| This is the area for both sets of stairs. The upper
stairs fit in at the furthest point, coming from the upper deck to the
retaining wall, which is the edge of the pool area. the lower stairs are
closest, and come off the wall, then execute a 45 degree, and drop at
slope, roughly, forming a compound angle. They then run parallel to the
concrete out onto the grassy area in the foreground and execute a 90
degree right. there are three sonotube concrete pillars that will
support stairs out at the grass, and the last stair pan will be floating
over the concrete in front of the column in the foreground. |
This is a view of the deck underside. there are two
columns and a beam in the foreground, with a 4 inch tall flashing
forming an edge, wrapped all the way around the beam, and then to the
house. In the background are two columns, with a channel on top, which
is bolted to the face of the existing concrete deck. In between the
channel and the wide flange beam run mud decking, which is highly
corrugated sheet metal, used for roof and deck pours. Underneath that,
running from channel to beam are 2 by 8 purlins at sixteen inch
intervals, and three 2 by 4 studs running perpendicular, to bear the
weight of the new concrete, which is 4 inches deep at the new pour. At
the right, connected from the back channel to the front beam is another
channel bolted all together. This both supports the edge of the new
pour, and bears the upper end of the upper stair. |
