How to reinforce this rafter structure on a garage roof? Is there such a thing as an offset hangar? Or a hangar which runs through a beam?
Rafters are 2x6, the central beam is a single 2x6. It’s a garage roof and non-weight bearing. So, while it’s definitely light duty, that’s not a particular concern for me. I found some face joist hangars which seem like they would be appropriate (Photo 3). However, if I used the screws or nails suggested by the joist manufacturer, they would interfere with each other since the central beam is only a single 2x6. What would be the best way to approach this? I’ve tried to find hangars with offset holes, but I haven’t found any yet. I would rather not sister up the central beam if it’s avoidable since the span is substantial (+-28 feet). submitted by /u/RelayFX [link] [comments]
