Attach An Awning Ledger Board To A House

Make it the full.

Attach an awning ledger board to a house.

On site the first board would be positioned within 1 2 from the wall flashing. 1 2 carriage or cap bolts. My approach is to apply a self adhering self sealing membrane to the wall where the ledger will be installed that extends at least an inch above the top of the ledger two inches below and four inches past the ends. Rafters are placed on 24 centers and attached to the beams and settle joists are attached as needed image 1.

Temporarily nail or brace the ledger in place positioned and leveled at the desired height. Remove the shingles or siding in the area identified for the header board. It s a code compliant structural wood screw engineered to fasten a deck ledger board to the rim joist of a house with no pre drilling. Locate a position for a header or ledger board.

Attach 2x6 rafters to the house with joist hangers and or supported by the ledger board. The lags should pass through by at least 1 2 on the back side of the band board. If necessary use a sliding bevel to determine angles needed where the rafters will meet the ledger board. These replace lag screws and through bolts have been coated with a proprietary three step coating process that protects against corrosion even in pressure treated wood and are acq approved.
