Hello everyone,
Our terrace (approx. 38 m²) will be located above our garage entrance, essentially on the 1st floor. We have a steep slope, so the basement is planned with a double garage and above it the terrace. Accessible from the living rooms.
Regarding the actual concern. The main substructure from the timber construction company for the terrace/carport will be wooden beams. On top of that, Nordic pine with resistance class 1 will be used. The "smaller" substructure naturally made from the same material, 45x70 squared timbers. Then the decking boards go on top.
Now there are 3 layers of wood on top of each other. The decking boards + the small substructure will be mounted klassically with Terrafix spacers and then hopefully only need to be renewed after +15 years.
QUESTION: How can I properly and weather-resistantly attach the squared timber substructure to the beams? At an acquaintance’s place, the beams at the screw points were severely and deeply rotted. I don’t want to have to completely renew the beams in 20 years as well, but hopefully only in a later period!
What solution would you suggest here? The timber center also offered me rubber granulate pads. Should I use those? Is that enough?
Thanks a lot for your tips!
