Fasteners for wooden structures. I deviate from the construction rules.

When they start pointing their fingers at GOSTs, pointing out my "mistakes", I immediately understand that a person does not want to think. This does not mean that I am against the system... 😎, of course, there are things from which you cannot retreat. But to act according to templates, in my opinion, is also not always correct and justified.

✅ All this, I wanted to express after some of my readers began to point out the erroneousness of my decisions during the construction of the roof.

Therefore, today, I decided to deal with everything ...

1️⃣ The center run comes first in the list. Or rather, the knot for supporting the jibs on the vertical posts.

All builders shout at the top of their lungs that this should not be done, and all such connections should be in the joint.

I do not argue that if you build a whole house of wood, with such nodes as mine, then problems cannot be avoided.

But in my case, the whole center run, has more of a supporting role than a carrier. Here, this whole structure is needed, only for the convenience of installing the rafters, which in the future will take on the entire load.

2️⃣ Racks and crossbars also haunt many. And that's all, because of the attachment points similar to the previous ones.

The role of these parts - this is an increase in the bearing capacity of the rafter legs. But the degree of amplification can be different.

When the rafters are more than 6 meters long, and even composite (with lengthening), then the racks with crossbars are no longer an auxiliary, but a necessary supporting element. In this case, all connections are best done according to the rules.

And for me, with a rafter length of a little less than 6 meters, a section of 50 by 200 mm., And a relatively "sharp" roof, all the reinforcements play the role of a safety net, in case of emergency. And in this case, the hairpin with nails will do the job.

3️⃣ Well, from the latter - my version of strengthening the floor and attaching the racks to it.

✅ Here, I tied those same auxiliary posts with the floor beams, and additionally received reinforcement for it.

Here, in general, some comrades began to say that the racks should not be rigidly fixed to the ceiling, that in general the roof would put pressure on everything, and this whole joint structure would shake ...

What are you talking about ???

Here is a standard scheme, which I did not come up with, and the type of which my rafter system is made of.

❗ For what all connections are made, so that the structure is a single whole, and each element reinforced and secured each other.

Of course, many will look at my reasoning as a novice self-builder, with a high, “expert's” glance, and will again say that the whole house will fall apart... But I'm already used to it... 👍

The main thing that I wanted to say: Each decision always depends on the specific situation.

And while the house is standing (ugh, ugh), 💥SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL💥, and like 👍.
