Hi
I'm building a basic 3 x 3 deck in my shed for storage purposes. It will be 1.8 high. I'm up to attaching the joists to the bearers. The joists will sit on top of the bearers. I intend to use a Pryda product to make the join. But which tie is the best
- Joist straps
- Triple ties
- Unities
Another thing. Is there any advantage in using 4 ties per joist. Two at each end on either side of the joist.
Finally, the bearers are used pine but the joists are like iron. Old used seasoned hardwood off Noahs ark. I intend to nail the ties to the bearers but drill & screw them to the joists. Will doing this create a problem. The deck will be completly under cover.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
