I am going to start installing the ledger boards to hold the suspended timber floor to the extension.
I have been looking at the setting out before ordering the materials and have a query for the rear wall where the back doors are located.
Below where the rear doors will be located there is a course of brick then blocks bellow. If i bolt the ledger board at its mid point (4") it would be very close to the top of the block and i assume it will blow. How do i deal with this. Should they be bolted in a staggered set up or just at the mid point. How often and at what location across the height of the timber should they be installed?
Thanks in advance
