    Default Skew nailing rather than brackets.

    Hi guys,

    I thought I would resurect this thread after I took the following pics -

    Attachment 68978 Attachment 68979

    I guess I'm just reinforcing the fact that many 'cladded' verandahs are being skew nailed rather than being constructed with brackets.

    What are the issues of constructing a roof with this method as opposed to using brackets / multigrips / triplegrips / joist hangers?

    Thanks in advance,
    Dr - 307.
    All decks should be stained....black white black white black white.......after all it would match anything!
    All roofs should be covered or tiled.....black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond.........after all, we wouldn't want a mismatch!

    No tie down against wind uplift.

    And that's what the brackets give us right?
    So if I was to nail them in with a gun and then multigrip them then that would be more than ample.......right jm?

    Well it would depend on the terrain rating where the structure is located, but in general for non-cyclonic areas it would probably be fine. Up here there's a batten over the verandah beam or wall which gets a 12mm (min) threaded rod through it next to each rafter as additional tie down. Best bet is to work off properly drawn and detailed plans which will give you all that.
