Hi Jayrod12,
1) I will cut the sliding where I need to put ledger.
2) Put vinyl thin sheet tuck up side into existing sliding.
3) Put weather proof sealant top of the board.
4) put Vinyl Window and door cap on top
5) Once leg bolts are in place put sealant around them as well.
Thanks,

1) diagonal bracing to beams
2) bracing the post to beams
Do you think this would enough? If not,
I could put the ledger board for second floor.
