Carport Building How to Fix the Wall Plate
The carport roof is supported on two main beams of 100 x 50mm sawn timber running the length of the carport. One, the wallplate, is fixed to the house wall with masonry bolts. The other is screwed to the posts at the outer side of the building. Both are notched at intervals to a depth of 50mm to receive the sawn timber joists; you need seven for a carport 6m (20ft) long, spaced at 1m (3ft 3in) centres. Cut both beams to length, then mark the positions for the notches on both together to ensure that their positions coincide exactly. Saw out the open end notches, and saw down the sides of the others. Then use a wood chisel to cut out the waste wood and leave notches 50mm deep. Treat the newly-exposed surfaces with wood preservative.
Drill clearance holes through the wallplate midway between the notches, using a twist-drill bit sized to match the diameter of the masonry bolts you are using. Use the posts you will be fitting at the other side of the carport to support the wallplate temporarily against the house wall at the required level – at a minimum height of 2m (6ft 6in) to allow adequate headroom.
Create the necessary fall along the length of the carport by lowering one end of the wallplate by about 1mm for every 100mm of wallplate length – for example, a drop of 60mm for a carport 6m long.
Mark the positions of the fixings on the wall through the clearance holes in the wallplate, then set it aside.
Use a large-diameter masonry drill bit to drill the holes for the masonry stud anchors. Insert them so their sleeves are fully inside the holes and take off the nuts and washers. Lift up the wallplate (with help if you need it) and locate the clearance holes over the projecting bolts. Fit a washer on each one and handtighten the nuts. Then tighten them fully with a spanner to expand the sleeve within the wall and make a secure fixing. Learn more Woodworking Shed Design articles please go to woodworkingplans.tv website.
