wouldn't hurt, but it's not really necessary. Definitely use post bases though

[@riflebear1711]

​@@rthedberg unless you like settling, yes

[@Muksanim2012]

The best part of the plan is encouraging the boys to be a part. They will always cherish those memories as well as learning how to do things.

Doing it wrong.... Priceless 😂😂

[@picklemetimbers3003]

When that slab cracks because it's dry pour without reinforcement and pulls the roof and siding down you can say " I created this problem all by myself"!

[@honeybadgerisme]

@@picklemetimbers3003Aw! He won't have to wait for the slab to pull that roof off! Did you see how he attached it? Without flashing? That's flying off in high wind and may even pull the concrete with it. If it happens fast enough before the slow rain water innundation rots the load bearing studs of the house!

Having to tear it all down and redo it because you did it all wrong is a lesson people who make videos about doing things wrong will never learn.

Both of my parents had their back porch enclosed in the mid 90’s as a small sitting room for my mother to enjoyed her music or just piece of quiet for her. It was all season room,too. It had already had a roof over the porch. It still had a patio door from the house.

[@picklemetimbers3003]

You secured a roof to your siding but didnt rebar the new slab into the old slab. A contractor in my state wpuld have to pull a permit for this job. You would fail inspection on that slab. Been a site forman for over a decade now. Love the DIY channels but teaching someone the wrong way to do something is quite harmful. Secondly that slab is a bit too large for a dry pour.

[@boriqua1973]

Exactly! 💯👍🏽

[@texmontana420]

Yea the concrete on our back porch was poured in 1979 & only one piece of rebar is exposed after all these years. Can’t imagine how structurally sound that concrete would be for them if theres nothing supporting the strength of it.

You guys did a fantastic job! It looks beautiful. I wish I had a partner to help me with construction projects. Doing it yourself is hard work and time consuming. I would use the pour method instead of the dry method. I would have also used rebar and gravel, to prevent cracking later. The problem I’m running into is extending the existing roof that is already at 7’ tall. How would I extend my roof without removing the existing roof!

[@C.Double.]

Everyone is focused on how wrong the concrete slab is... I think your biggest issue is that you installed the drip edge and flashing on the roof completely wrong... metal drip edge should be ABOVE the shingles NOT under it, it should serve as an "edge" to let the water "drip" past the point where the shingles meet the wall. As you have it installed, its a "leak edge" that is now going to let water sit on that seem or worse, and eventually worse... help water get under the shingles. Membrane under the shingles, drip edge flashing goes over the shingles. Any drip edge for that matter should always be directing water out and over seams, not in and under.

Agreed. A dry pour might be fine for a few pavers or an indoor countertop, but weight bearing and outdoors seems like a terrible idea to me too.

(I did forget to record the work, but it took me 3 days by myself to get it put together.). And your absolutely right man, prices are insane. Especially with the solar, although lumber prices in my area have finally fallen down a bit. (no longer 40+$ for a sheet of plywood, or 35$ for an 8 foot 4x4. Plus theres a store in town that sells partial sheets of plywood (4x3 foot) at 7$ per, so it makes building yourself a LOT more manageable.

​@davearnold1883 If you are a renter you have to have permission from owner in order to do projects that will alter the existing build and if it does not add value or home owner doesn't want/like what you did you will be liable for it all and removal of addition as well as liable for restoring it back to how home owner had it prior to tentant mving in. Even painting a room has to be cleared with home owner. This ensures renters just don't start tearing a home a part they don't own and leave owner with destroyed property. I would highly recommend that if you are renting to not do any DIY projects on a rental. If you need anything taken care of then it is best to contact home owner and let them fix the problem.

My husband and i are very much a diy-er. But when it came to building our sunroom, we just hired a company. It was less than 30k for the concrete pour and the whole framework. The room was 20x13ft. After a month of fabrication, it took 2 days to install. My husband and i did nice flooring inside, a new wall for extra electrical outlets and heavy-duty flush tv mount. Installed our own cameras and lights. That room will outlast the whole house.

I don’t care what others say about the dry pour you did right. It’s not like you dry poured the entire floor just extend it and it will hold up. It’s your house and what you guys wanted. Also awesome work on the build. You guys did great. A lot of folks on here wish they could have done it too but can’t. So never mind the haters. Keep up your best work🎉🎉🎉
