Screen Porch Help
Hi All,
Weekend Warrior question. I am building a screen porch. My floor to roof post are 6x6's spaced at 8 feet. 16x16 floor. The roof will be an A-frame. My question is: How do I build my wall cap? I was planning on using the 6x6 post, across the top, but the inspector indicated that he doesn't have span charts for 6x6s. so do I use 2 2x6's and lay them flat/horizontal on top of the posts, or do I put them vertical? or use 2x10s. I plann on connecting them with simpson ties thanks. Dan |
