Re: [RE-wrenches] Engineered rafters

[Ray Walters]

We just did one, and I used some fairly short Timberlok type lags (thinner and stronger)  I wasn't super excited about only having an inch of wood to grab, but the edge wood is stronger and denser than regular 2x material it seemed.  I predrilled the holes, and got solid anchors, without splitting.
