My wife likes the look of a 1x6 tongue and groove ceiling. I was thinking about installing the 1x6 tongue and groove right on top of the joists in place of plywood sheathing. That way the underside will be a nice looking wood, rather than just the corrugated steel. Hopefully that answered your...

Some peel and stick sounds like a good insurance plan for wind driven moisture. I feel like I should add that to the plan. Thanks for the insight!

Im not sure if this is a joke about disagreeing with the decision to attach the ledger to the house? Or just a joke about horses? Or the pool removal decision? Or just a very generic desert joke? :dunno:

Thank you, your concerns are certainly valid and I genuinely took a hard look at a free standing design. I modeled several free standing structures before settling on this style. We have chosen not to do a free standing structure for several reasons. It may be a little more involved to cut into...

I have it written down as "sheathing" but it will actually be a 1x6 tongue and groove applied across the rafters. My wife likes the way a 1x6 ceiling will look from under the patio. after that I thought the purlins would give me a space between the metal roof and the 1x6 to breathe and also...

I am getting ready to cut into my stucco in order to mount my header/ledger to my wall studs. I am trying to plan it all out so that I have a leak free patio and minimal stucco patch. I created this drawing to illustrate my plan of attack and in hopes that someone with real experience can chime...

This is a good idea Git, I appreciate all your feedback. Drawing up some plans for a fully free standing steel structure now. Going to look at both options. The free standing option is nice because I can leave the window above the door and bypass cutting into the stucco. I also have a little...

Damnit... Every time I think I have made up my mind, someone smarter than me makes a good argument for the other option haha the house was built in 1996. Perhaps I should model up a steel freestanding version and see how I like it. Atleast then I wouldn't have to remove the small window above...

That seems like a useful way to find a few studs through stucco! Thanks for the info. I think in a situation like mine, I am leaning towards just opening up the stucco. For the size of this patio build, I would probably have to locate roughly 35 studs, and drilling all those holes would be...

Thanks for the info man, I think I am going to go this route. Seems like the best way to keep the header lasting for a long time.

Thanks for all of the input from everyone! I have spent the last week chatting with various people about the proper way to mount the ledger. Everyone does it differently as you'd imagine, and they all think their way is correct haha. My county doesn't really specify if you need to mount the...

If I am reading these drawings correctly, you are advocating just mounting the ledger to the exterior stucco, rather than cutting into it? If I cut into the stucco, do I just try and do that without cutting any holes into the existing lath paper? Or do I purposely cut into the lath paper so I...

The stucco is painted. It will be re painted once I build the patio cover as well.

How to attach a patio ledger to stucco home? Hey guys, my wife and I live in Cave Creek, AZ and we just had or first babies (twins!!!). At 1600 sqft, we thought our house was big enough for 1 baby, but its pretty tight with twins. We are on 1 acre of property, but we have no outdoor "living...

Hey guys, I have and FV71 and an MV71 that I took apart in hopes of rebuilding. When I contacted SnapOn, they said they no longer have rebuild kits for these ratchets. I know this is a long shot, but is there any chance someone around here would have these kits and be willing to sell them? The...
