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

[@dsc420247]

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!

[@MAGAMAN]

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.

[@Beth9228]

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.

Any concrete supporting structure is preferred to have a footing on the outer edge of slab. Wet pour is preferred for this instant. Did a perfect job on the rest of project though. A+

[@milescameron7171]

Also, needed some rebar. That slab is gonna crack all over the place.

[@MAGAMAN]

Wet pour is not "preferred", it is required. I can't understand why someone would spend all the money on all the concrete they need and then put it in in a way that will require it all to be torn out again in a short time.

definitely add some rebar to expand the width of the slab to hold and support your post rafters and roof. you could see a stress crack that runs parallel to the new wall on your slab

[@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.

[@fredoannaramirez4636]

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

Suggestion for an aesthetic point of view, you should’ve installed some of the siding that you use for your pony wall on the roof first and then your OSB. That way you have a nice finish look on the inside And if you use 1 inch nails for the roofing, they won’t protrude through the ceiling. Also roof pitch looks a little low installed a metal roof roof to prevent leaks. Otherwise, it looks great.

Two notes! 1. I would never use dry pour for any foundation. The interior of the concrete will never be as strong as mixed concrete. If you do a small area only for light foot traffic and don't have a concrete mixer, a cheap container for mixing quikrete Home Depot 5-gallon bucket will work okay. 2. Wet concrete placement offers higher initial workability, making it easier to place, compact, and finish. Wet concrete placement and workability but is adjusted for optimal workability based on project requirements and mix designs.
