Attaching ridge beam to existing house

Post by logan »

Hi all!

I wish I would have snapped a few pictures, but I'll try to explain as best as i can in the interim.

I'm doing a screened-in deck on the 1st floor of a 2-story house, and need to tie my ridge beam into the existing wall structure of the house. Any recommendations on the best way?

I thought of just getting 2 pieces of angle-iron, through bolting to the ridge beam, and then lag bolting to existing studs in the wall... any thoughts on this approach?

Thanks in advance!
