Putting A Deck On Roof Of Bus

When you start building your roof over the deck try and get some material that compliments the decking.

Putting a deck on roof of bus.

The sleepers aren t fastened in place and the floor floats. 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. Whenever i install decking over a roof i make sure the framing is structurally sound and properly pitched to drain water.

Extremely happy with this purchase. The frame is metal and the sunshade is moveable. A 1 5 inch thick rim joist cannot support a 3 5 inch thick post above. We put it together in an hour really easy.

You can use 2x material laid flat or 4x material also as sleepers. 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. Some people also like the feel of having a higher deck roof so this could be an option you might want to look at.

Convert the space under a second story deck into a dry spacious patio by installing this simple under the deck roof and gutter system. Hanging from the deck. Strips of 4 in wide epdm provide a layer of protection between the sleepers and the roof. Boards on the deck the deck is about 8 feet by 10 feet and it hangs off the back of the bus creating an awning.

In this same vein we did not put in a ceiling vent fan. You can do a floating deck and is really your only option. Treat it with the same products to give it a similar finish. You might want to use the same wood or something else.

Hardware and tools are included for assembly. 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.
