However, you did have to slide with care as they tended to slip off the runners due to their reduced size. I never liked pockets doors. It seems that all I have dealt with in the various places over the years end up with issues. Hardware breaks, scraping, falling off the track, etc. Of course, sometimes you have no choice! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the only good thing is the entertainment they provide when somebody tries to push open like a traditional door! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted November 4, 2019 Forum Support Posted November 4, 2019 Question Tommy. What is the spacing on your columns and how thick is the ceiling slab, and the width/depth of the concrete beams (red arrows) on the edges? The reason I ask is that we are thinking of replacing the roof of our lanai with a roofed viewing deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need to review the blueprint to check spacing and specs. Just looking at it, I would guess the ceiling slab is maybe 6 inches? But guessing won't help you...

The reason I ask is that we are thinking of replacing the roof of our lanai with a roofed viewing deck. The beam spacing varies from about 2.5 meters up to 7 meters apart depending on the configuration. So I attached a photo of the blueprint for you to check... I could not find a specification for the slab on the prints. But looking at the second floor slab, it is between four and six inches thick, and I think six is correct from looking at it... I am sure there is a "standard" thickness here... sorry I cannot give you more info about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another problem is it is so fine it's easy to completely sand out so you end up having to redo. How about larger cracks?

I'm sure just like back home some local will get a couple buckets of cement and paint and later sell for a big profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the owner is looking for the full market value. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
