Curved Rim For Deck

kcremodeling

What is the best method of creating a curved rim for the outside edge of a deck. I know the deck should be cantilevered. I would guess you could use a 3/4 PT plywood for the rim joist, I just worry it may not hold up properly.

We used to buy 21/64's x 12 clear heart redwood and laminate it with resorcinol glue. Epoxy would work better
Don't ask where you could get the redwood though it ahas been almost 20 years

Oh and just get the damm permits

Kind of obviously, it depends on the materials that you are using and the radius of the bend.

I use mostly redwood rim joists/fascia, and I just rip it down to a thickness that allows the bend for the radius. I also used to use resorcinal to glue up the laminations, but alas, it is not available to me anymore, so epoxy or others glues is it.

I build a form and use 1/4'' pt rips usually from 2x6. For me the dry stuff is the best in fact I lay it up in my shop just waiting for the job to come up. Tightbond 111 has never failed me I see no reason to use anything else. I use a lot of clamps and work in a timely nature.

Not understanding the deck should be cantivelered, it all depends on what the wallet wants.

Now the Bone Mon has a total different aproach. I would like to carry his tools back and forth for just one Job.
