Re: [MBZ] Building question
Funny you should mention that. I'm building a shed to put snowmobiles in. It'll be 4x4" posts with a "shelf" at 48" and a roof over top. This year it'll get wrapped in a green tarp, next year it might get T111 siding if finances allow. Keeping the machines out under tarps all summer is hard on them. I'm planning on 8x12 which will allow for 2 big modern machines under the shelf and 2 or 3 (hoping on 3) on the shelf. My plan for the shelf is 2x6s on the outside (so build a rectangle 8x12) with 2x4 on 16" centers down the middle. I'm planning to through bolt the 2x6 outers to the 4x4 posts, I don't want there to be any sway in the posts. I'll run 4" deck screws through the 2x6 ends into the 4x4s while avoiding the bolts. Probably ought to deal with a certain '78 240D first though. -Curt Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 14:24:00 -0500 From: Randy Bennell To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Building question Message-ID: <535ffc50.8060...@bennell.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I agree in regard to the pre-drilled holes.

I guess it depends on who you talk to. I have been using the ceramic coated screws with treated lumber. Not sure the stainless ones are any better.

Re: [MBZ] Building question
Funny you mention that. The builders place I go to for my stuff told me that the "special" screws were no better than the regular galvanized/coated deck screws with the new formulation of the treating treatment stuff.

Re: [MBZ] Building question
Now that part makes sense! Sometimes the building inspectors won't even let you use screws. Nails have more resistence to shear if I understand right. Unless you buy the right screws. Simpson Strong Tie folks have special screws intended for use with some of their fasteners for example. A couple of years back, my brother in law was building a deck on the back of his house. I was giving him some advice and suggested he use screws with the joist hangers. The building inspector made him remove the screws and drive the short nails. I used the screws (and not the Simpson ones as I don't think they existed then) when I built my deck/screened porch, in 1984 and it has not fallen down yet. I like using screws. They tend to pull things in nice and tight. They are also more removable if one changes one's mind and needs to remove the recently installed stud. Maybe tie it together with screws and once satisfied that one is not going to change things any more, then go back with the air nailer and drive the recommended number of nails too. Who was claiming to be a belt and suspenders type of fellow recently - ?? On 28/04/2014 6:29 PM, Larry Turner wrote: My apologies -- I meant to say "Dry Wall Screws" - Duh..
