In this satisfying video, the guys take you through the whole process of BUILDING A PORCH FROM START TO FINISH. Each stage of how to build a brick porch is covered and Pete starts off by explaining how to prepare concrete foundation for porch. Using a laser level he sets the depth for pouring concrete footing. Pete mixes a 5in1 concrete mix and the explains how to use a concrete vibe to level and disperse air from concrete pour. Tony runs through the plans using 7 newton concrete blocks, engineering bricks and old blue bricks. Alex is in action setting out the blockwork and showing how to lay blocks, then how to fix a wall starter kit, before laying ytong blocks. Alex sets up his new bricklaying corner profiles and fills the cavity with kingspan kooltherm insulation. Pete is on the brick saw and gives you a quick rundown on its performance. Alex fits the cavity wall steel lintel over the doorway so Pete can fit the wall plate in preparation for the roof rafters. Tony explains the roof design and how the roof jacks and roof hip will work. After removing brickwork the 2 new RSJ steel beam goes in and the rest of the porch roof rafters go on and so over to Will. The whole process of how to tile a roof is seen from laying roof felt, fixing roof lath, laying roof tiles and finally the roof step flashing. Now you have seen all the bricklaying and roofing the final part is to show you how to fit a composite front door and there you have it, a good example of a DIY porch for your next project!
