Vinyl Beadboard Ceiling on Porch
by Shelly
Partially installed vinyl beadboard showing plywood nailers
One of our site visitors, Shelly, contributed this photograph and helpful information about installing a vinyl beadboard ceiling:
The 6" planks (actually solid soffit material) are run parallel to the joists with plywood strips running between joists to provide a nailing surface for every plank. Each plank is screwed (provides more control than nailing) in 4 places along the 6-ft length. Screw pattern is staggered so each course is screwed into every other strip. The cut ends (allow 1/4 on each end for expansion, and make sure the screws in the nailing flanges aren't so tight that the plank can't slide) are supported by J channel at the house (just the top of the J channel installed for the siding) and the carrying beam."  Finished ceiling "Here is a shot of the finished vinyl beadboard ceiling. I still have to finish the bottom of the beam, the other side of the beam (vented soffit) and replace some siding, then I'll share pictures of the whole porch!" Shelly, we are very appreciative of you sharing how you installed your vinyl beadboard ceiling. And we wanted to link to the even more detailed information you provided here about your porch ceiling. Most helpful and appreciated by our readers here. It is very true that the right porch ceiling adds a lot of charm to any porch. Your front porch is a shining example. Thank you very much.
