I've got some hardwood decking - massaranduba 28x145 and planning to deck an area of 2.4m x 4m next to the house using a ledger of 50 x 150 x 4000 at ground level. Do I have to use joist hangers?
My question is what size wallbolt should I use to fix the ledger and how many? What sort of wallbolt should they be? Also, I've been told to use stainless steel bolts. Is this necessary?
Similarly, what size decking screws should I use? Should they also be stainless steel?
Is there anything else that I need to be aware of before embarking on this project?
