HI,
i am about to build a small pitched roof timber structure. It has 4x4 posts and is only 3x3. What is the best way to connect the beams on the corners?
I know I could notch 6x6 but those posts were too big for my needs. I am attaching 2x6 as the beam. I was reading that simply bolting it created a sheer weight issue.
I can't notch a 4x4 as i dont think it would leave enough wood behind (unless I am wrong).
Is there a suitable connecting tie?
ANy suggestions please?
