I am building a PT deck attached to my house and have a question about
attaching the deck ledger board. Most everything I have read talks about connecting it to wood, not concrete. Here's what I was thinking of doing. All my joists are going to be 2x8, so I was going to use 2x10 for the ledger board. I am going to run 2 lapping strips of Grace Vycor ledger/flashing (it is like ice/ water shield, only 9" wide) under the siding and ledger board. Then I am going to drill into the concrete and use 1/2"x5.5" RedHead wedge (hot dipped galvanized) anchors--2 of them in every other joist bay (16" OC). Next I was going to use vinyl deck ledger flashing since I have heard that aluminum won't last well with the PT. I want to do this right and have it last...am I on the right track? |
