You want the boards to follow the undulation of the ground, which isn’t level. I use a 6” increment to space between boards so the spacing is always the same. But a level fence can’t go uphill.

@@jaydu-sauzay4276 so do I but I always incorporate my levels involved throughout, I love perfection.

The top of it is going to be the same height as your floor maybe an inch below. Measure inside from the floor to the underside of the floor above (You'll have to get into the ceiling). Then use that same measurement on the outside of the wall. Or just look above the ceiling at the perimeter wall and see where that ledger board is.

Thanks. The ground sloped so they varied between 8’ and 10’ I believe. I would do 4 posts for that project. Just over 7’ span on each.

@@jaydu-sauzay4276 thanks for the response brother.

Hey William. I just set up a string line and made sure all the posts were touching the string. Measure off the wall on both ends to make sure the string is the same distance off the wall the entire length, drive a couple stakes in the ground and pull a string tight.

Hahahaha I’m expensive. It’s not hard. You got this!!!

Not recommended. I did 2x12. Minimum I would go is 2x6 for no more than 8' span.

The porch? I built a roof over it so was not really concerned about water intrusion where porch meets the house. Rafters for porch roof sat on top of a ledger on top of existing roof at outside wall of house. End product ua-cam.com/users/shorts5_com-Zv9R4?feature=share

Obviously the bolt there is longer than a half inch, I heard him say 5' and it looked like 5'. No one is that silly. As for the stud finder I never use them personally but if I know the area that is going to be covered I could always drill a test hole to see if a stud is found, then go 16' from there, but double checking to make sure its catching them all as you go. Patch the holes after with caulking or something.

The 2x4 ribbon which the floor truss connect to is on edge. There is 3½" horizontally along the entirety of the house side to side and then foor trusses with 3½" vertically probably 18" tall and likely 16oc or 19²/¹⁰oc and also double 2x6 wall plate above and below the floor truss.

Whell said.😍

@Horse D why what?

Did just fine without one. ua-cam.com/video/5_com-Zv9R4/v-deo.html

Couldn't afford one.... Still built this without one though... ua-cam.com/video/5_com-Zv9R4/v-deo.html...

Thanks for your concern. Doing just fine.

@@jiggidaboo amazing how people lose manners behind a key board...love your responses to everyone’s negative comments!

Hey bud. Honestly my stud finder didn't work through the stucco due to the metal screen, but luckily my rim joist lined up exactly where I needed the floor of the deck to fall. I would recommend using the stud finder inside the house through sheetrock, find your stud spacing, which may be 16" or 18" on center then apply that spacing to the outside of the house. Drill a small pilot hole and check to make sure you're hitting wood with each new stud. You can always put a little stucco patch in the pilot hole if you miss.

BartJay thanks for your quick response. That is helpful and thanks for the tip!

No problem

ua-cam.com/video/5_com-Zv9R4/v-deo.html here you go

I built a roof over it so I didn't have to worry about flashing. Just squirted some caulk in the bolt holes.

BartJay -I’m selling my house n no roof over deck, I got to cut stucco n keep water out, rain lots in Florida 😂 Thanks for responding 👍🏼

I didn't. Didn't want to deal with water issues. Squirt some caulk in the bolt holes. My stucco didn't crack. But I've got true 2" stucco.

BartJay so would you recommend not doing vs doing it?

I would recommend not cutting it out seeing as that's how I did mine. But I'm no professional, just an amateur DIY guy.

Yeah I put a roof on so I didn't, but if not, there should be some flashing and caulking there.

14" spacing. 60" tall fence. 6" boards.

Jay Du-Sauzay no the post

8'.

Yes. This is very good practice if you can afford the extra lumber. If not, you'll just have to plan to spend a couple hours each year reattaching a few boards. In my experience, in 6000', using rough sawn, untreated lumber, about 20 boards pop off each year.

I put a roof over it, so not needed.

You may need to cut a small hole in the ceiling inside your house and measure the height to the floor or to the bottom of the nearest window then apply the same measurerement outside. Chalk a line on the outside showing where the rim joist is.

@@jiggidaboo you da man thhanks this will help me a lot. Awesome video well descriptive and informative.
