This video provides tips on the design and construction of the end of a wood patio. The creator discusses an existing patio design and suggests an alternative approach for attaching the joists to the ledger board.
In the current design, the joists are butted up against the ledger board and the hangers are bent and nailed into the side of the ledger board. While this design is structurally sound, the creator suggests an alternative method that involves moving the joists back by about four inches. This would allow the two-by-two lattice on top to hang over and create a flush finish with the exterior wall.
The video emphasizes the importance of having options when designing a patio and encourages viewers to consider different approaches to achieve their desired look. The creator highlights that the suggested alternative design might appeal to some viewers more than the existing design.
Overall, the video offers valuable insights into patio design and construction, providing viewers with practical tips and alternative solutions to consider. It emphasizes the importance of careful planning and attention to detail when building a patio to ensure both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
