You can use 2x material laid flat or 4x material also as sleepers.
Putting a deck on roof of bus.
This pergola offers a metal slanted roof to provide coverage from the hot sun on your deck porch or patio.
Treat it with the same products to give it a similar finish.
Be sure that the deck floor frame is at least as thick as the entire cross section of the post above and below.
A 1 5 inch thick rim joist cannot support a 3 5 inch thick post above.
Hanging from the deck.
Convert the space under a second story deck into a dry spacious patio by installing this simple under the deck roof and gutter system.
Some people also like the feel of having a higher deck roof so this could be an option you might want to look at.
However i would highly recommend that you consider a that the epdm is lying flat on the roof subfloor without any sharp objects that can puncture the edpm once sleepers are laid over top and placed under load.
The sleepers aren t fastened in place and the floor floats.
You can do a floating deck and is really your only option.
We put it together in an hour really easy.
Hardware and tools are included for assembly.
Strips of 4 in wide epdm provide a layer of protection between the sleepers and the roof.
Extremely happy with this purchase.
We put eyelets on the deck frame so that we can hang hammocks back there when there are no trees around.
We debated but ended up not getting around to installing one before we hit the road.
You might want to use the same wood or something else.
In this same vein we did not put in a ceiling vent fan.
One of our readers rune eriksen sent us photos of his design for a home built deck drainage system and we were impressed enough to check it out.
The posts should stack directly above a support post below and not within the span of a beam.
When you start building your roof over the deck try and get some material that compliments the decking.
We added the rooftop deck on the back half of the bus and then we added solar panels to the front half without leaving any room for a fan.
