Start by making an outline on the siding where you want to position the ledger board.
Attach an awning ledger board to a wood siding house.
The screws should penetrate the ledger the sheathing the house and go into a framing beam such as a floor joist or a wall stud.
Use a chalk to join each s.
Nail undersill trim j channel will also work over the bottom cut using 11 gauge aluminum nails.
Make it the full width of the porch or slightly wider depending on your porch design.
Once the ledger board is tightly fastened into place use a caulk gun to caulk all the seams between the ledger and the house with weatherproof caulk.
Drill 1 2 inch holes through the ledger board into the planks between joists.
The gap between each s should be at least 1 inches.
Determine how high it must be to provide an adequate slope to the roof.
Slip the flashing under the siding so it will cover the ledger board.
Find the wall studs or roof trusses that will have to support the ledger.
Attach the ledger with 1 2 inch diameter lag screws or bolts every 16 inches or as specified by local building codes.
Fasten the ledger board with 1 2 inch bolts and washers.
Attaching a deck ledger securely is only half the work of installing a ledger.
The lags should pass through by at least 1 2 on the back side of the band board.
In this instance minimum 1 2 lags are staggered along the length of the board.
Then cut away the siding.
This is a side view of the perspective diagram above.
Mark the studs between the two e with a pencil as s for the sidings.
Re check for level and then drill lag screw or bolt pilot holes through the ledger and into the house s framing.
Locate a position for a header or ledger board.
It is one of the most common ways of connecting the ledger to the band board.
Secure flashing with galvanized nails.
Temporarily nail or brace the ledger in place positioned and leveled at the desired height.
Get 4 inches of the flashing under the bottom of the siding.
Then use zinc lag screws to secure the ledger board to the house.
Locate all the studs on the exterior wall in the area where the awning will be affixed.
Step 5 attach ledger board.
