Hi all.
I am looking on replacing and extedning my deck about another 4 feet.
The deck was never built correctly.
Its about 12 feet wide and sticks out about 8 feet.
Whoemever put this together before i bought the house, was a complete numb head.
There is no support under this porch.
Only thing holding it up is the flashing and that board itself is angling down.
If i stuck 10 people on this deck and bounced up and down, we would fall.
Its only about 4-5 feet off ground level, but still.
So,what i need help with is to pull off the boards, stick supports under neath it, im assuming in the middle and along the side.
I am not sure how far apart i would need to put in those tubes to cement in so the deck can sit on this, but this is a project i will need to do later.
Anyone have pictures or video tube clips i can watch on how to do this?
Or if someone can walk me through it,would be great.
Thank you
