Sill plate/seal on slab that will get water multiple times per year?
I'm building a couple of walls under a covered and water drained deck on an existing slab. The slab will occasionally get standing water that will evaporated from windy rain. How should I protect the PT lumber? It will not be a load bearing wall. Just supporting itself and cladding and hanging yard tools inside. Options I've come up with 1) Just put polyurethane foam under the PT? 2) wrap aluminum sheet under sill plate and up the 2x4 sides about an inch? 3) PVC trim board under sill plate? 4) raise sill plate up and leave an air gap? What to create the gap with? submitted by /u/Professional_Main_12 [link] [comments]
