Cut panel closest to the patio. How?

[Mjärn]

I am going to replace the panel. The stupid thing is that the deck built a year ago prevents me from reaching to cut with the circular saw at the bottom. How would you do it?

 

[Vante]

Cut as far down as you can with the circular saw, install an appropriate flashing, and new panel.

Ok.. Yes, that's probably what I'll have to do then.

Looks like you have metal sheeting mounted on the panel, be sure to remove it before you come with the blade...

 

[jonaserik]

Looks like the decking is attached to a beam that's fixed directly against the panel, a disaster for the part of the panel behind it. Lots of moisture and debris accumulate there. If the beam is attached to the panel, you can't remove what's left or push down a metal sheet to protect between the beam and the panel. So possibly a metal sheet can be bent so it's behind the new panel down to the decking with a small fold against the decking. Not a really good construction either, but in my opinion, the best. A metalworker can bend the sheet to fit.

There is asphalt board behind. I will put a sheet there afterward.

 

[jonaserik]

Yes, but is the rule that the deck boards are mounted on fastened directly to the panel or are there concrete piers underneath that support it.

 

[Mjärn]

Yes, but is the joist that the decking board is attached to mounted directly to the panel, or are there piers underneath supporting it?

The joist is attached to the wooden panel

 

[jonaserik]

The rule is attached to the wooden panel

Then it became more difficult to get it right. As mentioned, cut as low as possible and a broken sheet metal at the bottom that goes up at least 5 cm under the new panel and takes care of the moisture from the wall. But count on the fact that the part that remains will become rotten, as will the rule that the decking rests on. How long it takes, nobody can say, but more of it will happen.

Then it's harder to get it done. As mentioned, cut as low as possible and use a bent metal sheet at the bottom that goes up at least 5 cm under the new panel to handle the moisture from the wall. But count on the remaining part becoming rotten, as well as the beam that the decking rests on. No one can say how long it will take, but more will become so.

Yes, but it is pressure impregnated. It can take the time it takes. I can't do anything about it.

But the panel that's there now has no air gap. So I remove as much as I can with the circular saw. Then I set up beams to create an air gap. Then I put new paneling on that. So the wall is moved outwards, so to speak. Then I put a metal sheet at the bottom.

Yes, but it's pressure treated. It will take the time it takes. I can't do anything about it.

But the panel that is there now has no air gap. So I remove it as far down as I can with the circular saw. Then I set studs and make an air gap. Then I'll put new paneling on that. So the wall is moved outward, so to speak. Then I put a metal sheet at the bottom.

It will probably be fine, and nothing can be done better with the current construction. Good luck.

 

[Mjärn]

This is how it looks like under

 

[S.Hellman]

Maybe with a multi-saw? However, it will probably take a good while...

Saw off the decking one or two boards wide, insert a new beam under the decking to support it.
- replace the entire panel and then fill the gap with one or two long decking boards along the garage.

I don't think it's much more work, and it will be done properly.

 

[Mjärn]

Saw off the decking one or two decking boards wide, place a new support under the decking that holds it up.
- replace the entire panel and then you'll need to fill the gap with one or two longitudinal decking boards along the garage.

I don't think it will be much more work, and it will be done properly.

I could do that too, yes. Good tip.
