Wooden deck, feedback from experiences
published: 17/08/18, 01:57
This subject is just going to relate my 3 constructions of wooden terraces (3rd in progress), you never know it can always be used.
The first was in 2005 with the means on board and the minimum expenditure of course.
The original place
The slight "disbursement" with the pick
Minimalist material
The 4 construction planks with 2 wells lost at the bottom of the slope which have always played their role well
Summary placement of boards with joists
I used cement slabs which were on site without worrying about buying others.
Summary covering with wooden slabs (end of series in large areas)
The only "trick" of the system was to make a "frame" so that the just laid wooden slabs (neither screwed nor nailed) did not move and they did not move
A saturator pass
After that this small terrace of ten square meters will never be maintained either above or below.
It will still take 8 years to no longer be (partially) functional.
Frankly 8 years compared to the little investment of time, material and maintenance it is given.
And when I say 8 ... actually I built the next one in 2015.
But from the age of 8 she started to move on the right side (back to the house)
This is where there were no cement slabs that the boards that rested ... on other boards rotten.
If I wanted it was enough to change the boards / joists (they were also a little too thin, but I had been too lazy to disburse more) and to buy back some cement slabs (to no longer have this problem of "rapid decay" "And that started all over again because the planks were good and the wooden slabs too.
All this to say that it is not necessarily necessary to dig the nénette to make a wooden terrace
