Releveling porch joists
Hello,
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm rebuilding my porch deck. Most of the deck joists are in good condition, except they are pitched slightly wrong. I'm wondering if it would be workable to simply sister on a 2x4 to the side of the existing joists, which are rough 2x6s for the 6' span. I would set the top edge of the 2x4 to the desired pitch, which be anywhere from 0" to 0.5" higher than the top of the existing joists. So the 2x4s would basically just be nailers to accept the porch deck and transfer the load to the existing joists. Any problem with doing this? Thanks, Wayne |
