Concrete Patio Against Wood Siding
Ok now look at the concrete foundation.
Concrete patio against wood siding. 2 look at the lowest section of vinyl. There s currently a piece of wide fiber cement trim that covers the rim. The best thing to do and it s the code in va is to put aluminum coil in between the wood and the concrete. The plan is to build the step out of concrete and top it off with a limestone cap.
3 i would presume you will have a 5 inch step into the house. Should there be a gap between house and concrete steps to allow air flow. Approx 3 ft in height. Im having concrete steps poured against the house under patio doors.
If so 1 2 inch or more. This means that you can lay the pavers against the concrete of your foundation as it rises from the earth. If you find your plans require laying pavers against vents siding or other materials choose another patio plan. 1 i see about 18 inches of siding.
That right there just lopped of 9 inches. See that lowest section of vinyl is fixed to the concrete foundation. Im installing pressure treated plywood then house wrap around plywood and metal lath. I would advise locating a vinyl siding company and getting them to break some scraps that they ve laying around about an inch much higher than the concrete will be poured and as far out from the house as the scraps will go.
Below the sliding patio doors so there needs to be a step. I m installing a patio in my backyard and the grade level is about 15 in.
