  1. Greg, how are those attached to the interior of the building? They look really easy to install. The framers like easy.

     

    Thanks for the input.

     

    PS: Your alias is badass. I like it.

    You don't attach them to the interior, you screw them in into the plate from the outside same as you do with DTT1Z. They adjustable and can be moved up and down, in and out.

  2. I called simpson and got clarification on that on last Wed. I told them the diagram shows lag screw mounted in the plate but what do you do if the is deck joist is smaller than the interior joist. I was told It has to have 3" of penetration weather in the sill, header, stud or joist (2x8 min). It can also be thru bolted as well.The reason for the DTT1Z was for easier installation. I should have mentioned though that the holes are to be pre-drilled for lag bolts but that should be common sense.

     

    I noticed the code book has no lag bolt placement requirements for in the rim joist for 60# live load decks only for 45# live load. My engineer has been requiring 2- 1/2" x 4" lag bolts staggered in every joist bay for spans up to 14' and 3 staggered after that.

     

    You are correct though as that is the way it is drawn in the catalogue. But if you read the text it says it can attach to plate, header, stud or joist. Could you possible have an older catalogue?

     

    PS: We no longer can use 2x6 PT for decks anymore.

    We use now ADTT-TZ Tension ties much easier to use and easy to adjust in any situation.

     

    They come in flush or full extension and they exceed 2015 IRC lateral attachment requirements, just have to check with your building department if they heard about them yet, because some of the building officials have no clue, so you have to provide them with literature.

  3. Holy Karoly........ deck  railing would be a great subject for a workshop.  For some reason,  I still do not have it dialed in correctly.  If you guys are  up for a railing workshop,  let me know and I will plan on it.   I have a feeling this  would be a great workshop.

     

    BTW,  I have resorted to doing all of this stuff manually.  It does not take too long and it gives me complete control over column insets and railing locations.  I have a feeling GW and I will have some heated debates over the best method.

    Sign me up Scott... That is a good topic so  I'm definitely down.

     

    P.S. If it's possible and if that works for everyone else to make that one day next week, this week is a little crazy here, nephew is getting married and I have 3 couples from all over the place stay in my house until Monday.

  5. Angela,

     

    Select roof plane that you want to cut a hole in and select Create Hole tool at the bottom and make a hole in the roof where you want it and you can shape that hole any which way you want.
