Questions & Answers
I am using this to attach 2in. x 8in. x 12ft. joist to deck ledger board. Can I use NAILS - a qua...
Asked by Gary June 17, 2020Yes you can because I use them to attach my 2x4 to my picket fence.
Appropriate for lightly sloped side roof?
Asked by Adam June 1, 2020what you propose will work. However you should also Cut the joist end at the appropriate angle so that it fits flush against the back of the hanger. That insures that your nails through the sides of the hanger will fully contact the joist.
Can i use this to hang a 2x10 from a 2x8 with the tops flush?
Asked by KitBearington March 29, 2020These are only 8 inches long and the bottom set of nail holes are roughly 3/4 inch from the bottom. If you hang it off of a 2x8 ledger board you won't be able to use the bottom set or nail holes. There is another tab above that hole that you could punch a hole in to get another row of nails. It should be structurally sound, but, probably not to code.
is there a concealed flange made for a double 2x6?
Asked by steve March 13, 2020Yes. Search Simpson Strong-Tie and look for a dealer near you. I got mine at Home Depot.
