Patio Roof Headroom Problems And Solutions When Building On Sloping Ground or Hillsides
This video discusses the problem of headroom height when building a patio on a sloped surface. The creator explains that if the patio is extended far enough, the headroom height may be reduced, which can be a safety hazard.
One solution is to raise the entire roof structure of the patio. Another option is to raise a separate section of the patio where the headroom is lowest. The creator recommends starting at the lowest point and working towards the area with more headroom.
The video also discusses how to reduce the number of posts and concrete footings needed for the patio. One method involves using an inverted hanger and an end column cap to support the post above. Another method uses a 2x4 to support the weight from the other beam.
The creator emphasizes the importance of checking with a structural engineer to verify the feasibility of these methods for a specific project.
Overall, this video provides helpful information and visual aids to understand the challenges of building a patio on a sloped surface and potential solutions to address headroom issues and reduce the number of posts and footings required.
