BeezFun said:Great project Darren, what did you use to attach the sidewall headers to the posts? Also it looks like there is a 2x12 on top of a 2x6, are they connected somehow?
Thanks and I just nailed the sidewall headers up using # 20 nails and lots of them. As the rafters are tied to both sides and the 45* pieces are also nailed in between from both side it seem acceptable. All the force against it should be straight down and therefore would have to shear the nails off. I had the building engineered and this is what they came up with. Also the 2x12 + 2x6. Seemed like over kill to me but did it anyways.
