Framing a Rooftop Deck With Wood

Thanks for watching!
In this video we focus on framing a roof top terrace using pressure treated. The idea is the have the bottoms contour with the roof slope but not actually touch the roof and have the tops perfectly level. Now I know there are other systems out there, this is the old school way. It works. But if you’d like something a bit more high tech that will put last this, there are low profile aluminum systems.

U should build access panels for the drains out of the decking material incase they ever get clogged

Chingon hermano!!!

Good video. I'm here because I'm looking into adding roof top access to a 5-plex that currently has only ladder access. Just wondering how big of a deal it would be. Seems like it might actually be pretty doable.

Thank you Brian’s Boss. 😂 appreciate the tips Gordon, you’re very informational and that lacks in the industry

[@mediocrefloridaman]

Hey. Would you recommend composite 2x6 for the framing or wrapping the 2x6 in window tape for better weatherproofing? Got a 1600²ft flat deck coming up. Thank you for this video!

[@woodbullyltd]

You are welcome. It’s hard to say exactly I have another video coming up of an even better way.

@@woodbullyltd just having a problem with the water not escaping like it should and customer is trying to steer clear of wood and I don't blame them. Thanks again, fam.

Great video. I’m about to do the same exact thing. What is the cladding or decking on the walls? Looks great.

[@michaeldombo3110]

On the walls??

[@UnframeofMind]

Can that elevation level output 16th of an inch segments rather than 10ths?

[@woodbullyltd]

If you want to go super accurate you can go metric and 2 decimals

I am from mechanical engineering . my dad is a construction worker he is smart but didnt teach me anything. i am here to learn construction. hopefuly to start my own company soon. finger cross thanks for starting me out

[@woodbullyltd]

Good luck man.

[@gamatoutsikos]

Nice work and video. And Very cool tool to measure elevation. As we say in Greece "the tools make someone the master" meaning no matter how good you are, you need the proper tools to excel

❎ Thanks so much, and for your insights 🏘🔭🌌💛

You’re welcome

[@lusoroofing5221]

that roof was not done properly, they only added two and didnt not add another two ply on the wall flashings. those seams at the corners will open up over time with expansion and contraction… it’s unfortunate bc they may have roof issues in the future and your putting on a high level deck! they might have to remove the decking to get to those roof leaks down the road:(

[@woodbullyltd]

Yes! We actually ended up putting new siding up and flashing the corners. What would you recommend before we seal it up?

[@lusoroofing5221]

@@woodbullyltd theres not much you can do the roof is already done, here is a link to better explain what im talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y33Eaoaqga9_bMU

This is exactly what happened on a house I just bought. No adequate drainage or maintenance caused the room below to get water from a damaged rubber membrane that failed. Water, mold, mildew, rodents in room deck built over. Ceiling fell in now entire deck has to be removed to fix damage. Out of thousands since seller hid damage and my inspector didn’t catch it.

Bro actually I don’t think you can do this!!!!

[@woodbullyltd]

I can
