I've lurked before and even posted once or twice but thought I should post for real. I've had a bit of experience before in adding walls into an existing house to make new rooms (already under roof). We have a deck coming off the second story - where all the bedrooms are. Problem is - we don't use it as a deck - it's not off the kitchen. under the deck is a patio - tiled - and we use that. So our thought is to enclose the deck to make a rumpus room / study. deck is on hardwood posts, with beams, and has hardwood decking. Roof is corro iron on rafters, tied into roof. Questions: How do I go about getting eaves onto the deck roof so that I have eaves? How wide do eaves need to be? ( I was thinking about 450mm.) How do you fit windows into a timber frame? Anyone know a good supplier for bifold timber windows in Northside Brisbane (good = cheap and reliable!) Cheers, alwayscurious Re: Building in a Deck (2 new rooms) 2Jan 04, 2009 8:49 pm Oh - we are planning to use 'click clack' flooring - the floorboard panels that you can lay down. Should we put down fibro first before laying this floorboard panel on top? Re: Building in a Deck (2 new rooms) 3Jan 05, 2009 1:34 am Hi always, i would find it very hard to attempt any assistance without seeing some plans. in WA even renovations/additions need building permits & plans. i'd suggest u see a draftsman about what u intend to do, an experienced draftsman will show plan, 2 elevations (min) & the connection details, eves ect. - just a suggestion that might help?
