How are the 8 x 8 posts secured to the floor? I live in the mountains of CO and have high winds. »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Verdance Fine Garden Design The posts are bolted to Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners embedded in poured concrete footings. I can't speak to whether this would be appropriate for your situation-- I highly recommend you speak with a licensed and experienced contractor to determine the best method for you.

How did you attach the middle rafter and the purlins? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Verdance Fine Garden Design I believe the middle rafter was toenailed (toescrewed?) into the beams, and the purlins toenailed (screwed) into the rafters.

jim8kin John,
I am about to go purchase the materials for this project and I was curious on the bolt sizes you used to secure the rafter, etc.
Thanks for the help and I can't wait to see my finished project.
Wish me luck!!

Verdance Fine Garden Design Sorry, Jim, I can't tell you that. I didn't provide construction specs for this, just trusted the project carpenter. However, as far as I know there wasn't anything extraordinary about the fasteners, so I would guess a good DIY reference (or lumber yard) would be able to help you there. I will wish you luck, though -- post pics of your success here on Houzz!
