We purchased an old 1910 house a couple of years ago and the concrete porch was poured up against the house slightly above the bottom piece of siding.
Pouring concrete against siding.
You and your.
Concrete should never be poured up against steel siding and or trim.
This is mostly because of the chance for standing water or leeching.
As porous as concrete is its not even ideal that treated wood meets concrete.
There is a tar or asphalt impregnated expansion joint material too that may.
If you are pouring 4 have them break it 5 high.
Wet concrete on skin can cause everything from mild redness to third degree permanently disfiguring chemical burns.
Wood meeting concrete in a damp area is never a good recipe.
I would advise locating a vinyl siding company and getting them to break some scraps that they ve laying around about an inch much higher than the concrete will be poured and as far out from the house as the scraps will go.
We show you the best techniques and tools so you get concrete forms right the first time.
It can be cork 1 2 thick by 4 tall set to the wall with short pins to hold it while pouring.
The porch wraps around 1 side and part of the back where it is on the back the porch is not covered.
As you install the metal shoot some silicone caulking behind it.
