I have been putting in a cut roof ..... where the joist crosses the rafter I have arranged that these meet side by side rather than meeting under each other (as in a truss)
What is considered best way of joining these together ...
they are 100 x 50 treated C24 timber.
i.e. as per this sketch ...

I could simply screw together with 2 coach screws per joint, using http://tinyurl.com/mnr8ll6
This would seem strong enough to me, these are the fixing that are used to join joists together to make double joists .. have a load left over from a truss roof job.
I could even put a timber connectors between them as well

Or to use those would I need to put a thru bolt

and have this pass thru the timber connector ...... just the thru bolts will not look nice as open rafters on show.
